Travel Time

Things are coming together for the start of our road trip, bucket list stops, picking up RV, art shows, seeing friends, family and football at VA Tech. We kind-of kicked it off by going west for our anniversary this year, a short visit to CA. We literally will be going coast to coast.

We have our house sitter and friends all lined up for checking in on things and helping out along the trail. I will do my best to write blogs along the way of our new adventures. Rick will keep the Facebook pictures posted. Some highlights coming up: our trip was inspired by purchasing a Teardrop style RV. It is being made in Quebec, Canada and was back ordered. It will be ready late September and we need to be there to pick it up, hence the road trip.  After we pick up our little home on wheels, we head to MD. Staying with our friends Eric & Lori Rice, who own Willow Oaks craft cider & wine, with a large tasting room that houses original art. While we are there, my fellow artist friend Marilu Tousignaut and I will have a show at the Art Space within Willow Oaks. There are 2 stories of wall space and lots of new works will be on display. Opening weekend is October 20-21st from 11-5 each day. We will do demonstrations, talks on our techniques, Sunday afternoon, The Martin Family Band will perform folk-Celtic music for your enjoyment. Hope  you can stop by if you are in the area. October & November will have a few visits to VA Tech in Blacksburg, VA for football games, award dinners and new works coming to the Matrix Gallery on Main Street.

Lots going on this fall, we will get to visit with family and friends all along the way. But, before we hit the road, we must finish packing and load the car. That's my cue to wrap things up until next time.

Here's a sneak peak of some of the work heading east.
