This past Sunday (29th) a bunch of us, organized by Rita Lyman, held a benefit for Steve Testa. Steve, an artist and jazz musician, was in a devastating car accident that broke nine of his ribs, his sternum, and punctured and collapsed a lung (Steve is to the left in the pic playing the bass). Tickets were sold at the door, his paintings were for sale and auctioned off. Quite a few bands and musicians lent their talent for entertainment, from rock to hip-hop. Some of us cooked, I made turkey closet chilli (what I had in the closet:) and corn muffins. It was quite a lot of fun. There was also poetry and improvisation. The day was near 80 degrees, it was beautiful. And beautiful too that the local artists would/can band together to support another artistic soul.
I've been busy getting ready to return to work on my River Series since then. Purchased six more canvases couple days ago. Excited! Hopefully I will be posting pics of current work soon.
