April/May

Have ignored the diary for some time...not much happening.
Was disappointed not to be accepted into the Calabasas Art Show. Learnt later that the show was not very successful, which was surprising as I enjoyed the prior years.
Woodland Hills Show,March 20-21, had a low turnout and my booth did not do very well especially on the Saturday. It appears that Jay, an active Rotary Member will probably be more involved next year.
Mother's Day Show,May 9-10 in Studio City was a great success and much improved over the prior year. Sold original and boxed cards in the morning(Valerie Watts bought 3 boxes) and had significant interest in the paintings . Robert Tuley was my neighbor,master design goldsmith, had a good show.Cindy and Dominique were in different locations. Shirley Lipe dropped by. Hghlight was meeting a young couple Jennifer and Andrew Janko who fell in love with a new painting "Sea Breeze" and are now the proud collectors of the work.
June 5,6 I will be at the Conejo Valley Art Walk, Thousand Oaks(formally Countrywide Bld,101 @Moorpark). Always well organized and presented by the Conejo Valley Art Museum. Later in year will be in Los Altos and Mountain View.
UCLA Emeriti Art Show this Tuesday,May 18. Usually sell many cards with some money donated to the Art Show.
