As the new year begins I'm happy to announce that I've been invited to exhibit my art at the La Canada Flintridge Library once again. This will be my third year and I'm really happy to be back! The exhibit will be up for the entire month of February.
When I was young there was no place more exciting to go to than the library! This is where you could find exciting books and pictures that made your imagination grow leaps and bounds! It's where you could discover stories and photos of wild animals, bugs, plants and exotic places! It's where I got hooked on the childhood classics and then books like the Nancy Drew series. (I've always loved a good mystery.)
And, nowadays, you can check out DVDs, magazines and CDs for free, unless you're late returning them which I usually am. But that's okay. Whenever I pay my late fees I know the money is going to a great cause.
There have been times that I've been unemployed (or underemployed) and the library made it easier for me to send out resumes, research prospective companies or to update my skills.
And, you're never alone in the library. You can almost feel the buzz of concentration and inspiration that others are soaking up and tapping into.
I think my paintings like to hang on the walls whenever I display at a library. It's a most unpretentious atmosphere! Some day I may graduate to a gallery in Beverly Hills or NYC, but for now I'm perfectly content exhibiting at libraries around town.
Below are a few paintings currently on display at the La Canada Flintridge Library. And, if you'd like to see the whole bunch, please click on the link right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cuh2UfnIJNY
