We went out yesterday afternoon and helped move trees around and set up things for the Festival of Trees. We helped more in past years, but this year we are going to the show at the Bunkhouse. I donated the painting, Crafts Prairie View. You can see the painting and more information here.
Here is Gene putting the top on the tree that the Board of Directors donated. Peggy Colbert is the chair of the Festival. She is in the middle with her back to us.
The trees had been on display at the Lost Pines Resort for a few weeks and the big gala is tonight. Hope you can go support the Family Crisis Center.
Gene and I will be on the road a couple of days. I will post on our return.
I am an artist that paints in pastels, with some oils, and acrylics. I sketch in pen and ink. As an artist my original paintings are influenced from living in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Bolivia, Peru and Chile, and travels throughout much of Canada and all our fifty States. This is my spot for posting paintings and sketches, to muse mostly about art, life and a little about UT Baseball.

- I Grew up in a small town , Magdalena, New Mexico. I enjoy art and the pleasure other people get from my work. I always donate some of my sales and art to charities, especially for children. That started in Bolivia with Para los Niños. "I cannot pretend to feel impartial about colors. I rejoice with the brilliant ones and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns." -- Winston Churchill

OK. That photo says it all. Now I know why Gene does all that "volunteer" tree decorating...look at all the helpers!
Leslie, Tee hee. He does seem to enjoy the day. :)
Later,
Jo
