Stutz Artist Assoc. Holiday Show

I just wanted to thank all the people that came out for our Holiday Show Friday night. We had a big crowd and it was wonderful to see so many people come in enjoying the work of all the artists. The members organizing the show did a wonderful job! Thanks from me to them! I will possibly have some pics to show you of the show. I have a few that said they would send me some pics. I forgot my camera!!!

Tagged!

I want to thank Shirley Bass and Monica from "The Inkwell Alley", for putting a link to my blog and tagging me! Once again, be sure to check out their blog. They not only promote their work, but generously promote many other artists!

It seems that when you are "tagged", you are to write about interesting or bizarre things about yourself. Well.....from my prospective, I can't think of many interesting or bizarre things! I will tell you a little to give you an idea of who I am if you are so inclined to be interested. Ha-ha!

1.I was born and raised in Indianapolis Indiana. I live now just a few miles from Mooresville Indiana. Mooresville is still a relatively small town, known as the boyhood home of John Dillinger. 2. I "was" married and have one son that now happily lives in California with his beautiful fiance. 3. I have two horses, two dogs and two cats. Lots of wild creatures visit often also! Sometimes seems like living in a zoo!! Ha-ha! 4. I have painted all my life. I started out doing murals on my parents walls, (which they did not appreciate!). That is when they started buying me art supplies to keep me away from walls,etc. 5. I now work in my studio at the historic Stutz Business Center in Indianapolis. This is where they manufactured the "Stutz Bearcat Automobile", among others. 6. I am a full time artist/painter and absolutely love being able to do everyday what I love! 7. I love to learn new things. I try to learn something new each day that is not part of what I do. I like to share on Twitter new information I think people might enjoy. Feel free to "Follow" me and hopefully learn something new!

Learn Something New!!!

I have started something on my Twitter page (see the link below), and want to continue it here on my blog.

*

I used to drive my parents crazy asking them "Why". I still am asking that same question. I do not ever want to be satisfied with information that people give me. Question everything. If you learn something new, ask yourself why or when etc. Let one question lead you to another question. Expand your world and your mind!

*

I want to encourage everyone to learn something new each day. I would like for you to come back ("Follow" if you are not already) to my blog and let me know what you have learned.

I get bored with small talk! The world is a very big and complex place.

So many people let their world stop at the end of their nose! Venture out and expand your world.

Example, if you are an artist, learn something about science. If you are a scientist, learn something about the arts. Anything. Anything new! The mind is no different than your muscles. Use it or lose it!!!
