I had a great time in Bedford Iowa and again in the Rock Island show:
And for someone who said they are through with shows here are my next shows for this year.
It is a lot of work but you meet such Fantastic people it makes it all worth while. Maybe next year I will slow down.

Sunday July 15-Marshalltown, Iowa
Saturday August 4th Hoover library

Grand daughters wedding end of July another end of August. Maybe I can learn no on any more shows this year.
I have been going out in the motor home and painting early mornings. The last 4 mornings I have been in the Palisades Park.  Some of the places I have been I can not find again. I know it was near Toddville and I think I have taken every road except the one that says road closed.  I drive the roads and think well, this is easy to find, I can drive down a road and think yes, I was down this road, now where did I go from here? No luck. Let’s hope I can find my way back to where I was Sunday night. I know the sign said end of road. As you can see when looking for a place to paint I do not pay attention to how I get there. It is easy to find your way home but not back to where you were.

For all of you artists, the light at that time of day is fantastic and the bugs are not as bad as they are in the evening.  Inside the motor home seems too confining. In some places it is safer, but when in a park or an area where the cars do not kick up a lot of dust, outside is still the best.

I have a very small motor home and I finally found a way to stand up and paint. I love the one I have but in three years I plan to get one with bigger windows and a push button generator, 19 miles to the gallon, and maybe even a push button awning. Things I did not know before I bought this one. This is a learning experience for what I want in a motor home and I am thankful for what I have.
