Hi there
Yes, it’s been quite a while. Sorry about that. If anyone is still reading, here are a few fun photos from my visit to the Desert Botanical Garden. Angie and I went to the Chihuly installation and were agape at most of the art. It was a lovely morning. Perfect Phoenix winter – in the [...]
Return from the Red Rocks
Ah, really, there is nothing like the feeling of driving into Sedona. There is something about seeing those majestic red rock formations that just forces me to relax. It is one of the reasons I wanted to spend my birthday weekend up there. Another reason is that I am always inspired by the beauty of [...]
Post-Art Unraveled
Wow! What a week! Art Unraveled 2008 is officially over. And while I had a lovely time and I did my best to watch my energy levels, I’m exhausted. No surprise after 12 days of friends, art, and shopping! It was well worth the time and energy. I had a lovely time seeing so many [...]
Art Unraveled – Part 2
Yesterday I took a very good class with Barbara Roth called, “Creating Whimsical Watercolor Compositions”. It was a relaxing environment, with just five students and the instructor in a nice intimate classroom. In the morning we did a directed exercise. We went through all the steps together and started off with the same basic drawing [...]
Art Unraveled Day 1
Yesterday was my first class at Art Unraveled. I’m only taking a few classes so I can recuperate between classes and I don’t end up completely exhausted. Yesterday’s class was Two Art Quilts Two with Jane LaFazio. Angie, Joanne and I all took it together, which was a nice surprise! It was a great way [...]
Joanne is in town
Joanne is in town! She arrived safely from Michigan yesterday and called me for our evening together. Joanne is such a loving soul. I really enjoy spending time talking with her, sharing with her, and just being in the same room as her. It’s a lovely, relaxing and natural friendship. I’m blessed to have friends [...]
France Travel Journal, Part 3
Here is the third installment of the Paris part of our trip to France. Grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea and settle in, since it’s a marathon! But there are actual drawings this time, so art abounds! And we’re off…
So, after we got rained on – again – and headed to [...]
Passover and Auntie Fran’s Art Studio
Well, it’s been over a week since I last updated everyone on things here. I spent a week hosting my lovely niece, Eliana, and her parents (along with Flat Stanley!) here at Casa Saperstein. The spoons were spent early on but it was a lovely time filled with family, laughs, and new traditions.
Eliana attends a [...]
Chicago Report and Passover Preparations
This week, I joined my husband, Dave, on a trip to Chicago, IL. While Dave was at the annual American Academy of Neurology meeting, I met Joanne in Chicago for a few days of fun. We had a fantastic time time!
First, we met for a great dinner at Lockwood, the restaurant in Joanne’s hotel, The [...]
Saturday art
Today has been a great day! I woke up feeling great and excited for the day. For weeks, Angie and I have been planning to join in the International Sketchcrawl and we did it! We finally got to spend some time together and I was able to get out of the house!
Today was the 18th [...]
