One Night Stand

I participated in the 4th annual One Night Stand production put on by The Studios of Key West . It starts Friday night with 5 directors picking 5 writers who picks a set of 5 actors who in turn pick 5 artists who then pick a sponsor and a genre. Friday night the writers create a play and give it to the director and cast early Saturday morning.
The actors rehearse and the artists and prop and costume people scurry around and paint a backdrop and procure costumes and build props for the show. The show begins at 7:00 that evening and the audience is treated to 5 funny quick plays. It was an incredibly fun experience. Myself and Maggie Ruley and Michael Sanders all painted a 12"x15" canvas backdrop with palm trees and houseboats as our play took place at a bus stop at Garrison bight in front of houseboat row. Below are pictures of all 5 plays

The Time Travelers Wife

Just finished reading this wonderful book. I am probably the last to read it since I get my books at yard sales and Salvation army. It was an intriguing Sci fi concept and a powerful, touching love story. I am having pangs of sadness it is over and must find a new book soon!

John Hiatt - Have a little faith in me

I am working on getting my music onto my mp3 player and came across this, never knew he wrote this always loved this song.

An embarassment of Mangos

I was gifted bags and bags of mangos today, there are so many it is almost embarrassing to have this many. I have to wait a few days for them to ripen but then I will be peeling and freezing and standing at the sink with the juice dripping down my arms!

I have also been painting mango trees under the moon. These frames are a bit funky and very different but i like the oddness of them. These are at the gallery.

Tropical storm Bonnie

Tropical Storm Bonnie should be blowing through the Keys Friday. First close call of the season. Stocked up on Vodka and have the makings of banana nut mango bread. Its always good to be prepared but I think this will just fly by quickly.

Newest painting

Today I painted with the group I often paint with but haven't in a couple of months. It was wonderful and I really enjoyed it. Jim had a pile of mangoes and someone brought their bird, funny enough, named Mango. He is a Senegalese parrot.We all painted and I had such a good time. Will try and get this in the gallery by Friday with just a slat frame I think. It is very colorful and 16"x20"
