Winding down--or up?

 The Sierra Art Trails was a little slow for me, however I am relatively new to the area and have not
formed many acquaintances here yet. I did get to met several locals, local artists and a few collectors from Southern CA and the state of Washington, made a few sales. All in all it was a good experience. I am planning to do it again next year. Sometime in the Spring of '22, with Fred's help, I will add to the permanent display wall as I hope to have more artwork by then and will be short on hanging space.
     Time now to pack up "Mary's Ginger" as it will be on it's way to The Big Island (Hawaii) soon, to its new home--or maybe old home, as that is where the photo originated back in ?? 2007. 
   Then--it is back to my list of commissions. This may take  me until late 2022 to finish, but  hopefully not that long. Along with--at the same time-- painting commissions, I will have a couple of other paintings set up so that when I need a break from one I can work on the other. It is surprising what can be accomplished in just 15 minutes or so on a regular basis. Since Winter may be here already--27 degrees again this AM and still around 54 degrees-- I may set up a space in the house instead of the studio as a small heater takes quite a while to heat the studio--yet to be decided.
I am still not a blogger, but maybe I will improve in the future if , like painting, I practice, practice, practice!
I had no intention of blogging this morning, but wanted to add to my contact information. I have been overrun with scammers on my phone who have no ending to the amount of numbers they call from and I have been blocking about 4-5 per day. I then realized I had posted my phone number in several contact areas, plus my website and may have inadvertently blocked an inquiry. So--best way to contact me is by email: mpicatti@gmail.com. 
Thank you if you got this far! LOL

      i AM IN THE MIDST OF THE sIERRA aRT tRAILS STUDIO TOUR AND HAVE THE LAST WEEKEND ( 3 DAY) STARTING FRIDAY. iF ANYONE HAS CHECKED, i AM AT THE LEAST A VERY IRREGULAR BLOGGER--NOT EVEN A NEWSLETTER WRITER AS i NEVER SEEM TO FIND THE TIME FOR THIS.
in THIS CASE, i HAVE FOUND A MOMENT TO UPDATE MY WEBSITE A BIT AND THOUGHT i WOULD ADD A WORD.
     tHROUGH THE HARD WORK OF MY HUSBAND fRED, AND i, THERE IS NOW A DISPLAY WALL IN THE STUDIO. iT WAS SORELY NEEDED AS IT IS DIFFICULT TO HANG ARTWORK ON THE WINDOWS!  i HAVE ALSO ELIMINATED SOME FURNITURE PIECES  AND ADDED OTHERS. iN TIME i AM TRYING TO CREATE A MORE SPACIOUS STUDIO, WHILE STILL BEING FUNCTIONAL.. pUTTING MY DESK/TABLE ON CASTORS AND ELIMINATING MY NORMAL ARTIST PAINTING TABLE HAS WORKED GREAT. i MAY ADD A TABLETOP EASEL LATER, BUT MAYBE NOT. THERE IS MORE FLOOR SPACE AND  I WILL ADD ANOTHER SECTION OF WALL LATER AS i NEEDED TO ADD SOME OLD DISPLAY PANELS FOR ALL OF THE PAINTINGS TO BE VISIBLE.

i PLAN TO LEAVE THE PAINTINGS UP, AND POSSIBLY OPEN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.  ALTHOUGH i HAVE YET TO GET ACQUAINTED WITH MANY PEOPLE IN THE oAKHURST AREA, I WILL BE JOINING MORE OF THE PLEIN AIR MOUNTHY PAINT OUTS AND THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO MEET LOCAL ARTISTS AND RESIDENTS AND A LEARNING EXPERIENCE..
​fOR NOW, IF YOU ARE FOLLOWING aRT TRAILS TOUR, PLEASE STOP BY AND CHECK OUT MY WORK.
