Life is Like a Wheel

'Rotation'

Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier, Chicago

A Fine Art Photograph by Sherie Sloane

Life is like a wheel.  Sometimes we're up and sometimes we're at the bottom.  We all agree to that.  But what we seldom realize is that the people we ride with as we go around in our wheels also move along.  Our time with them are just here for the moment and will soon pass.

So take more time to enjoy your journeys with them.  Cheer when you're both up and hold on to each other when you're down.  For not too long, those times will be over.

To all of you who has, and still sharing this wonderful ride with me, Thank You.  You make the views up there even more beautiful.

Actual Workshop Painting

Is learning a new trade or skill in one of your to-do-list this summer?  Here's your chance to check that off from your list.  Learn how to paint in watercolor in an hour, all for free.  Materials are provided.  All you have to do is make time.  It's only an hour, and best it's on a weekend.  

Who knew you can be an artist in less than the time you commute from work to home or from running errands.  But for three years, sixty students went home feeling accomplished and happy to declare they're officially an 'artist' after attending my annual summer painting workshop.  Best proof is hanging their finished paintings on their walls for everyone to admire.

So what are you waiting for?  Mark your calendar this Sunday, June 12 from 12:00 to 1:00 PM. You have a date with me!  A painting date that is.  Bring the kids, your spouse, friends, in laws or co workers. Post workshop, go around the museum to experience the Passport to the World event shows and activities.  

Thanks to our gracious sponsors Strathmore Artist Papers for providing the watercolor papers for our students and Dick Blick Chicago.

See you there!  Be there at least half an hour early, seats fill up fast.  Bring extra brushes and pencils too.
