some of my artist friends

Yesterday one of my artist friends from my former studio at the art center had made plans to come and visit my new space, and I was so looking forward to seeing her and catching up. As it turned out she surprised me with a visit from a second wonderful resident artist friend who came to see me and my new space as well, bringing flowers and thoroughly delighting me when I answered the door.

It was so great to see them and they took me to lunch at the Irish Inn to celebrate my new digs, and we chatted and caught up on each other's lives. It turned out to be a wonderful afternoon and I was so glad to spend time with them. We made plans for a faux encaustic workshop at my studio and all agreed that we need to get together more often.

I am so fortunate to have some amazing artist friends and at the end of the day yesterday I got to see another artist friend of mine when I stopped by the art center to pick up some paintings that had been decorating a lobby area. This artist friend had not heard about the party at my place in time to come, and I was so glad to get to see her as well. I told them they are all welcome to come by any time they like as I have missed them and our interactions so much. One of the great things about having been at the art center for so long was building some wonderful friendships with these amazing artists - great, supportive, and kind people.
