What a fun weekend my family and I had. The Art Chix, a lovely group of enthusiastic and talented ladies from Seattle, visited several studios in our neighborhood including ours. Roseanne Olson took some wonderful photos for the occasion. Roseanne's Photos
We sipped apple cider and enjoyed pumpkin spice muffins at our studio/gallery. Then Saturday evening, we all met down the beach for Paella and wine, ginger icecream, laughs and fun! Paella is a wonderful rice dish that was cooked with clams from the beach and tomatoes from the garden all in a huge pan on an open fire. Here are some recipes: http://www.spain-recipes.com/paellarecipes.html

ReplyDeleteThank you Marlene and Carole, Crows are wonderful and I love all the subtle colors that can be found in their feathers depending on the lighting.
