Nautilus

The Nautilus is a funny creature if you happen to see one alive. I have, and quite frankly I think they are creepy looking at best. Their shells however, are some of the most beautiful.
This evening found me in my studio with a Susan, a student that has found her spark in painting. She excitedly told me about all that she had completed this week. I am very pleased to hear she is so happily getting ready for a show we are having in September. She is also my companion on some of my shows as she enjoys the travel, the show itself, the inspirations, and the learning experiences. I am very grateful to have such a true and loyal friend.
