My long absence is due to Norman’s rich art scene, my great art teacher, Carol Armstrong, who cracks the whip, assorted retreats and seminars (printmaking and mosaics, etc.), rescuing a garden dead with neglect (now glorious), and general laziness.

It’s sad to remember the Oklahoma bombing on this date, but recent heavy rains have lent us piercing clear blue skies, and this coming Easter Sunday reminds us that rebirth and change are a part of our daily river of life.

I’ve had the great pleasure of interviewing Ander Cardinale/Vicente Ertze and just posted some info on him elsewhere on this site. I’m looking forward to doing more frequent interviews in the months ahead—after I return from a few days in New York City the first of next month. That ought to get my own creative juices running like a waterfall! Will be posting on that, for sure.

Coming in a few days Norman’s great Music Festival, followed by Pride day activities, Jazz in June, Summer Breeze concerts, more Gallery openings, Friday art walks, and great restaurant meals. Enjoy it, Norman art folk—life is for living..
