Art

Today I picked up two paintings from an art exhibit at the Covey Center.  I am working on a painting of my grandson James Hancock.  I went to a meeting of an art group I belong to this evening.  A museum curator critiqued art of those who brought their paintings.  I was there to act in my capacity of membership chairman and treasurer.  I continue in the group for two reasons.  I enjoy having a motivation for continuing as an artist which I feel helps me stay mentally alert, or more than I would be if I didn't exercise my mind.  At the moment I am more interested in completing my plans for my chickens.  There are many problems to be dealt with because I tend to make things difficult.  The other reason I continue is because it is a service to others.  Any organization requires a few people who are willing to offer others their time and effort.  It feels good to see our organization attract artists.
