Excitement

M comes home tonite, late.  I will be driving the 2 1/2 hours to LAX to pick him up.  He will be home just ten days, which I know will fly by quickly.  I have so much to do, but I find it is difficult to focus on anything or sit still.  Perhaps it would be best if I did something that involved not sitting, since that isn't working out very well for me.

I just updated my website with some new paintings from the "Desert Inspired" Series and upcoming events.  If you have the time, feel free to hop on over and take a look!  karineswenson.com

I am nearly ready for tomorrow night's opening at JTAG (Joshua Tree Art Gallery) in Joshua Tree!  The art has been hung, the price lists typed out, some wine purchased.  I just need to prepare a plate of finger food and figure out what to wear (I know - I'm SUCH a girl).  Then, I will be ready.  If you are in town, I'd love to see you there.

Since sitting still is a problem, I will post one photo and then be off to pace back and forth.
