Asheville on my mind

Asheville, North Carolina.......
spent a wonderful August week with my cousin Steve and his partner Chris. I taught watermedia and color pencil workshops at Random Arts over that weekend too...had a marvelous time with Jane Powell and friends! 
Fall Classes and Workshops are starting very soon! Take a look at my offerings and sign up! 








a Steve Parker Design 

Pickers (Steve and Chris) at Cline's Antiques in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Objective....find neat rusty metal stuff...
Essential gear- buckets, big canvas bags, socks, bug spray, sun screen lotion, gloves, big hats, ice chest with snacks, ice water, and wet rags for your neck...this was hard work, not for the weak or neat freak type person.... but.....oh...so ....fun! 
acres of neat stuff.....

my stash....5 dollars! 
then we had to fit our treasures in the trunk....
