I have very little to write this week – the weather was sunny and fair, and we finally found an actual dog park for Berlino near the Panaro River. I’ve been looking for it for a year, but Google could never quite get me there.

We’re working on our dining paintings, for our "Dinner" show at the gallery. Our neighbor brought us to a meeting of area artists on Thursday, which was really kind of him. These groups generally don’t appeal to me, because it’s often just a session to complain about no sales (this encourages one not to paint, but to sell). It’s why we keep our Art Salon as a place to SHOW our work, not sell or advertise it. With the meeting Thursday evening, I would have been happier if everyone in the group brought something they made. One woman wore a blouse she hand decorated, which was terrific.

It was a tough week in Roccamalatina with a selfish and rather nasty guest. It happens. It’s made me think I never want to entertain again, but hopefully that feeling will pass. In the meantime, we’re keeping a low profile, with no further guests until late August.

I can never tell if it is better to be like a fancy person (you know the ones, who’ve never had a “problem”, or a sickness, or a failure? (dig deeper)), suppress my feelings, enduring the difficulty, OR respond to the situation directly. I get a terrible headache when I hold it all inside. I really wanted to leave this guest at the side of the road, but I knew Blair would feel compelled to go rescue her.

I always think one learns by their mistakes, but if nobody points them out, how would you know it was a mistake? I never really "learn" the answers to the questions I get right, only the ones I miss.

INVITING All Artists to present their Work: Paint, Literature, Crafts, Food....
Pessemier's Sunday Salon Weekly on Sunday No Reservation Necessary
How it works: Bring a piece of your ART: that could be visual, like painting or printmaking; or literary, as in poetry or prose; or crafts, like metalwork or knitting; or food, or music. Something you made, or feel particularly inspired by. You have about 5 minutes to present, and we'll ooh, ahh, or answer questions you have. You can also come and see how we work before diving in. Just show up on Zoom at a minute or two before the hour. No selling, no networking until after everyone has presented.
