If any of you have plans to be in Lubbock next weekend (and, really, where else would you want to be?) you might want to take in the Lubbock Studio Tour, which will feature about 50 local artists. This is my first year to participate, and my house is one of the host studios.

On my way home from the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops a few months ago, I was thinking back on the (grueling) week. I had a strong sense that something was about to happen, that some kind of important opportunity was close at hand. My very next thought was, “I hope I am smart enough to recognize it when it shows up.” Not even 24 hours later, an artist friend contacted me – she wanted to know if I’d be interested in being considered as a host studio for this event. Opportunity? Yes, it was…

Anyway, stop by if you can. In addition to art (I will be joined by three other local artists), we’ll have wine. And snacks.

(The Lubbock Studio Tour is a project of the Lubbock Arts Alliance.)
