And I always find it funny when the tops of the skyline disappear into the clouds… because I’m always thinking of those people who paid a ton of money for their gorgeous view of the City… and it’s GONE today!!! Waking up to sheer grayness everywhere they look out through their expensive windows!!! HA!!!

Quiet waters & shimmering reflections… that’s how I’m gonna sum it up today.

You gotta love when one of your art fair “besties” brings you a little chocolate-covered yumminess to help make the art fair day even better! Thanks Rhonda… you know me too well!!! Ha!

All set-up, replenished & ready for Day Two of the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR.
We’re open until 5:00 pm today… so c’mon by to say “Hi” in Booth #28.

The weather forecast for Day Two of the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR seems to be “beautiful & partly cloudy”… which also worked great for this morning’s sunrise bike ride. I love when there are some good clouds for the sun to play with. Changing the colors & layers throughout the morning. Making the ride a little tougher than it needs to be… as I just “need” to stop more often to capture the ever-changing sunrise effects!!! … oh shucks.

Nothing like working at the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR all day today… and then spending the night in the studio pulling handles & making more mugs!!! And then back to the art fair again tomorrow! No rest for the weary.

Dramatic clouds flying low on the horizon this morning.
The water was perfectly still… which also gave us some incredible reflections!
