The Annual Summer "STINKING FISH STUDIO TOUR" is now on in Metchosin and East Sooke, just outside VICTORIA on the South End of Vancouver Island. Visit artists in a variety of media in a self-drive tour in the gorgeous environment of the Pacific Northwest. 

IT RUNS DAILY 10am - 5pm UNTIL SUNDAY, AUGUST 12TH

APOLOGIES TO MY REGULAR READERS FOR KEEPING YOU WAITING FOR THE NEXT BIG BLOG POSTING, BUT
I HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY WITH THE TOUR.  I AM A LOT SLOWER AT EVERYTHING THAN I USED TO BE AND HAVEN'T YET ACCLIMATIZED! I AM ALSO TRYING TO GET SOME NEW "GLAZE PAINTING" WORK DONE IN THE STUDIO. THIS IS ALSO QUITE A SLOW PROCESS.

I SHOULD HAVE THE NEXT POSTING, TITLED "FERNS'NFINGS" BY WEDNESDAY OF THIS COMING WEEK. IT IS A COMBINATION OF GARDEN STUFF, IDEAS OR THINKING STUFF, OBSERVATION AND DRAWING STUFF.

I HOPE TO SEE YOU LATER.  RH
