Hello!
Does anyone subscribe to or get these blog posts anymore? It seems Instagram has replaced this online venue - or, am I incorrect?
My last post here was July 2025 when we were getting ready for the Second Annual Dockton Art Walk. We had a great Art Walk here on Vashon Island and then, in December, I had a great VIVA Holiday Tour at my Dockton Art Studio. A lot has changed since then.
Last Fall, my husband Jay and I decided to relocate on the island. We need less land to care for and I need a more consolidated Studio and office. Right now, my office is in the house, my mini studio turned into my frame shop and my "real" studio (Dockton Art Studio) is the third bay of the garage.
Also, I have noticed that I may be missing my "Golden Years." I have been waiting for them to arrive but recently, an artist friend, along with my daughter, suggested that I'm in the middle of them NOW. I imagine Golden Years to be days when I don't have obligations to make art or volunteer for art groups. I'm consciously letting go of that now.
I also imagine Golden Years to be when I learn new things about art and life in general. I have a few things in mind, as time and energy allow.
I would like to keep in touch. Let me know if you get this. You can always reach me by email barbaranewton@comcast.net or through Instagram or Facebook (I'm not great at Facebook).
Happy painting and Happy Spring.
Barbara
