Whew! My paintings are finally all framed and hung at the Glen Ellyn Library for the month of September. As most artists know, getting one's work ready for a show is usually more work than actually painting. I'm one of those artists who would rather be in the studio, happily creating, than anything else.

I like how my husband hung my paintings. He cleverly separated my Impressionist work from my Tonalist work. I think he did a great job.

We had some extra space at the end, near the wall. So I thought I'd bring in some of my older pastel work. Of course, soft pastels need to be under glass, so all you see is glare in some of these.

Here's a sample of just a few of the tomatoes we have on hand right now. There are many more bags in the downstairs refrigerator. There's always a
HUGE influx of tomatoes at this time of year. These are too small to make tomato sauce. I was thinking of making batches of salsa and freezing them. Does anyone have any more ideas on what to do with all these tomatoes?
