Today was the National Arts Drive, in which artists all over the United States and Mexico put their art outside for the public to see. I invited Michelle Fillmore to do it with me. We set up easles and put out work in my front yeard. I felt rather vulnerable and wondered if anyone would come, but it was wonderful to share my art with my neighborhood, and I deeply appreciated people who drove over from San Francisco and Lafayette to see my new work. Lots of children got to experience art in a breezy low-pressure environment. If this event happens again, I'd definitely encourage more artists to do it.
