Saturday evening nine of the women who have taken my Artist's Way Creative Clusters gathered in Portland on Rapture for a reunion. Twenty were invited, so I was pleased that almost half could attend. In preparation, I had gone to the Portland Farmer's Market and bought a couple pints of fresh, local strawberries.
The women began to arrive in late afternoon. Laura came bearing a large foil-covered bundle, which turned out to be a work of art - fresh fruit spears embedded in a half of watermelon.
Susan had fun rearranging the magnetic poetry on my refrigerator.
With our bellies full, we settled in for a couple hours of sharing: what we've been doing, what our creative lives have looked like, plans for the future, health and family issues, and we even did a good share of laughing. Kathleen and Laura look at a photograph of an art project Bobbie has been working on.
As we were wrapping up, a bride, groom, and their bridal party were walking down the boat ramp. We all went out on deck to clap and wish them well . . . they ended up on our boat with their photographer and videographer snapping photos!
Howard arrived home in time to snap a group photo. Thank you, ladies, for being in my life.
