Hot Sauce

At the suggestion of friends I visited Avery Island this past weekend. It's where Tabasco is made. It also happens to be home to a famous white egret nursery. I can honesty say that I spent no time at all thinking about jewelry, zero. The weekend was the closest I will get to A Light in August for quite some time. The Bayou is very hard to leave. It is inspiring to me as an artist. The most wonderful thunder storm rolled in during the day, perfect time to watch the Preakness. It's easy to see the brilliance and heart in animals as they race down the track. Several years ago a horse named Tabasco Cat won the race. I really don't know what  that has to do with anything, but I plan to spend far more time in the Bayou when I return. As well as dream about the live oaks when I paint my renderings.
