It's been hot and humid while I've been at work.  Once 5 o' clock hits, I'm all set to flee into the blazing sun toward the beach.  I drop my towel, keys, and other items into the scalding hot sand and make my way to the cool water.   There's just a gentle splash at the shoreline on the calm waters.  The rays of the sun still penetrating my skin as I wade just beyond the sand bar.

This painting would look best in a space that is green, red, yellow, orange, purple, green, brown  black, white, grey, beige, or wood.

My feet sink into the fine beach sand as I make my way toward the bonfire.  A case of beer in one hand and a bundle of wood under the other arm are the price of admission.  The heat of the sun begins to give way to the cool breeze blowing off the lake.  The scent of the shoreline pares perfectly with the changing colors of the sky.  I faintly hear my friends voices over the water splashing as they collect wood and prepare for a perfect summer night.

This painting would great in a space that is red, orange, dark yellow, green, blue, purple, black, white, gray, beige, or wood.

We've been hiking all morning enjoying the foliage, which is at its peak.  The colors seem to explode all around us in the fresh crisp air.  The dried up leaves crunch under our feet as we continue down the path.  We come upon an overlook and a place to rest and snack.  A region glows over Buck and Moose Islands all the way to Whiteface Mountain.

This painting would look best in a space that is dark red, light orange, purple, yellow, green, blue, purple, beige, black, white, or wood.

SOLO SHOW AT WHITMAN WORKS

FINAL WEEK!

We've been having so much fun that we can't believe it's almost over.  There's been parties, good food, plenty of drinks, seen old friends, made new one's, and sold pieces to our neighbors and patrons as far away as Australia.  As pieces have found new homes, they've been replaced with new works.  So, if you haven't been to Whitman Works in a couple weeks, it's almost a new show.  THANKS AGAIN for all your support and please join us at:

Mike Kraus Wins a Contest and Reviews Facial Polish!

YEAH!  I won a bottle of Detoxifying Charcoal Facial Polish from Lemongrass Spa and it just arrived in the mail!

Detoxifying polish extracts impurities and exfoliates dry skin.  Super antioxidants contained in red raspberry and acai help recharge cells for glowing, radiant skin. 

It's the first day of Spring and my face feels like sandpaper after a cold winter and the blast of dry central air for the last six months. 

Only need a little dab, which means a two ounce container should last forever. 

Massage into the skin with upward strokes. 

The price of beauty before rinsing off with cool water.

My face feels so much better.  It's really soft and now I smell raspberries everywhere I go.  Highly recommended.  If you'd like a bottle, contact Mandi at Lemongrass Spa at: http://www.ourlemongrassspa.com/4812
