Here are some shots of Josh Fradis of Sutherland Glass Art, Gridley, Ca. Josh was across from me at the Dunedin Art Festival. He has some of the most beautiful blown/thrown glass I have seen out here on the circuit. Absolutely stunning glass art! I hope to see him again in the future when, hopefully, I will have the funds sufficient to purchase the "Salmon" bowl shown here. You might notice how "frozen" Josh appears in the photo.

Arrived home last night at 10:30PM. The show was a total loss, without one sale. Unless I get some calls on commissions this week, the show will be our first ever "Zero Sales" show! I vacillated about staying home and working in the studio, but opted instead to leave Sherry here, and try to at least recoup our booth fee. Instead, I lost additional monies from travel expenses by doing the show. It was just too darn cold, and the cold continues.

As stated on theTV News this morning, temperatures dropped to 19F. here in Palmdale last night. I don't think that we saw those lows here, but that is what they reported. I checked my thermometer at 4:30 AM and it was hovering right at freezing. At sunrise we had frost. I can't see how it could have gotten to 19F.

Lucky for me, Sherry covered all of the plants yesterday afternoon (quite a feat!), so hopefully she saved the day, and we will suffer no further loss. Tonight is supposed to be the last of the Florida Deep Freeze of 2010. After this we go into a warming trend with highs tomorrow in the lower 60's, and continued warming throughout the week, eventually reaching into the lower 70's by weeks end. Rain comes in again on Saturday.

Today, we are back in studio completing projects from last week (Starry Nights in Pink Ice) and Nan Marricks "Fisheating Egrets". Sherry has completed the replacement panel for Falker, and I intend starting the commissions for....whoever is next in line.
