Group Art Show Invite
Hi all,
Just wanted to invite you to the Orland Art Center group show for August with a special artist reception on August 5th from 3 to 7 p.m. I’ll be exhibiting Luisa’s Smile, Wealth, and my clay version of Return of Joy. My dear friend Luisa will be showing her painting that she did when she was around 40 (she’ll be turning 92 this month) called “Far Eastern Loveliness.”
Getting to display together with Luisa is a memory I will always cherish. We did a t.v. news interview together the other night and are going to be interviewed tomorrow for a newspaper review. I hope that more of Luisa’s life story will be told in that review because she is inspiring at how to live a happy and rewarding life.
Tonight I gave Luisa a spaghetti squash, something she’d never seen or eaten. She asked if it was sort of like a pumpkin. I said it kind of is in the way that you prepare it. You first cut it in half, then scoop out the seeds, steam and scoop out the stringy like squash. She’s going to try it and see if she likes it. I told her it’s very difficult to cut it in half but she assured me she could do it because she has an electric knife. 
When we saw Luisa tonight, it was nearly dark and she was outside on her county road coming back home pulling her little metal cart and her poodle and some of her nephews dogs were with her in tow. She had been working in her yard and where her nephew lives pulling weeds etc. That’s the secret to staying young: never sit at home doing nothing, work, be involved, try new things like eating squash you’ve never seen, love people, give to people, be innocent like a child. She looks at every new thing with wonder and I just can’t believe she’s so innocent and sweet at her age. So many people change as they get older, get cold and calculating. Not her, still innocent and someone could so easily take advantage of her because she’s so trusting but no one will because she’s too sweet.
Hope to see you there at the show,
~Tamara
