Fall colors everywhere, like a fire that starts slowly until it burns completely in full passion. Good time for reflection, and around here...lots to do!

October 2nd, Gallery night at the Overture Center was fun and really busy. Lots of events around town plus the opening 2009-2010 season of the Madison Symphony Orchestra with guest pianist Peter Serkin in the building made it for a buzzing night full of people visiting the galleries. Most of our group of 121 artists, had art displayed through out three floors of the Overture Center. Meredith had a nice write up in one of the local papers.

We decided to show 2 of our collaboration pieces, expeditions to the unexpected, a fun and energizing experience.

Here with "Three points of view"

and with "Untitled"

We had a nice auction, one of my towers found a new home. Made new friends, talked a lot then, and much more later while celebrating with tapas and sangria in good company of friends. Salud!

Saturday 3rd...took some of our 400 pounds of red clay for a hands-on demonstration at the new and super beautiful Sequoya Library.

Getting ready to play

ooooh this is quite fun!

Ritu and her girls busy at work

Relieving some stress

.look what I did! and look at mine!

Well... cleanup was not that easy, a bit of red in:  tables, chairs, tools...but we had a blast!
