Pedal the Petrified, A 60-mile ride Petrified Forest National Park, Holbrook , AZ

 

I drove up from Tucson to participate in Northland Pioneer College's "Pedal the Petrified" 60-mile bike ride to help raise money for student scholarships.  They also had a shorter version.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I stayed in this great RV park in Holbrook, AZ.  They had cute cabins available to rent.  I loved the swing and it also had a picnic table in front.

 

They had a GREAT cowboy cookout with steaks or chicken.  I would go back up just to enjoy the cookout.  I brought my laptop with me so I could do some work while waiting for my dinner to cook.

 



I was so excited.  I was the first rider to show up at the event.

The riders participating in the 60-mile ride get to go first.  I was the only trike.

I almost stepped on this little guy when I pulled into a SAG stop.  You have to look closely to see him!

This was a wonderful event.  I got in just before a storm hit.



 

 

On my way home I caught this triple rainbow.

Finding Balance - My Goal for 2014

  I have so many projects going that I barely have room on my drafting table to work any more. 

 

 This is my new Moleskin planner - I decorated the cover. 
My goal is to find more balance in my life and art in 2014!
Stay tuned....more projects to be posted!
 

 

First complete projected for the New Year!

I started this in 2013 for a friend and finally finished and delivered it yesterday.  It went through a lot of changes from the original concept.  I did love working with the mini canvases.  I would like to do more of those.  I also enjoyed making the houses and plan to do more of those as well.

Let me give my friend a plug:  Malea Norris at Cadden Realty!  If you are looking for a good agent in Tucson or Green Valley, Arizona, give her a call!!
