A Big City Kitty Ditty!
I consider myself to be very rich in family and friends - so I was fortunate to have watched my dear friend Barbara Johansen Newman work on her latest book
Tex & Sugar A Big City Kitty Ditty.
Watching Barb paint in her studio took my breath away! ~ and had inspired me to do my own acrylic paintings!
...but yesterday was Barbara's day - and she graciously shared it with all her friends and family, 145 of them!
Barbara and Rob
Phil Newman and Sharon Holm
dueling artists!
Liz and Eric Dubois
Donna and Bruce Berger
the Tex & Sugar Bar
The Barmen
She's actually not drinking that!
She actually IS drinking that!
Put that down!!
more tacos??
There were SO many children's book writers and illustrators there - I just didn't take too many photos! And, as always, it was a treat to see Barb's parents and Phil's mom... but the very best part for me was being able to spend time with all four of my kids! (The older they get, the harder it is to get all five of us together...)
Ryan, Bethany, Shennen, Kerrin, and Karlene Bersani
Thank You Barb and Phil for such a fabulous time!
Lovely pictures Shennen, and what a great time to spend with all your kids together.
