I just assembled new mobile. The one I made last year was pretty much destroyed by strong winds. This one will probably have the same life span. It is made from very light wind spinners I picked up at dollar store, some casters from Harbor Freight, aluminum rods and collars I ordered form McMaster-Carr.

I entered three of my paintings in Tukwila Art Commission Art Show last Saturday. It was really nice show with a quite a few paintings i liked. No prize for me or anybody from my painting group this time.  It was really tough competition and I enjoyed seeing what other artists are working on.  This was my first show and now I have a better idea what to expect.

Other news is that my paintings will be showcased on the Art Wall in Tukwila Community Center during June and July. Here is most my painting group at he Art Show:

Finally finished new boxes for raised garden. That was a lot of soil to transfer back and forth. Inside of the boxes is lined with landscaping fabric to prevent roots from surrounding trees to spread in. Each box got 4″ layer of compost mixed in. I had just enough in my compost bins to do that.
