The Artists’ Loft by Natalie Keller
I wanted to know about the Scottsdale Artists’ School so I sent an email to them and Carly Jarvis answered. She is the marketing director and was kind enough to give me a tour and some information about the school. I was very impressed that the school has been active for 30 years!

Dog Daze
By Tootsie or some reason I’m thinking about Spring during the Fall. Perhaps it was the smell of Mom cooking eggplant parmesan. Let me explain. Spring is the time of year when Mom does her veggie plantings in the backyard. She works up the soil in these stock tanks, plants interesting things, and then we all get to watch them grow, which can be a little boring. Each year she has planted one of my favorites, eggplant.

Character actors with costumes were used so he could paint a story that everyone would immediately understand...
