Artists, community leaders and local heroes were invited to produce a heart-themed piece of art or embellish a basic valentine with their own interpretations.

Can You Teach an Old Dog New Tricks?
| Over one month had passed since retiring from my day job of 36 years.  After hosting a holiday studio show, preparing for Christmas, participating in a Kwanzaa show at the Crocker Art Museum, hosting a party on New Years Day, and thoroughly reorganizing my closet, it was time to focus on doing something different for the Annual Valley Sculpture Artists competition.
As detailed in several previous blogs, working with recycled metal has become one of my latest manias (Metal Mania, Bliss in the Studio, A Day in the Metal Shop). But I never tried applying colored patinas to the metal ... until now.
My latest blog entry describes the latest chapter in my search for artistic exploration. Can you teach an old dog new tricks? READ HERE
