Here is the family with Auntie Christie and Jeannie from Las Vegas and James Coleman the night before the show.  We got to play a bit before the day of the show.  The night before, James and I had a show down in Santa Barbara. 
Here is the chef at Fire and Ice restaurant doing his spatula flips.  Nice place where you pick your food and they cook it in front of you while doing parlor tricks.  One tip though, tell them you want medium rare before they start the show!
Here auntie Jeannie poses with Rose.  She has know Rose since she was born and loves to see her grow.
The next day Rose goes rock climbing.  What a joy!
Later at the show, I pose with the clients of the new limited edition of "Ruby Skies Emerald Bay".  They got the number one in the edition.  It pays to be at the show when a piece is released.
Here the clients pose with their new original of a Lake Tahoe sunset.  They got to watch their painting being made.  I also got to film the process which will be aired in a future episode of Art Made Easy.
Here is a treat.  I haven't seen Michelle Duncan, now Michelle Smith, since high school 21 years ago.  Back then I gave her a silkscreen from art class and told her to hold on to it in case I get famous. I wonder if she still has it?  Anyways it was a pleasant surprise seeing her after all those years.
After the show we head to a steakhouse for dinner.  A habitual ritual for the artists.
After dinner was desert.   Some of the guys skipped dessert and went right for the czech, ha ha ha, inside joke.
Bedtime for the little ladies.  What a long day it has been. There are more long days ahead!
Here Rose takes a picture of artists David Wight and James Coleman while speaking to  her mommy.  Only 2 years and 10 months old and she is a paparazzi!
After the show we go to the top of Harrah's for a buffet dinner.  A must for any body who loves to dine with a view.  Auntie Christie give a peace sign.
After the shows we pack up and head for Washington D.C.  Here is Sonja taking a small break between the car ride and the airport.  Oh the life of a Gypsy!

Thanks for checking in!
