Hello out there all you Valentines!














So, on this day after Valentine's Day, look what I got for breakfast this morning! Chuck fixed a "vegetable bread-boat omelet!" It was delicious! This is one of his concoctions. He first carves out the bread, creating the "boat" and cooks it in the oven for a while. Then he adds egg to his vegetable mixture (and they are fresh vegetables) which he has already prepared. It is comprised of fresh asparagus, black beans, onions, broccoli, red bell peppers, carrots, zucchini, and then cheese is added on the top. He then fills the " bread-boat" with the mixture and finishes cooking it in the oven. It is simply delicious! I'm am lucky that he is such a good cook . . . and he likes to cook!

I hope all of you had a very Happy Valentine's Day. We had a nice day. I received a beautiful free-standing crystal butterfly from Chuck and I gave him a very nice piece by glass artist Susan Frisbee.

My printer broke on Friday night, and we went out to find another one. We picked one out, but it was special order so I won't get it until sometime during the week. In the meantime, Chuck came home and fixed my printer. So, he will take it, and I will get the new one! I'm excited.

My Mom came over this weekend and we played Hearts. It was a lot of fun. Both Mom and Chuck win most of the time. (I win more on the computer game of Hearts than I do with real cards)!

Have a good week! 'Til later.

What a Difference a Few Days Make!



People! It is beautiful here today! Here is the walkway leading from the porch off of my studio.









This is a photo I made when I walked down in the woods.


 








And, last but by no means least, here is one of "my trusty sidekicks," Bump, checking out a variety of sights and sounds!

Wow, I love a day like this! Florida woods are something special. Although most of the trees (beech, water oak, black cherry, hickory) have lost their leaves, there are a few "greenies" that stay throughout the year like the Magnolias and the little Palms.


Well, I'm going to enjoy the rest of this day. Have a good evening and a good day tomorrow, everyone!

Til later,

Is it cold enough for you!?

"Nap Time"
watercolor

Yikes! 14 degrees Wednesday night and 16 degrees last night! Welcome to the Sunshine State!
However, no fear, the weatherman has promised that it will be in the 70's this weekend. The kitties are taking naps right now.

It has been a busy week! I had also planned to take some photos of the exhibit at the Artport Gallery and post one here and on my website (www.terriecorbettglass.com), but I haven't been able to get back out there since the opening reception. Do drop by if you are flying in or out of Tallahassee. There are 18 of us in this exhibit. There is a wide variety both in materials, concept and execution.

For those that may be in Tallahassee right now, there is a very good exhibition at the LeMoyne Center for the Visual Arts. Tonight is First Friday Gallery Hop so it will be opened later than usual. You will definitely enjoy it. It is called "4" and the work of the four artists (plus one in the Hoover Gallery) is well worth a visit! I have been the artists representative on the Board at LeMoyne now for close to a year. It has been a pleasure working with the staff and other board members. Those '4' artists in the current exhibit are: Mariann Kearsley, Jessie Lovano-Kerr, Valerie Goodwin and Denise Choppin.

I recently took some of my newer paintings (in kiln-fired glass) to Signature Gallery. Please stop by and take a look!

Well, stay warm, stay happy, Have a good weekend, everyone!

'Til later
