Happy 2024! It's been awhile since I've written a Blog and this one is about my birthday.

My mom held her contractions on July 4th because her doctor was not available and she went to a barbecue. The next morning I popped out and my dad caught me. It's a longer story than that but I like it this way. I celebrate my birthday for the whole month and I start that by usually creating a painting. This year I am going to create an art show. 50/50 will be held on July 5th from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at The Gather on Locust Street in Walnut Creek. I am currently trying to decide which of my 50 paintings to bring. Since I've last written, 3 years ago at least.. I have created more than 150 pieces and it's kind of a tough decision but I am planning on going with a lot of my newest pieces from this year. Everything this year has been inspired either by my heritage, Country Flowers, my family and the photo captures by my friend Linda True a great San Francisco artist.

Another dilemma I'm having, at Chino has a woman as a daily challenge sometimes is what to wear! I have started a new clothing line on Le Gaaleriste.com https://www.legaleriste.com/irene.bee.kain.artists. visit my store Here
