     Hey all!

     Well, I thought I'd toss out one more note before I hit the road for Texas again. This time I intend to do FOUR shows. I will be in Austin this coming weekend, then on to try and grab a spot at the Main Street Ft. Worth show, followed by Southlake Art In The Square (in the same spot as the last two years). Then lastly, a show I've never attended before; Cottonwood, in Richardson, Tx.

     As it's been for the past year and a half - it is during these art show trips that I can actually get any artwork done! :-) Such as the few new green apple pieces on the right, which I painted in between Florida shows. So I hope to have a few new pieces to show you all in the next few weeks. Possibly even some more in the way of mixed media (see the "just words" typewriter, below/right).

     Also, for the first time since December, I've updated the house-building progress page. http://www.restevensart.com/House/house_home.htm
. We are at the home stretch, with primarily finish electrical and plumbing, and drywall to do. As of the end of March, I can say for the first time that there is indeed a twinkle of light at the end of this long, massive, overwhelming, seemingly never-ending, yet fulfilling tunnel.

     Meanwhile, lots of folks wrote in asking about the typewriter I included in last month's noozleddar. There was some confusion about the scale of it, so I decided to include this photo with Roderick Jr. standing next to it for size reference. Trust me, it looked even BIGGER! I'm very excited about building another one of these.

     Writing of which - I MUST get finished packing up for the Texas trip. I hope to see many of you over the next few weeks.

     One last thing is Happy Birthday to my brother Andy (below)!


     'till next time!
