Hello Everyone, I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. It's hard to believe the summer is already in full swing. I'm sorry if I have been a little scarce since the award dinner, but I promised myself after the dinner I would focus on some things I have neglected while I was busy making the Angels and helping with the dinner. Most importantly my health. If I don't drop some weight by my next doctor visit I think my doctor is going to to give me a flying elbow. So I have been riding my bicycle, walking, or going to the gym. I try to make sure I do one of these things everyday. So far I have been pretty successful and I'm proud to say I have shed over ten pounds. I used to be a runner in the 90's and pretty loyal to the gym in the following years all the way up to 2007, and then metal art happened. Since then I really haven't focused on anything but art. I must say it feels so good to be back out on the bicycle path in Massapequa. I hope all of you take a little time to treat yourselves to some exercise. You never know where your next inspiration may come from. There is a lot of good healthy thinking time when your out walking. I think the Artists Circle is off to a good start this year with a wonderful evening at the award dinner and then the great success of the Spotlight Shows. I must say I have enjoyed all of them so far and look forward to the next one. I hope you all take the time to come down to the gallery and see these Spotlight shows for yourselves. Trust me you will not be disappointed. It's so great to see and speak to other artists who are proud and enthusiastic. I really think this is a great experience. Thank you all for this opportunity, John Dunlop (516) 476-0457
