A re-post from 2019 Lois Main Templeton.
Born in 1928, brought home in a laundry basket
I've been a fan since 2013 when I stayed with cousins Sheryl, David, Masin & Lucy in India

In almost every room of their lovely home was a huge canvas by artist, Lois Main Templeton. It turns out that Lois was one of David's first clients, in his outstanding design business,  |

I promptly ordered her book,
The Studio Book: Finding your way.
In 2008, she collaborated with studio mate and fellow artist Phil O’Maley to publish “Who Makes the Sun Rise?”—a children’s picture book that features Lois’s art.
Sheryl just let me know they are having a Retrospective on Lois Templeton for her 90th birthday, and that they have

Lois Main Templeton: A Reinvented Life
A retrospective of original paintings from the 1980s to present at Ni Source Gallery, Indiana State Museum. March 10 – August 5, 2019
Lois’s pioneering spirit extended beyond her studio walls, the local art scene, and even the field of painting. A passionate writer, Lois has a unique style of journaling that reveals the routine and psyche of a working artist.
She integrates words onto her canvases, blending
forms of creative expression in her own unique way.

For 40 years, Lois has contributed to the city of Indianapolis and the state of Indiana as a painter, teacher and a cultural pioneer with a force-of-nature attitude and the gumption to bring her ideas to life.
As she celebrated her 90th year, Lois continues
to paint and write with vigor and purpose.
Thank you Lois Main Templeton for your work & inspiration. A wonderful 2 minute video with Lois Main Templeton: here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_con

I received a harmless looking letter from Cantada, my home owners association. The Board had recently been informed that the Association's insurance premium for the 2023 policy period increased by $147,463.79! The increase was a result of Cantada community being designated as located in a fire zone with a high fire risk.
Due to a lack of funds for this unanticipated bombshell,owners will have a one-time emergency assessment, $708.00 per unit due by August 1. Surprise!

You did it again! It's a day when I am still in my robe at almost 9:00. That's unusual with remodeling. But I convinced Stan to bring me coffee upstairs. So I am sitting at my laptop and totally enjoyed your creativity and the story about this wonderful artist. Then I watched that beautiful and powerful animal running like the wind: pure joy. So I am sitting here to comment, with a small, tiny, fuzzy poodle warming my lap: just doesn't get much better than that. Thank you.
That's such an interesting collage, Jacki. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Carrol! I think when we aware of the special moments when we j feel the joy that has been pushed aside.
