    logo_redroseinspirationSedona AZ (October 8, 2016) – Red Rose Inspiration for Animals has been promoting quality Art and Craft Shows for Animal Rescue since the fall of 2009.   Red Rose is ending the year with the last show on October 15 and 16 from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm and back in the spring 2017.

    The events take place at the parking lot of Redrock Precision Motors and the Olde Sedona Bar and Grill at 1405 W. Highway 89A, Sedona.  Live Music performed by Gina  Machovina.   Free parking and admission.   Not affiliated with any other shows in town and all proceeds from the event go to benefit programs created by Red Rose Inspiration For Animals. 

    There are so many wonderful artists that participate in the Red Rose shows.   You can find everything from handmade soaps, jewelry, paintings, glass art and more.  Two very special artists Red Rose is proud to promote for the last show of the year is June Payne Hart and Mel Mendez.

    20161008_redrose2June Payne Hart an English wildlife artist who painted the family cat with thick green paint at the age of three has blossomed into a talented artist who calls Sedona her home since 1980.  June was the youngest student to be accepted to study art at the Birmingham College of Art in her native England.   Her love for nature and all God’s creatures provided the reason for painting these types of subjects.  Her early paintings were sold in the English and European markets.   She fell in love with all the beauty of the Southwest, and spent hours sketching the desert wildlife.   She has received many awards for her work in native England, Europe and the United States.   Her paintings are often sold prior to completion and hang in private collections worldwide, including the British Royal Family.  Much of Hart’s art work is licensed to companies for greeting cards, cross stitch, puzzles, and collector Plates, fabric design and various other products.

    Baby Boomer Blues

    If you are a Baby Boomer and are reading this, STOP right now and click off the page because it’s one of the most depressing things I have ever written. But if you are in the mood to wallow in darkness and self-pity, read on. Baby Boomers, what happened? Has time so betrayed us, now, that we are but a decade or two away from finishing our stay here on this planet? What happened to those of us who grew our hair, protested against the unjust wars of our time and dominated three decades with the best music ever made and played? Looking back at videos of us at concerts, rocking to the Beatles, Stones, Yes, Prince, The Who, Metallica, Cream, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, Kiss, etc., we look at ourselves and we are fat, old, or bald. Sickness racks us. Body parts are failing, and we are getting closer and closer to our expiration date. We had dreams. We thought we would bring peace to the world.
