From Me to You ...


After taking a course this summer for my school teaching job, I have discovered a new use for some of the skills I learned. I've made a stylized version of one of my original paintings for your computer desktop. Its a free download - available at the this link.

Scroll down to the middle of the page - ( join my Studio Friends Group while you are on the page, if you are not already a member) - and you'll find the image. The instructions for download are right below the image. I hope you'll enjoy this little decoration and that it will remind you to visit my blog often!

Studio Friends Winner!


Two Sisters, 4x6" watercolor/acrylic on paper

A few weeks ago, I offered a little promotion for my Studio Friends group. The winner of the drawing would get a small floral painting. It was sort of like a commission - they got to pick the flower they wanted me to paint. So, the winner chose - Sunflowers. Here is the small painting done just for the winner! It will soon be on its way.

If you would like to join us as a Studio Friend, go to the box on the right side of this blog and enter your email address! Voila! That's it! This is the way I send out offers and opportunities!
