Looking back and looking ahead!


I think its always good to look back just a little bit at the end of an endeavor, or in this case, a year. 
Its been quite a year here.   I've had many things to demand my attention:  work as a public school teacher, family -  with a son getting married and now, a daughter engaged and planning a wedding,  my own continuing education (15 graduate hours in the past year), and then, just the regular demands of life.  But, through it all, I've managed to continue painting and blogging.  The images above show some of my work that is now a part of other households.   
Selling is always an encouragement - and it gives some sense of hope about our difficult economy. 

So, the new year begins!   I will be continuing my painting and posting. 
I'm always looking to increase my email list - its FREE and I send only 1 or 2 emails a month, so you will not be inundated.  I never share your address, either!   If you already are on my list, please inform your friends, its always great to get to know those who love art!   

Please keep in touch this year!
And we shall see what this new year brings.

Happy New Year with a special offer!

A new year has begun! Happy 2013!
May it be a wonderful year!
See special offer below

 A brief look back.... A year ago ~ January 2012 ~ this was new from my easel. 
Glade, 6x8" Oil Pastel on Paper
©2012, Helen Read
Ready to mat and frame
$25.00 + shipping



Secret Path, 8x10" Acrylic on canvas
©2012, Helen Read

These 2 are still available, though many others painted in January and through the year of 2012 have been sent to their new homes.   

SPECIAL OFFER! 
(Please note:  I am only able to extend this special offer on domestic shipping, as international shipping makes this offer prohibitive.  For my international friends, I will refund the amount of domestic shipping to you.)

Purchase either one of these 2 during the first week of January 2013, and I will refund the shipping charges!   PayPal will add the charge on as it is programmed to do - but I will refund the shipping charge to you before I send it!
