SPECIAL OFFER!

Another exciting day! I finally was accepted into 3 California Watercolor National Shows (this is my 3rd year) and so I received my "Signature" membership today at the reception. The show is at the Officer's Club at the Presidio in San Francisco. What a gorgeous venue and the exhibition space is fantastic. Congratulations to all who put this impressive show together. Maggie Metcalf has been working many, many long hours as co-chairperson along with Marilyn Miller and they can be very proud of what they have done. I did work on a painting for a few hours today, but mostly I was having a good time at the show. Here I am in front of one of the "Verns" with my husband, Jerry.

When I returned home there was a message on the machine that one of the "Nick and Guitar" series sold today at the Gallery Concord! I was very excited but also sad to see it leave the "nest". I get attached to most of my paintings but the walls are full and my studio is filling up, so it is good to have it go to a new home.

Nancy e-mailed me the directions for making a slide show. I tried it out and it worked!! Hurrah! So now we need more of you to send in what you have been working on regarding the challenge so I can put it into a slide show. I think I will hold all the entries and do a weekly slide show. In order to have more entries, we need to have more participants so....HERE IS THE SPECIAL OFFER:

If you have 5 of your artist friends register on my blog, I will send you a pen and ink contour drawing. They can be anywhere in the world! As you know, a registered person just gets an e-mail letting them know when I do a new post. I never have any contact with them unless they e-mail me. The new people registered can then get a drawing by getting 5 other new people, etc. etc.
