Finally the Newsletter!

Finally...There has been major problems with the blog, but they are working on it. I see there are still a few glitches. Thank you for all the emails wondering where the newsletter was!

Summer News
I was asked to be the offical oil painting teacher at the Capitol Ex
( Klondike Days to us oldies). My sponsor was Kim at Paint Spot who did a fantastic job . Between the two of us, and my wonderful volunteer students we inspired many to 'pick up the brush'. That's my very supportive hubby( the one in the shirt!), Ed, making sure everything is going right!






Capitol Ex First Annual Art Walk
Barb Girouard, and Jeannette Sommers , members of the Emerging Artist Group joined me in displaying our art to the many people in the agricom at Capitol Ex. This was the first year and with help from Stephen Liley many of the bugs were ironed out. Congrats to Barb for selling her painting of birds.

Painting Tip: Have you seen the new paint pushers? They look like short handled brushes but have different shaped pieces of soft plastic on the ends that let you sqeegee off run away paint! See Lee at Paint Spot on High Street to reserve yours now!
