Congratulations to Bette Hogg for winning a ribbon in the Orchid Show this year! She painted her entry at home and did a fantastic job. I will try to convince her to hang her winning entry in the gallery for all of us to see. WAY TO GO BETTE!!!

Heather Dundas is featured on the www.icangarden.com website.
Her inspiration for her painting is a photo from this website. Heather obtained permission and her 'painting in progress' is features under pix, painting in progress. Great Website, too! WELL DONE HEATHER!

MONA LISA CLUB MEETING this SAt March 7th. IF you can`t make it and would like a mini critique, please bring it to class and I will have a look.

Northwest Originals is the gallery hosted at Capitol Ex this summer. Are you interested in showing??? This is a great opportunity and the venue has been upgraded significantly. It is now at the entrance to SIP, the most popular exhibit in Hall A. Only original artwork will be hung, and there is a fee of $100 and 30% commission.....well worth it for the exposure. Included are tickets to the private chairmans opening and you can invite your clients to the Northwest Originals Brunch; PLUS free gate entrance and you don't have to stay and babysit your painting!!Both are stellar events, great decor, divine food, fantastic networking. Make sure your best work will be there. Contact Stephen at sliley@northlands.com . Make sure you request the SIP Gallery.

There may be an opportunity to paint at the Capitol Ex as part of the "entertainment". Would you be willing to join me ? More details later...
