Many thanks to those who purchased scarves when I listed them a few days ago. They will be in later this week and I will get them to you right away. There are a few left…sunflowers and abstract landscape. I am considering ordering more and have made some in new designs.
Let me know if you like the new designs. I especially like the local designs…the Gazebo, Main Street and Mountain Sunset. To see what is currently available for purchase click here.

Nine years ago, a childhood friend asked me to paint her sweet dog wearing Doggles. Click here to see it. Last month she again asked me to paint for her. She had this lovely photo of her sweet dog, Ella, laying in the yard watching the sunrise just a few days before she passed. It was such a sweet image. This is the painting that I am sending off to her today. I texted her the photo of the painting and she loved it! 🙂

About a month ago we share a link to purchase some scarves based on my art and they sold out fast. Many thanks for that! We ordered more and they should arrive on Tuesday of this week so we are putting the links back up to purchase. We only have a few of each design so if you are interested please “scarf them up” fast. (Pun intended. LOL) Seriously, we would appreciate any support you can give us on these. They really are lovely, large cotton scarves. If you choose the shipping option we will get them out in the mail to you just as soon as they arrive. And again, thanks for your continued support.

Many thanks to my sweet friend, Dot, who commissioned me to create a painting of her home. It’s a lovely place, especially in the spring.

Just a reminder that there are many listings of art on our Square Store as well as gift certificates that you can purchase to help support this small business. We are still waiting to hear if there will be more small business funding approved. We didn’t get anything in the first round. It’s tough right now…waiting to see if we even get any help at all. So if you have enjoyed a class ever at The Studio we hope you will consider purchasing a gift certificate that you can use as soon as we begin offering classes and paint parties again….soon we hope. Thanks for your support.

When we say we want to reopen our businesses to get the economy moving again please don’t respond that we don’t need to get the Stock Market going to make the rich richer. It’s not about the Stock Market. I don’t have any money in the Stock Market. I have money in a small business on Main Street in a small town in Virginia. I have money in my business. I have money in my house…that I would like to be able to keep. Businesses like mine are labeled as “non-essential” but what could be more essential than trying to make a living and feed our families and pay our bills. If we don’t reopen soon I will lose that business I have worked so hard to build. It appears that the SBA Small Business Loans and CAREs act moneys are not going to make it down to a little business like mine. It’s sad that those of us who are self-employed or have one or two employees and need the help the most are the ones who are going to suffer in this. So when we reach out and say please, let us open as soon as possible….find a safe way to do it, don’t respond that by asking to reopen the economy we want to make the rich richer. We just want to make a living!
