Pet Portrait Demonstration at the Library
Last week I was asked to present a demonstration of a pet portrait at Samuel Public Library Summer Reading program. Their theme this summer is pets so my work fit in nicely. It was fun to paint the demo piece while talking about being a full-time artist. I really enjoy doing this type of presentation.

I came to Nimrod Hall for a weekend workshop to try something new. Collage with paper and paint. What an experience. Our instructor was Susannah Haddad. Her knowledge of the subject and generosity with it made us all feel like we could do it. I am thrilled to learn from her.
This was my first attempt at paper and paint. I call it “Checking the Pee Mail”.

Art on Display
I got a nice surprise this week when I got an email with photos from a couple who collects my art. They live in Maryland but have been working on setting up their retirement home in Georgia in anticipation of retiring soon. I have enjoyed visiting with them when they come out to the Valley and hearing their plans.
I love that they collect original art for their homes. They have purchased several of my paintings over the last few years.
Here are some photos showing how they have displayed my paintings. Thanks so much for sharing these with me. It made my day.
