THE ART ENTHUSIAST
July 13, 2010

It has been a great first half of 2010. The beginner's painting classes at Michaels have been a blast and I have loved working with those of you who have participated.

BIANNUAL DRAWING, NUMBER 1
As a thank you, I offered to hold a drawing of all my students and award one lucky winner an original 4x4 painting, created be me! That lucky person turned out to be Kristen Sekulich, who was actually part of my very first class at Michaels. Congratulations, Kristen! She is now the owner of "Magnolia C"

CURRENTLY SHOWING:
• 13 new works (and prints of the work) are being displayed in the front east window at Parklane Gallery in Kirkland. The show is entitled "An Appreciation of Life" and deals with the joys of childhood. You can see photos of all the pieces and some information about the show by clicking here. 5% of all artist proceeds will go to Childhaven. The show will be in the gallery through August 1st. If you want to stop by and see me painting another painting for the series (a pic of kids at bat in t-ball) come by July 25th between 11 and 3pm!
• "Smitty's Marina" is at the Mercer Island Community Center at Mercer View as part of the EAFA (Eastide Association of Fine Art) Juried Member Show. The piece took home second place in the show! The show will remain at the Community Center until July 30th.
• I have work showing continuously at Starbuck's in Lynnwood: 4028 196th Street SW
As part of the Edmonds Artwalk, I will have work in the Fabric of Life store in downtown Edmonds on Thursday August 19th.
