Merry Christmas
 Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to all of you, and God Bless You!
This has been an exciting year of painting. I love what I'm doing and I'm looking forward to more painting in 2008. I am in a good place it seems and a lot is happening art wise.
I'm getting geared up for the 20th Street Gallery 2nd annual 50-50-50 show. This means painting 50 paintings in 50 days. 50 artists will be selected to show again this year, but with many more applicants I'm sure. My painting is ready to submit and I'm taking it down to the gallery tomorrow. We'll see if I get to be one of the participants on January 15th. The painting begins on January 30th.
NOW SHOWING: FOLSOM FINEST AT OLD SUGAR MILL
The show is hung at the Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg, California. Not far from Sacramento, this is a wonderful place to see and purchase exceptional art, wine, and enjoy lunch. This show, Folsom's Finest art group, will show for 3 months! I am so blessed to be a part of the group and show. Very good company.
There are 4 of us on show, each with a unique style in different mediums. Julie Bjorgum has a wonderful mosaic of 16 paintings. It all fits together on a 14 feet wide by 30 feet tall brick wall. Each piece may be purchased individually, or you can purchase the entire wall of art! These are very special pieces that Julie has created especially for this show. A cannot miss!
Lisa Deniz has also worked very hard to create one of a kind wall sculptures. Her wall, as with Julie and the rest of us, is 14 feet again, by 30. My favorite part of her display is another can't miss! She has created some very fun faces from iron and glass. Amazing. Just think lips, yes, lips.
Okay, Brandy Hart Ureel has really outdone herself this time and has put together a wonderful display and as with Julie, she put together a mosaic of large paintings. Her concept is born and created with such amazing heart. The colors and figures are worth the 15 minute drive outside of Sacramento.
See what I mean? Well I guess you really have to go to SEE it. Please join us for our first reception at OLD SUGAR MILL. Come early, have lunch and taste the wine as you enjoy the art show. Go to www.oldsugarmill.com for directions and more information. This place is quite a find.
Have a wonderful Christmas and blessed New Year.
