| This year looks to be another busy year for me. I am thrilled to be teaching and especially travel teaching as much as I am. I would love to come to your chapter to teach. Just email me on my availability. Please check out my schedule on my "Schedule and Workshop" web page. I will be scheduling some Saturday painting classes in my home as my schedule allows. Keep checking my schedule, I would love to paint with you! |

| WHAT I PAINTED THIS YEAR This year I painted more florals, some with dewdrops, a Christmas Poinsettia and abstract poppies. Pollen Count was such a hit that I have painted an additional lily painting using the color sanding technique. I named it after the Bluenose Decorative Painters in Nova Scotia where I painted it. The Poinsettia was painted for my 2012 Christmas card and is being taught at Artist Expo in Houston 2013 I continue to love painting the collages and have added a Geisha and Christmas collage to my collection. the Hibiscus Collage will be taught in 2014 for Artist Expo. Please be patient with me as I write the packets for these new projects. |

"Pollen Count" is an update of one of
my first paintings. It used to hang in
my bathroom and has been replaced
with this painting. I revised it a little
and made it a packet . It was also
taught at the National Convention for

IT'S ALL ABOUT NEGATIVE PAINTING
I made my first DVD this year and it has
been very successful. The DVD shows how
to make a colorful under painting,
maintaining a pathway of light and carving
out shapes to create the design. You can
buy it for $22, plus $4 for shipping.

| ART ON A LINE I was thrilled to be number one in sales at the 2011 Art on a Line show of the Northstar Watercolor Society. Good news, I still have lots of paintings left to sell. When I have the time, I am trying to get my paintings imaged and placed on my website. Until then, if you are interested in any of my pieces, please feel free to contact me, I probably have that painting in inventory! I would love to sell it to you. |

| WHAT A WONDERFUL YEAR. I had the pleasure of traveling to Baton Rouge Louisiana, Fort Mill South Carolina, Calgary Canada, Richmond Virginia, Kirkland Washington, Wichita Kansas, Houston Texas, Columbus Ohio, Raleigh North Carolina, Marlborough Massachusetts and Nova Scotia Canada. I had the added pleasure of painting with some very talented women and made some good friends. I was honored to be selected by Artist Expo to teach on a cruise. The enrollment wasn't as good as we had hoped, but it was a wonderful opportunity and I loved working with Tim and Tony at Artist Expo. I fell and broke my right hand the first week of August, and that slowed me down somewhat. It took two surgeries and a lot of rehabilitation, but thanks to everyone's help I was able to continue my teaching schedule at Hoot, Net, Raleigh and Nova Scotia. My hand is much better. The broken hand made my paintings even looser than before, I didn't think that was possible. Thanks to all of you for your understanding and patience with me. In 2014 I will be part of Artist Expo's team of teachers traveling to 5 different cities. Look for the details on my Schedule page. |
