The 2 winners from my "guest sign in" drawings have had a chance to stop by my studio and select their free giclées.
Suzy Erickson chose the "Eagle's View of Verde Valley". (Her husband's interest in trains had a little influence there!)
Juana and Jerry Snow chose "Cliff Palace at Mesa Verde", where Jerry has guided many tours!
It was fun for me to be able to offer these prizes as a way of thanking my guests for participating in Flagstaff Open Studios. (My husband, John, helped me with the drawing process so it was all quite "scientific"!) Well that wraps up another successful year for Open Studios, but there are still more opportunities for you to check out my watercolors and sign up for door prizes...
September 29th and 30th is the Taste of Cave Creek Fine Art Exhibit at Stagecoach Village, Cave Creek, AZ, 4 pm to 10 pm. In addition to the Sonoran Art League art exhibit and sale, there are food and wine/beer/tequila tastings, cooking demos, live music and even hot air balloon launches! Look for me inside the exhibit hall at booth #17. For more information, you can visit the website www.CaveCreekChamber.org or call 480 488 6612.
More later on the Holiday Art Show, November 6th - this time in Flagstaff!
Oops! Almost forgot that my solo show continues at the Flagstaff Arboretum through September 30th. I was able to add a couple of new little watercolors to round out the show titled "Northland Highlights in Watercolor". What a treat to be able to show so many of my Northland Wayside paintings at the Arboretum!
The leaves are turning up north! Happy Fall!

This is a tiny little easel with an original watercolor - perfect for that special someone - maybe you? Sunflowers are for all seasons, but there are also other images to choose from. And I still have some of the little boxes with original art for your shelf, desk or table top.
Here is a sampling of my new Holiday Decorations - all original watercolors on a tiny canvas ready to hang on your tree or from a special hanger of your choosing! Yes, they are finished with a glossy varnish to reflect the sparkle of your lights and protect them from moisture -maybe snowflakes?
You are invited to Flagstaff Open Studios on August 28 and 29, 10 am t0 5 pm! My studio is #37 in the brochure and located at 1401 N. 4th St. #202 - follow the signs and yellow balloons. I will have brochures and maps to all the studios participating. It's a free event and lots of fun - a chance to see us in our studios and learn about lots of different art forms. No, my arm is not still in a sling - that was last year! I have had a chance to catch up on my painting and have new paintings and prints and some very unique little watercolor ornaments - perfect for your holiday decorations! I wish I had a whole basket full, but I'm painting more as I post this note. Come early and you will have several to choose from! As always, there will be a drawing each day from my "guest sign in" for a little print of your choice! See you then!
I have scheduled a workshop for September 23, 2010 at the Flagstaff Aquaplex. We will have the entire day to explore painting a floral landscape. So plan to bring your supplies and paint with me - you can choose either a floral or landscape composition if you don't wish to combine them. Check out the details at http://tinyurl.com/sept23class and register online or give me a call at 602 918 0234 (cell). Space is limited - must be registered by Sept. 13th!
How exciting! Clair Anna Rose interviewed me regarding my July show at Brandy's and wrote a wonderful article in the July 2010 issue of the Noise. The interview appears in her column It's the Arts. Zoom in on the above copy to read it or look for the free newspaper in many locations in Northern AZ towns.
