2016 is off to a great start! 

I'm so glad I don't have the anxiety of moving to a different state hanging over my head this year.  It's nice to get up in the morning here in lovely Inverness, Florida and not have to worry about everything that is involved with relocating to a new place.  And, the greatest thing about living here, is that we spent Christmas with our sons and their families.  I loved seeing our four grandchildren opening their gifts at our home, and next year, we'll have a new addition to share in the fun!

My first Go Big Go Bold workshop of the year was a huge hit.  Imagine 15 ladies slinging paint, talking, laughing and learning new painting techniques as they created bold abstract paintings.  I hope you will join us for my next workshop...we still have a few seats left at ArtTrysts Studio in Clearwater, FL, April 25 - 27. 

I'm also planning a workshop for October to held at Ft. Cooper State Park in Inverness, FL.  I hope you will join me in this beautiful, serene location surrounded by nature and wildlife. Inverness is a great little city in Florida's Nature Coast.  Downtown is only a couple of miles from Ft. Cooper State Park.  Restaurants, cafes and shops surround the quaint City Hall and a very nice, inexpensive hotel is just down the street from Ft. Cooper.  You can't ask for a better combination!

Finally, I decided to try something I've never done before...outdoor art festivals!  I purchased a tent, panels and everything I'll need to do a few shows here in Florida.  I'll keep you posted on this new venture!

Thank you for your continued support and for wonderful comments about my work!
