News From The Easel: Did You Get It?

Issue #1: News From the Easel, read more

If something like what's to the right arrived in your mailbox today, you are currently on my email list for art news and events. Yea! Thank you! If you didn't get it, want to read it or subscribe to my monthly (or so) art news, go here.

Big, Big Oops
A few weeks ago, inadvertently, my finger must have hit delete on the email mailing list I've been gathering for years -- from all of you who asked to be kept informed of art news, classes, etc. I lost you! I want you back.

To get back on the list, either subscribe via my web site or send me an email to tell me you'd like to be added. Thank you.

What's in This Issue
Since it's the first, I've included more than I plan to in the future. But you'll see info on:

• My August stay at the Torpedo Factory (Reception is tomorrow night, Thursday, August 9, 6-9pm, 105 N. Union Street, Alexandria, VA)
• News on "Honey Bunny" and "The Poker Club"
• Recent paintings
• Lou and Carolyn Brown's Portrait Visit
• "The Brogue Bar" Birthday Surprise

In later issues, expect just one major art-related story exclusive to the newsletter.

I hope to see you in Studio #333 tomorrow ... or sometime soon. Lots planned. I enjoyed visits on Monday from studiomate Jennifer Duncan, Great Falls Studios artist Coty Dickson and fellow Art League artist Vicki Blum ... among all the day's other guests. They approved and it was great to see them!
