JAPAN - There IS something we can do.

I am a member of Artistes de Studio, an online gathering for artists doing Studio work. Jennifer Evenhus, creator of Artistes de Studio recently sent out this call- to give us a small way to help the people of Japan.

Greetings Artistes de Studio,
The Daily PaintWorks website has offered The Help Japan Painting Challenge.
The premise is simple: create a painting, post it for auction.
When it sells, donate the full amount of the sale (minus the shipping/tax) to an agency that is helping the people of Japan.
There is a list on that site. To learn more click here: Help Japan Painting Challenge
See other's paintings and click on any to see more information.
Be sure to read carefully how it works........... it's up to the artist to donate the proceeds.
Over 5,000.00 has already been donated via sales!
So pour your heart out . . . help Japan.
Thank You! Jennifer Evenhus, Artistes de Studio creator

Segil Fine Art Holiday Small Works Show

I was honored to have this piece "The Plug" juried into the Segil Fine Art 2010 Holiday Small Works Show in Southern California that opened last weekend. I was not able to attend but heard from a reliable source (my Mom) that it was an excellent show and a good party. This show will hang until the end of December and worth seeing if you are in the Southern California area. The Segil Gallery is not the only great gallery tucked away in the foothills community of Monrovia but part of a picturesque and fashionable shopping destination; a great place for Christmas shopping, and don't forget to buy art. Miniatures make great stocking stuffers for that person on your list that has everything.
