time for a road trip!

Woo hoo! I'm happy to announce my 11th Brushstrokes With Impact (tm) "Paint-a-Thon" will be on Friday, October 14th- and it's my FIRST out-of-state event of this nature! Thanks to the Greater Claremont Board of Realtors (R), Ellen Satzow Usery (my step-mother-in-law!) and The Pleasant Street Restaurant, I will be in Claremont, New Hampshire! I will be setting up my easel (and a "pop-up" show of my art) in the vacant space right next to The Pleasant Street Restaurant (84 Pleasant Street); 50% the raffle ticket proceeds will be donated to Realtors Against Homelessness (as will 10% of all art sold, excluding magnets). Time for a road trip! 

I would love to see you on Friday, October 14th, but as you know, you don't have to be there in order to show your support- or win the 8" x 8" painting I will be creating that day! Thanks to the miracle of the internet, past winners have included friends and family members who live in New York, Massachusetts, South Carolina, and Texas! Perhaps YOU will be next...anyway, here are some links!

In case you were wondering, the total we were able to raise together for Curtis Memorial Library was $161.50! Thank you to everyone! Speaking of Curtis Memorial Library, I write a bi-weekly art blog for Curtis Creative Spaces...if you'd like to read my most recent post, here's the link to that:
