Focus Artist of the Month

I'm in the Focus! I'm the artist of the month. It's pretty neat to see myself in there, especially because this is the March Strawberry Festival issue. I'll have lots of exposure for sure. I feel there is something I need to do to take advantage of this but not sure what. One of the paintings in the article, the window, is one that I am entering in the Strawberry Festival so I thought that was cool. I took photos of dozens of windows in Italy when Bill and I were there for our 38^th wedding anniversary. I told him if he takes me somewhere exciting for our 40^th, I would do doors. He wasn't as excited as you might think.

People were coming up to me at the Y this morning with copies in hand and I've received two phone calls from old friends who saw the article.

The woman who wrote the story did a nice job of making sense of part of what I said in over two hours! I am so thankful that everything was handled in a way that I'm not ashamed of, or, better than that; I'm proud of the article.

I will put a bad copy of it on here for now and pick up a clean copy at the Focus that can be reproduced for my blog..and copies for all my friends, my family, neighbors, HCC, Skywriters, Women's Club, Big Brothers-Big Sisters, newsletters, all my old classmates, those on my Christmas card lists, all of our foster children, church friends both here and in North Carolina, my knitting group, my painting group, my NC friends and neighbors, Jeni's friends, Bill's friends, employees, past writing groups, frame one for my studio, other bloggers, book group, friend's who have mentioned me to friend's of theirs, Lexi's kennel and groomers, company that might drop by in the next year, others that I can't even think of right now. But I'll have a copy for them. J
