*****************************
I hate to have to have to talk business...but my artist friends have told me I must... I am happy if you share my paintings or put them on your pinterest, or on your blog...that is ALL awesome (just link it back) , but please don't copy it and make prints please. this is how I make my living. I try to make my work accessible and we can always work something out. I love putting my work here for all to see and I love all of your support.
Thanks
now lets party!!!
Best of luck! Still get a ton of compliments on my Beaufort portrait! :)

Congratulations and enjoy your opening! You are so very talented, I just love your style and color choices! It will be a wonderful night!
ReplyDeleteWell, aren't you becoming known in the blog world?! Congrats on being featured on Emily A. Clark's blog this morning! There are only a handful of blogs that I regularly read and House of Turquoise and Emily A. Clark happen to be 2 of the 5 so to me you're pretty famous :) (not to mention all the hits from YHL you mentioned a little while back,which I don't read, but understand gets very heavy traffic) How exciting for you! Looking forward to tonight!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim, I can;t wait to meet you in person tonight!

Lesli! I just found you through Emily Clark and am so happy I did. I am from No. VA and am in C'ville to visit the UVA Medical Ctr twice monthly and am so in love with that area - its just divine. And my favorite store of life happens to be there (and George!). I am just loving your home. From the Stray Dog pink lamp to those fabulous alpaca (right animal?) pics in your living room. It's divine. So nice to meet you.
