Seven Year Blogging Anniversary -- The Luckiest Woman Alive

  

 Some of my art from 2008 -- The painting

in the upper left corner is a Skype Portrait.

Working on Skype Paintings got me on

Oprah the next year.  Blogs can do that.

Wow!  My seven year blogging anniversary is
today.  And what a magical seven years it's been.

Thank you to all of you, who have made me want
to come and write, made me work on painting,
and taught me endless lessons on how to paint,
what to paint, where to show,  what to charge.

Thanks to Flora Doehler who would have had me
blogging 6 months before I began, if I wanted to --
but at the time I didn't get the point!  Funny!
Thanks to Norene Smiley, for having a show,
and blogging about it, so I had to have a blog to
respond. And thanks to Howard Wolinsky for finding
my first Skype sketch, and interviewing me on YouTube.

Today I'm posting a few pieces of the art I produced in
2008, my first year of blogging -- it was a great one --
filled with promise, and my dreams have more than
come true. Thank you.

Thanks to all of my friends, to my collectors, and
galleries for liking my work, and believing in me,
and supporting me in this joyous work.

And thanks to my family for putting up with a
sometimes late night blogger.  What a marvellous
ride.  Hang on, we're going places!  All of us!

Have a celebrating-your-special-days day!
