Hello Dear Art Lover GIVEAWAY
Before I announce my first GIVEAWAY, I would like to acknowledge that a few of you may have been offended by my seeming disregard for the current crisis that we are all in. Of course it is not my intention to appear to be uncaring or dismissive. I know that we all process things in our own time and own ways. The way I deal with stress is to get myself super busy, make lists and try to find any silver lining I can. I also find humour is helpful to me and to a lot of people. For many years I had the privilege of working with cancer patients, and I found that many people want a place to have some lightness and humour in addition to the compassion. Everyone was fearful just as they are now. Please look to me to help you shift the focus from fear to hope. And perhaps a laugh or two.
So..in the spirit of full disclosure, I will share what I am doing to get me through this new situation. I find trying to stick with a schedule, getting dressed, doing online exercises with my fabulous Sheri, and learning new things is what helps me. I must confess that Netflix also plays a role. I would love to know what you find helpful. Please share your coping strategies.
Keep your eyes open for the debut of my personal art tutorials on You tube. Another learning curve coming up.
And now....the GIVEAWAY....once a month, I am going to do a GIVEAWAY. This month it is a set of my coasters made from photos of some of my creations. Retail value is $35.00!! This month I will draw one person from my contact list. You don't have to lift a finger! If you do wish to purchase a set or two of coasters, check out my website. They are being added to the Gallery section of my website, so please check it out.
Because we can't go to any galleries, I thought I would share a link with you. This one is with David Hockney, the famous British artist. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-52109901
The painting I attach is 'Grandma Goes on an Adventure' 30 x 24, acrylic on canvas. Man, would I ever like to go on one now!!! Especially with the two wonderful grandsons, Fox and Theo. We are missing the first signs of spring and mud in the ravine.
The poster is from a dear artist friend Kim Atkins. She is an accomplished photographer and paints in oils and watercolour.
As always, I invite your response. If I can be of any assistance in any way, art wise or other, please do ask.
Rock on...we're going to beat this thing together!
YOUR HOME YOUR STYLE MY ART
