Dear friends and visitors,

I am very pleased to report that these newer paintings of mine have been very well received lately! I put four of them in a show this past weekend and sold two! Not only that, I received a commission to do three more! I have been selling the wool bags and getting steady commissions from that, as well.

The two that sold are Green Forest and Birch 2. The two that are still available, now framed in a beautiful cherry wood, are Shadows and Ocean in Black. The price for each of those is $160.00 and $100.00, respectively. If you are interested in making a purchase, let me know ASAP. I am happy to ship to you, insured, of course.

Soon, I will be creating my first ever Holiday card. A s soon as it is complete, I'll post it here!

Don't forget to visit my website. It's been updated recently with new information. I have not posted any classes yet but am working on a few ides for the winter and spring. I originally thought I'd cease to teach for the winter. After many requests to offer something, I am reconsidering my decision. Stay tuned for details!

Also, I have a new fundraising partnership to announce. I have partnered with the Exeter Historical Society to offer Home & Garden Portraits. For any member who commissions a work from me, 15% of the commission goes to the historical society! Two other organizations are considering the same program, Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary and the Historical Society of Old Newbury. If you are a member of any of these three groups, consider a Home & Garden Portrait for yourself or as a gift for someone special. My website has a description of my approach to Home & Garden Portraits as well as samples in my portfolio. If you have any questions about my work, don't hesitate to contact me.

Happy Thanksgiving to all! I'm going hiking and plan to eat my dinner on the summit of Mount Kearsarge with my daughter, husband and dog. I hope your day is most enjoyable.

Kindly,
Sandy

Hello all! I have three new images to post. I was at the Ipswich River Watershed Association's property in Ipswich this past Saturday. Nine people showed up to sketch that day...what a terrific turn out! It was amazing to see a few folks who I haven't seen in years, literally. Thanks to all of you who were there. I think these sketching outings are catching on. I'm looking for ideas on locations for January and February. Send any thoughts my way, please.
