HAPPY NEW YEAR!

There’s just nothing like the promise of a brand new year and I can feel it in my gut. 2011 is going to be OUTRAGEOUS!

I got a big kick last week out of an email from Jeanne Radysh-Oury, my former fashion illustration instructor. It’s been many, many years since we last spoke to one another but the tremendous capabilities of the internet allowed me, in spite of misspelling her first name and the addition of a new last name, to actually find her. Isn’t that amazing? The internet is FAB-ulous!

I made certain that she was on the mailing list for the announcement of FASHION + ART. After all, if it wasn’t for her there probably wouldn’t be a FASHION + ART and who knows what I’d be doing with myself today. But her response last week, with kudos, encouragement, and the promise to continue watching my work online means so much to me. It also makes me just a wee bit nervous. But it’s cool. She’ll be tickled to know that I’ve kept my Pencils. And framed them.

In the meantime, hubby and I are slaving away on the gallery website. But I’ve got to warn you—there’s been a few changes. Of course they’re all for the better and I’m certain you will be very happy with the results so please stay tuned. This month, January, will see the launch of FASHION + ART so help me…
