Happy Groundhog Day!
And just like the movie, here we go again. Next week I'll be having what I hope will be my last surgery for a very long time...third one in the last 15 months...ugh! I will have my second knee replacement on the 10th and will be out of the studio for a few weeks. Hubby Don was a great nurse last time around, and he will be on call for appointments at the gallery until I'm able to get back to regular hours. This also means my Oil Painting for Beginners class scheduled for March 11th and 12th will be postponed until May 6th and 7th. My sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. I'm looking forward to being back soon, pain free and ready to paint my heart out!
The painting above, "Healing Waters", is a small 5x7" gouache "postcard", available by auction through tonight, Thursday Feb. 2nd, at 8pm PST. It is part of an annual fundraiser for the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association. Proceeds benefit LPAPA's programs and artists. There are over 140 paintings available and the bidding starts at just $50! This is a small cropped version of the oil painting I did last year while I was undergoing radiation treatments for breast cancer. Click HERE to bid on my piece.
Thanks so much for your love, prayers and support...I'll be in touch again next month to update you on my progress and on the gallery hours. Until then, take care!
