A New Goal! More blog followers needed--can you help?

Why don't I have more "followers" on my blog? I have 45 now. I'd like to have 100 by the end of December 2014. Can you help me? Just go to my blog, go down the right hand column until it says "Join Now" and click on that. Once you join, you'll get notifications whenever I do a new post and you can read it or not, as you wish.

Here's a photo of the gallery, taken by my artist friend Paul Parichan, from a slightly "elevated" view. . . .

Autumnal October newsletter. . . .

I finished my October newsletter yesterday and it has a lot of current news in it so I'd like to post it here for your review in case you haven't received in via email or seen it on Facebook. Let's see if this works:

If you click on the link, you'll be taken to the newsletter. Hopefully, I'll soon be able to figure out how to create an archive of past newsletters. Maybe I'll even try that now!

One of my favorite shows of the year!

Tonight is the opening reception for "Celebrate Agriculture", a yearly show sponsored by the Madera Arts Council. It is a unique show in many ways--limited to a theme that's always the same, and judged in agricultural categories but not by media. It's usually a spectacular show and I'm sure it will be no different this year. Come out and see it, but plan to visit more than once because you need time and space to take it all in. I was notified that I'm getting an award so I'll find out tonight which of my paintings was successful!
