…are due to Suzanne Ellis, who just won the Grand Prize in the 2007 Paint America Top 100. Suzanne attended one of my summer workshops a few years ago, and her winning painting was of (drumroll, please!) Daisy the badger - one of Triple D’s animal models! Check it out at www.paintamerica.org. Suzanne also had a piece juried into the Mini Top 50.

Waytago girl!!

P.S. Also in the category of “Cool Stuff”, an article about Andrew Denman on createbetterpaintings.com is very worthwhile (he’s listed at the top left of the page). I’ve shared exhibition space with Andrew at Birds in Art and at Western Visions; he is an extremely nice guy with a beautiful, original interpretation of the world. His technique is unusual and the article does a good job of covering it.

    Sandi - how COOL! This blog is beginning as I’d hoped it would - sort of an art cafe!
