I'm Buying Art

Darrel McPherson and me with my new acquisition


Dear Friends,

The end of another year is here.  I feel blessed to have had good health, loved ones around me, and being able to express myself through my art and photography.

I just came back from the Publication Party at the Escondido Municipal Art Gallery. I was honored to be part of the talented artists in the publication "Summation 2013."  My painting "Lady in Red" inspired 5 creative poets and I feel grateful to see how my art touched them.

I sold two paintings this month, my abstract work is still on exhibit at 57 Degrees, and having my first art booth sale next weekend.

Perhaps what I loved about this month most was that I was able to contribute to the life of another artist. I feel that where we spend our money is where our heart is, and mine is in the arts, thus I have given my time to children, volunteering in the local school teaching art, and have donated my artwork for charitable causes, but what makes me feel most blessed is buying an original piece of artwork from an artist.

"Fall in Mums" is the painting I purchased from Darrel McPherson. My art collection is still rather small, but each piece I add, is as though I bring more joy into my home to stay for good.  Perhaps you don't understand what I'm trying to explain but if you have purchased artwork you enjoy from an artist, you may have an idea of what is like to contribute to something you believe in.

May the holiday season bring to you as many blessings as you give.

Love,
Glad
