This cute little big-footed bugger was just selected by a Charter Patron who renewed her patron membership by selecting a new art piece for her collection.  She’ll be entered into a special drawing for Patrons later this month and will always get the “inside scoop” about new art and projects before the rest of the world (that’s the Patron…not the chick).

My dentist is not only exceptional…she is my cousin AND the latest winner of a drawing for Charter Patron Place Members!!  She’s still trying to pick out her Work on Paper, a gift from me.  Here are two lovely horse pieces she purchased recently:

Ok.  This is fun.  I have a jar with slips of paper holding the names of each Patron Place member (someday I hope it is a very very BIG jar!)  I sit on the floor, empty the slips of paper into a big crystal singing bowl, play a chime on the bowl while I close my eyes and think about all of you who have collected my work and become my patrons…

And then I pull out a name.

Right there in my hand is the name of a person who supports my art, my lifestyle, me.  I am full of gratitude.  Here’s the fun part:  Now I get to give back.  A present.  Their choice of an original work on paper.  Wahoo!

My little brother was the lucky winner this time.

“Mattie”

Howard chose this little gal.  “Mattie” will be shipping off to Minnesota.

Thank-you Patrons and thank-you little bro!  Your support means much to me!
