I am very lucky to have such good friends to make life a little more interesting, including my husband. I have friends that share my love for the outdoors and for cooking and reading about it, too! My Husband gives me continued support (for the most part) and I cherish our relationship. I also can't forget the customers and collectors of my artwork who have also become friends over the years - their support means so much to me! And then I have my artist friends, one in particular (Candace) means a lot to me. Even though we don't get together to often as my life is so crazy, I really cherish our visits in which we just talk ART! We share tips, show prospectus info, and positive thoughts. Candace is a graduate of the Chicago Institute of Art and has lived around the country and it's kind of neat to meet someone so talented in our remote, small town area. Our last conversation was centered around the thoughts that when all else fails, we will always have our art to carry us through - I think artists all over can relate to that! Here's to another great painting day . . .
