CPSA 20th Annual International Exhibition in Covington, KY; now until August 30th.

OK,  so I can't help but jump up and down over this exhibit.  My painting is surrounded by some of the best of the best, CP art in the world. What a huge honor! The venue is  beautiful. Two well lit floors  plus hallways filled to the brim with nothing but colored pencil.  Am I in Heaven? If you are local, don't miss the show.  "Meet the Artist" is Saturday Aug 4th, 4:00-6:00 pm.  The CPSA Convention is in town.

Christmas commission in progress.

Here is Maddy as she emerges from the page. She is a Christmas present for my client's husband who adores his kitty. Final dimensions will be 9"x12". Base price for  8"x10" commissions is $420.00. This price will increase to $450.00 in January. Pricing depends on size and number of subjects. Though unable to take on any more commissions due before Christmas, I will happily sell a gift certificate.  If you purchase now you will be locked into current pricing.

Today I am the featured artist on CPSA's Facebook page: " Today's featured artist is CPSA member Margie Hopkins from Ohio. She has a very interesting website....great bio, shows her process, and her love of animals is evident. One of her portraits appeared on a recent cover of the Journal of American Veterinary Medical Association."

What an honor for myself and Meghan Hopkins who created and designed my logo and website.  If you wish to know more about Meghan and her freelance design, go to www.meghanhopkins.com
