PAINTING GIVE-AWAY FROM CAROL SCHIFF STUDIO

The Gods of good fortune smiled down on me today and I was interviewed by Karina for her blog.  She is featuring my art and the interview this week and to celebrate, I am giving away this 4x12" painting of the Bridge of Prague, a $129. value.  It is on stretched canvas and the sides are painted black so that it may be hung without being framed.  To enter the contest just go to Karina's blog and follow her instructions.  The winner will be announced March 13.  Good Luck!

"Sunset Reflection" 24x30 oil accepted to Scottsdale Salon at the Legacy Gallery

I feel really, really fortunate that I had another painting accepted into a major exhibition. It has been a great ride this last week. I was especially pleased with this painting and felt good about my chances of getting into the show, but you never know until you read your name on the list.
I also have two new workshops planned right now. The first will be a one day plein air workshop at the Superstitions on Friday, April 15 from 10 to 4 pm for $70. If you are interested, email me at beckyjoy@beckyjoy.com and I will email you the particulars.

The second workshop I am pleased to announce will be a three day plein air workshop in Pasadena, CA on June 16, 17 and 18 for $150. If you are interested in this workshop, email me at beckyjoy@beckyjoy.com and I will send you information.

Talk to you all later.
