I'm really excited about getting the information. Self-supporting artists - portfolios - how to find corporate buyers , tax and law information and more... all in the next 7 days. All from what appears to be credible qualified people. It's all going to be completed via an on-line format and I'll get a CD and a link if I can't catch it as it is taking place. (Which is a GREAT thing because in spite of my registering for the pre-summit sessions, I wasn't able to get to any of them as they were taking place!)
...soooo I'll be pretty busy these next few days and I may not post anything (also trying hard to do regularly) for a little bit. I am adding two photos... one of a tractor a former student now an adult and friend (Thanks Tonya!!!) took a picture of and then the painting I created from it. As someone with strong roots in a rural farming area this was "home" and easy to invision the what the inside of the 
barn might look a little like (which was fabricated from a shallower region of the brain ;). I seem to have a "cartoony" (to me) edge to most of my attempts toward realism - but to me pleasing to my eye. I like the monochromatic color scheme here and learning the white/black color mixing to create the difference in shade was a little challenging. Definitely a learning experience! Hope you enjoy too!

I Jana -
I'll be the first and break the ice! Nice start here.... I know you will get so much out of this seminar and with a blog up and running, you are already ahead of the game!
I just did a little free phone-mentoring with one of my students. My advice to her is the same to you Jana- SQUINT More. You will see why Lobo's Boots is such a winner. Best Wishes and Keep Your Brushes Wet! from a fellow SmARTist!
Thanks for the advice & encouragement... and breaking in my blog with the 1st comment. I'm hoping it will be the 1st of many, from many!
Jana ~ You are most welcome for the comments! That's one of my traits, for better or worse, I usually jump right in without thinking about it.
