html... how did you make that painting image connect to your website? how did you drop it into the message box? I want to know! html fascinates me and I have always felt dumb with behind the scenes internet stuff but I do know the more visibility online, the better.

HI Greg:

If you've not yet discovered it, I started a Marketing Group in the groups. It's hidden, so you have to go the 'view all...' Take care, Barbara

"tulipmania" - the painting you see in the gallery, was done 2 yrs ago for a paradise city promotion! they had a contest during the show celbrating tulips and they asked artists interested in participating to have a tulip-themed painting or piece of art to highlight in their booths and that was mine. I actually have just donated that painting (38 x 30 framed) to Montserrat College where I teach for their annual fundraiser in May. It should bring them a decent amount of money.

Greg, you might want to consider visiting the paradise city show in Northampton in May to get a sense of what the other painters have for booth setups, its the way I figured out how to do my booth before I ever was a participating artist and it sounds like you know a few participating artists that are there already. you would also be able to see some amazing woodworkers, and fiber artists, and sculptors, and glass blowers, etc.

the paintings are in progress from the canvas raid, i've got 3 promising pieces happening. when you changed your profile pic, did it take a while for it to show up on your personal page?  i still see my old pic.
