A Quaint Street, Oil 10" x 8" Sold.
I mentioned a bit about my newsletter in an earlier post this week. As much as I LOVE my blog (and all of you!) I realize that most of the readers of my blog are artists. I decided I need to also reach out to everyone else. So, I signed up with the company Constant Contact which enabled me to set up an email database and also create a newsletter. They also keep you "spam compliant" which apparently is important these days.I receive two daily newsletters that discuss marketing for artists (they are written by Clint Watson and Tony Moffitt). Both of them encourage artists to develop a mailing list and monthly newsletter. I guess it finally sunk in.
So, this morning I sent out the May Newsletter. My initial list has just over 300 contacts and I hope it will continue to grow throughout the year. I am featuring two fun monthly columns which are "Where to Find Really Good Art" and "My Favorite New Artist". I am excited to feature some of my favorite artists in my newsletters to come!

Your painting really sings!
Nice perspective and I like the orange and purple palette.
I love this painting, the design is great, the colors viberant, and your marks are interesting. Where is this nook?
I read Clint's newsletter as well... I signed up for your newsletter.
Will it also feature YOUR work... I hope!
This is wonderful, Leslie. The colors are so vivid and complimentary palette is perfect!
Very Painterly!
Beautful, bright, bold, fun.
Leslie: I like how you make the colors pop out! This street scene reminds me of places I have been and enjoyed thoroughly. Great job.
Another wonderful piece! You really have such a unique texture - I love it!
Hi Leslie!
I just saw your comment on Carol Marine's blog and came to visit yours. I am very surprised with your art work, your style is unique and gorgeous, I like it very much. Your marine paintings are my favorites!
See you!
Carolina
Wonderful painting Leslie! I am amazed at your versatility with a limited palette of colors. I think I'll try it soon....
You are amazing with your color, Leslie! The perfect ratio of warm and cools, it seems to me! Also, I'm intrigued with the newsletter--send me one?
BEAUTIFUL WORK!!!
I love the looseness!!!
I love the colors in this one. Great job as always.
Hi Leslie. I love your work, too. Great light and reflections. I enjoyed reading your comments about a newsletter. I agree with you. I should get on that. A mailing list is soooooo important. I belong to Oil Painters of America and California Art Club, also. Perhaps our paths will cross someday……well……thanks to blogs, I guess they already have :-}
Thanks for that input Leslie. This is an amazing painting (again). Love the colours and as always, the brushwork.
Leslie

Hi Leslie. Love the colors in this one and I am enjoying your newsletter too!
I'm keen to find out more about the Tony Moffitt newsletter. I've read a bit about this guy on forums recently. Sounds good... but your link to his Blog isn't working!
