Oil, 6" x 6" 

Sold.

Yep ... I have decided to bring back the "monthly painting giveaway". I have to be honest ... giving away things for free is just too much fun. I love, love my Birthday Week free giveaways and I had a blast with the Twelve Days of Christmas giveaways. But those only happen in June and December. I guess I just can't wait another six months ...
So, I am giving away a 6" x 6" original painting on February 1st. All you have to do between now and then is click the Facebook LIKE and RECOMMEND buttons on my website. Everytime you share you will be entered in the drawing ... so go to my website and find all of the "share" buttons. There are a lot of them ... and everytime you share you get another chance. If we are not friends on facebook, please friend request me!
And yes, there will be a free giveaway every month ... I promise!

I really love painting paintings of colleges and universities. Those four years (oops ... maybe five ...) of college represent such an importantt time in every teenager's life. College is a time to meet lifelong friends, find your passion, discover opportunities and even fall in love. I don't know of any other time in your life when you can live with your peers while discovering what you want to do (with the rest of your life).
When I am asked to paint a painting featuring a college I find myself wandering down memory lane ... so I am always refecting back on my four years at UCSB. I have also found that every time we travel to Stanford to visit my son, I remind him that I would love to attend college all over again at Stanford.  Fortunately my son no longer shows an expression of panic on his face ... he knows I am kidding ... but the memories of my four college years will last a lifetime.
So ... I hope this painting provides many great memories of Stanford. I do know the new owner has had many (and I do mean many ...) years at Stanford!

One of my favorite parts of the workshop was when the group joined me at my house for dinner. I decided to make grilled chicken and seared ahi and we finished off the meal with homemade berry cobbler. It was wonderful to sit around my dining room table and listen to everyone talk about their art. 

Dreama and I are hosting a workshop next month in Atlanta (February 10 - 12th). It' a three day workshop and we are hosting two dinners so we can enjoy the evenings and talk about art. The group is larger and I am so excited to meet everyone. We even have some very good "blogging buddies" attending the workshop whom we will finally get to meet in Atlanta. There are a few spots left so if you want to join us in Atlanta here is more information about our workshop. 

I have included more photos from my workshop last week. There are so many beautiful paintings in these photos!
