Richard and I had a very enjoyable October, sharing my art with our community and visitors from neighboring counties. We also had visitors from other states including Oregon, Hawaii, Virginia, and North Carolina. I appreciate that so many took the time to drive out our country road to visit my studio and I hope you will visit again.

Peoples' Choices

As in previous years, visitors were able to vote for their favorite paintings. The most votes went in a tie to Cypress Dance and Big Sur Beauty. (The latter was displayed with wet paint on my easel.)

The next most popular paintings were Poppy Meadow, Mountain Tarn, Hillside Wildflowers and Dana Fork.

Many other paintings received a nod. Your votes will help inform my choice of what to exhibit next in upcoming shows and the galleries representing me.

Raffle Winners

Now for the winners of the raffle…drum roll…

• Grand Prize of the original oil painting “Fog Over Bay” went to Jill of Los Gatos
• 2nd place of a giclee print, double matted, 11x14 went to John of Watsonville
• 3rd place of a pack of 5 notecards went to Eric of Santa Cruz

If you filled out a card, you are now in the loop to hear about all my art adventures in my newsletters. If you would like to visit the studio before the holidays, just give me a call. We can discuss your art preferences. You can also browse my painting inventory. Perhaps you'll find a painting for a friend, for a family member or for yourself.

Artisans Gallery in Santa Cruz

In December, I’ll be exhibiting my painting Summer Bloom (9x12) in a Small Works exhibition at Artisans Gallery on Pacific Avenue in Santa Cruz. Stop by for the First Friday exhibit (reception December 6, 6-8PM) to see the array of small paintings accomplished by my artist friends in our Santa Cruz Oil Painters (SCOP) group.

Special note: This month all of my prints are available on my web store for 20% off. These double matted 11"x14" art prints can be fun holiday gifts for self or others!

With Thanksgiving on the horizon, I wish you a relaxing remainder of this autumn. I hope you'll find family and/or friends with whom to share the holidays ahead.

Once again, I am grateful for your support,

Michele
