Life Takes Unexpected Turns

Life certainly takes unexpected turns, and mine is no exception.  With a family of 6, which includes my young grandson and my elderly mother whom live with us, sometimes the best laid plans have to be set aside to take care of priorities.  Sometimes those turns don't always involve family, but rather, our dear friends whose presence in our lives are as important as our own family.

My very dear friend has needed me every step of the way during a difficult transition in her life, and it was necessary for me to be there for her for the last 6 weeks.  As a result, of course, there were things in my life that I had to put on hold - Red Easel was one of those things that just had to wait till the dust settled and life got back to normal - or at the very least the laundry got caught up. 

So, bare with me and pray with me while I continue to help my dear friend get settled into her new life with her beautiful children beside her.  Your patience and understanding while this site and blog has had to take a sabbatical from the world of fine art is appreciated.  We will be back soon with information and newsletters to make you smile and inspire you to be the best artist you can be.

Red Easel Magazine!

Thanks to all the wonderful comments I have been receiving for Red Easel and our newsletter.  Your thoughts and praises have been greatly appreciated. 

Many of you have said that you would like to see our newsletters archived and available on the website.  I thought that this was a great idea, so after spending the entire weekend researching and playing around on the computer to figure out how to do it, Red Easel Magazine was launched.  Yeap, just what I need, another website to keep me grounded on my sofa and out of my studio.  But that's okay. I love to write and play around on my Mac about as much as painting - well, almost. 

So check out all of the creative energy I put into Red Easel Magazine this weekend.  It is an extension of Red Easel, of course, by providing the reader with an archive of all the newsletters you have been receiving in your email.

I hope everyone will enjoy this new feature on Red Easel! 

Your comments and emails are appreciated as we continue to provide you with a great place on the web for visual artists.
