| My Painting 'Summer Reprise' on the cover of the May/June Issue of Pastel Journal |
I have to pinch myself to make sure it is real! I was thrilled to get the news that my painting was chosen for the cover of the May/June issue of Pastel Journal. It was icing on the cake. I was already excited to have my wildflower paintings featured in an article and now the cover! I can't wait to get my magazine in the mail!
I discovered a passion for painting the often overlooked 'weeds' as my husband calls them. It is a subject that I am drawn to no matter where I am. I always paint the 'big' view then settle down to find the wildflowers. They speak to me. I hope that you enjoy reading the article. If you don't get Pastel Journal (put it on your list!) you can purchase the issue

To celebrate the cover and article I have listed a new group of my wildflower paintings in my Etsy Shop. I would like to offer my blog readers and collectors a 10% savings on any wildflower painting. Visit my
Etsy shop here and use coupon code PJW 10

I am honored to be asked to present two programs at IAPS 2015 June in Albuquerque. I will be doing a demo on How to Paint Wildflowers and a seminar on Art Blogging. Make plans to come to this fantastic convention!

Congratulations Karen. Well deserved.
Congratulations, Karen, on a well-deserved honor. I know of no one else who so unselfishly gives of their time and knowledge, sharing with strangers on the web. Every day I visit your blog without fail, (after the news and financial sites) because it always leaves me with something very positive for the day. And even though I haven't touched my pastels for the past eight months because of a feverish commitment to a building project, I look forward to returning to them soon, and with your helpful advice and role model, I expect to continue making strides in becoming the artist I want to be.
I look forward to my copy of Pastel Magazine this month even more than usual.
Thanks for all you do,
Mitch
