Hi folks, You probably have noticed that two of the new botanical projects for the October 24 - 26 are now up on the site. There is a funny story behind it. I got the September and October seminars mixed up in my mind - seems that more is broken besides my wrist!!! When I was half way through the third botanical, I decided to check the dates and realized my mistake. My goodness, with HOOT just around the corner I was almost in a panic.I started the Jacobean project at home, took it to HOOT to work on in the evenings and finished it at home when I returned. As most paintings do, it took on a life of its own and has developed into what I think is the best Jacobean design I have done. I did it on a beautiful mirror from Coyote Woodworks. All the panels and oval frame around the mirror are removable and so very easy to paint on. They fit into the mirror base - which I haven’t finished yet. But I intend to have it look like mahogany or leather with some simple gold scrollwork. I have a table that my father made and will use it for inspiration. I am sending it to you now, and do hope that you are looking forward to painting it with me on September 26 to 28.

| After my August 22 - 24 seminar I will get to work on the Acanthus Leafy Scrolls project that is also taught with the Jacobean project. I know exactly what I plan to do and will send that project out for you to see next week. | ||
I am so looking forward to painting with many of you in my upcoming home studio seminars and encourage you to call or e-mail Mary to see if we have openings for those of you who haven’t registered yet. In November I start my travel teaching and perhaps I’ll be coming to your area: |

Nov 29 , 30, Dec 1, 2008 This is my first trip to Argentina and I can hardly wait. I met Laura at SDP years ago and could see how well organized and dedicated she is in her desire to spread decorative painting throughout South America. I look forward to meeting everyone there and making new painting friends. |
I will post the schedule for my travel teaching in 2009 and 2010 on the website asap | |
Thanks again to all of you have sent me such thoughtful and caring get well wishes. I have learned how to many things without my left hand, but my goodness I sure am looking forward to getting it back soon. There will be a great deal of physiotherapy to do, and I am actually looking forward to it, knowing all of you are behind me with your support. I’ll be in touch again soon, when the second September 26 - 28 project is finished. Love, Maureen |
