SOME GOOD FROM A WAR

ART WALK FOR ANNIE

4 1/2 x 4 1/2 pastels
8" square archival white mattes, glass + scrolled gold leaf frames

Annie Salness is a wonderful artist and blogger that 
resides in Portland, Oregon. After experiencing a 
stroke several weeks ago, friends coordinated to aid 
with the medical expenses a silent auction - 
Art Walk for Annie - to be held on December 7th.

I have so much fun flinging frosting with the Cupcake 
Contessa Kelley MacDonald, as well as shooting 
Donut War paintings across the Nation, that felt it was 
fitting to donate some tasty morsels for Annie's cause.

    Hi Susan!
    I came by your blog by way of Annie's Artwalk. Saw your work there at the event and just drooled, but my painting buddy Gretha was the lucky one to get both of your little frosted goodies. Then much to my surprise, we are hanging again together at the Randy Higbee Gallery's 6" squared show! Funny, our paintings must know each other from distant lands, yet the creators have never met. So, I say to you, Hello from Portland!
    From your dusty friend in pastel,
    Brenda

    Thanks Celeste! Hope it was an enjoyable event.

    And Brenda, I have been following your blog for awhile, so happy to meet your acquaintance! Always nice to meet another pastelist. Happy to hear my goodies went to a home and helped Annie. See you later!

    Hi Susan,
    I already sent you an email letting you know I bought your two little paintings at the Artwalk for Annie but wanted to acknowledge it here on the direct link, too.
    At the auction I couldn't decide which painting to bid on and before I knew it, I had placed winning bids on both of them! It was generous of you to participate in the event.
    Happy Holidays!
    Gretha
