Encouragement and Windex

I spent most of yesterday cleaning the studio — one of the main reasons I do Gallery Tour every year is the preparation.  I get freaked enough to straighten up my yard and clean the studio.  Yes, it requires terror to make me clean.

As I was finishing, a friend congratulated me on the American Artist article — and I told her she must be looking at an old magazine.  She convinced me she really had BOUGHT a new magazine with my work in it and she is right!  An interview I did with Mr. Doherty is in the current “Best of Watercolor” issue.  It was a nice surprise after a day of dusting and sweeping. 

Now back to cleaning.  My ego got a little boost last night but today….back to shoving the mop.  Thanks, Heike, for the heads up.
