Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Hello All,
Today I am not posting a painting but did want to check in and just say....Hope your weekend is wonderfully restorative and fun!!!! I had a great trip to Raleigh to see my friend, Susan Hecht. Check out her web site at www.susanbhecht.com. We both began our painting journey at the same time with the same teacher and have followed our bliss as they say, selling our work and teaching. I am aways filled with inspiration when I return and it never seems long enough! I just finished a newsletter which is sent through my web site... www.normawilsonfineart.com. If you'd like to receive it, just visit my site and go to email newsletter and subscribe. You can also receive my daily paintings in your inbox by subscribing in the box at the top of my blog. You can unsubscribe at any time. My newsletters come only a couple of times a month. :-)
I also wanted to mention that anyone local interested in art lessons, I will be teaching private and semi-private at my new studio in Portsmouth. We can talk about hours and all the details. I can teach, acrylic, paste, and oil....whatever interests you! Thanks for checking in with me and I plan on posting a painting tonight....tomorrow at the latest. I am having a great time with my sons around and Brewsky, the crazy, huge, black lab puppy. :-0 Bye!

My Studio

I decided to post my new studio this tonight as I did not get a painting finished today. Today was my teaching day at Harbor's Edge and tonight I have been having a great time visiting with my sons. My oldest is home for the weekend and my middle son is home from college for the summer with my grandpuppy. He has been entertaining us all and just ate my snack when I was distracted.

Tomorrow is such a busy day and I have not even begun to prepare for it. I will be manning the tent at Gosport Art Festival in Portsmouth for the Chesapeake Bay Art Association. I am doing a demonstration and have to gather my materials and be down there by about 8:00. My dilemma is always...is it better to just go to bed and get up REALLY early or is it better to get it all ready and THEN go to bed. I am worn out but I know it will be a fun day tomorrow.

My youngest son is celebrating his 16th birthday with his friends tomorrow night with a movie and cake and ice cream. His actual birthday is on Sunday. The year he was born it did not fall on Mother's Day but I thought it would be an awesome present.

Well, have a terrific weekend!
