Years back, long before the days of computers and easy access to art from around the world, there were these wonderful things called art magazines. They were like little treasures that came to my mailbox each month in rural Kentucky. A lifeline of sorts!

Those were the days when I was holed up in my studio painting…and writing things like this in my journal...

OH MAN!!!—I just went back and read a journal from my late 30's. I will NOT be sharing any of that content here. (I may be crazy, but I'm not that crazy. Glad I'm not in my 30's anymore—I was definitely a hot mess, tee hee!)

Where were we??
Oh yes, talking about art magazines.

Well, art magazines are even more gorgeous these days, and somehow I've managed to get myself and my paintings in one of the best—the International Artist Magazine. They contacted me a few months back, and here we are, spread out in the December/January issue.
As a Master Painter ;-)

Aside from my amazing self being in it (said with tongue firmly planted in cheek), it's STUFFED with lots of gorgeous work by artists from around the world. I am so glad that the folks at International Artist keep making these beautiful publications for crazy, creative people like us. (Notice how sneakily I've lumped you in with my 'crazy artist group of friends.' You're one of us now. It's a very exclusive group!).

Anywho—I think you might need one to read/frame/snuggle with since we are, after all, BFF's.

Love you to bits!
