For memory has painted this perfect day
With colors that never fade.

you have to know where the edges are.

Congratulations Mary C.
💓 Mary sold her painting at the CWA's 47th National Exhibition!

What about Mary Blake?
2 items from Mary:

Half Price Sale:
I'm at a nice juncture in my life where I must re-evaluate my goals. I've decided to try downsizing which means I MUST get rid of a lot of "stuff". Except for my 3 favorite paintings (once I figure out which those are), all my paintings and prints will be half price. Sale starts today and ends March 15.

Email me (marycblake@comcast.net) to make an appointment, bring a friend or two and, if you see something you like, get an incredible deal.

And:

Artful Exchange

First week in March, we're planning an Artful Exchange.

If you have books, magazines, brushes, paints, paper, canvases, frames, pastels, pencils, easels, inks, misters, erasers, smocks, palettes, attic retreats, (you get the idea), bring them to these locations. You might just make someone's dream come true.

Bernal Library - Friday March 03 - 1 pm

Tuesday at Creightons - Tuesday March 07 - 10 am

We'll do the exchange first thing. Stay for the rest of our time together or go when the exchange is over.

See you then, I hope.
