Arrival

My new "Paint-On Tabletop Easel" arrived this morning!  I am so excited, I just have to test drive it today!!
I purchased it online from Karin Jurick.  It is a life saver for working at a table.  My other tabletop easel has been great, but I was getting a little fed-up with it's lack of stability.  This one is awesome and will serve it's purpose time and time again!  Karin has used hers for years! Thanks Karin and Brett for choosing to market these!  Every artist should have one!

Another surprise came as well today.  The company/Tam Systems who bought one-time rights to one of my painting images sent me several copies of how they used the image. It's very exciting!  My little grainbin that I see out of my studio window in North Central Kansas is immortalized on Christmas card/promo material in PA.   Yeah!
