One of the secret projects I was working on in January can now be revealed!
For the last year or so, I have tried to regularly participate in the
Different Strokes from Different Folks painting challenges moderated by Karin Jurick
(My submissions are grouped above).
Well, this week Karin got an early Valentine's Day gift from DSDF artists in the form of 118 paintings!
In January, artist
Jill Polsby organized an amazing gesture of appreciation and thanks to Karin by contacting artists and asking them to paint a portrait of her.
(Below: My small 'Karin' watercolor)These portraits were then collected and put into a book and sent to Karin.
All artist were to keep 'mum' about the whole project until now, and it has turned out to be a wonderful group gesture and I was happy to be included. You can view the online version
HERE.
Thanks to Jill for all her hard work and to Karin for her DSDF undertakings :-)
And to all, Happy Valentine's Day--go do something fun with your special someone!
