Hi everyone. I hope you don't mind if I take this moment to tell you a
little something!

Tonight was a great night for me. Just about everyone we know in
Tucson showed up for my big exhibit reception. It was fantastic to see
all our friends meeting each other, and it was wonderful to meet new
folks who came to see my art. I even talked to a young man who is just
starting out as an artist, and he asked advice. Incredible!!

One thing I thought of as I was spending a quiet moment sitting next to
Larry, munching finger food, drinking champagne, and watching all these
folks together . . . how I wished each and every one of you could have
been there. It would have made it the most perfect night.

You had an art showing Dawna?!?! Congratulations!!!! Yes it would have been
nice to be there. Even if I know absolutely NOTHING about art it still
woulda been a gas!! I do tho remember one of your paintings from your
website. I think it was called 'Dark As Day', is that it?? Anyway I LOVED
looking at that one. I hoped you sold everything & made you just a butt-load
of money. :-))))))))

Congratulations, Dawna! How exciting! I was just looking at your
paintings - do you have John's Armageddon in your collection or it that a
work you did for someone else? It is great! That is just how I feel when
I am angry!!!!!

Congratulations Dawna! Your art is amazing! Hope you sold lots!

I used to hire my sister, for my allowance, to draw maps for geography and
was once criticized by my science teacher for drawing an amoeba that didn't
look like an aboeba - how pathetic is it that I couldn't even draw a
single-celled blob ;)

Congratulations Dawna! Like everyone else here, I'm so proud of you and happy
for you as well. BTW, any news on your book being available at Barnes & Noble?
I have already decided that is going to be one of my Christmas presents to
myself this year!

Well, thank you all so much!

First of all, Billy, it's Dark as Daylight, and it's also my most
popular painting.

And hey, I did sell a painting from a contact who saw my exhibit.
Someone I've never even met! That was great.

John's Armageddon could be made into a print, Patricia, but the
painting itself was a commissioned work which is now in Saskatchewan,
Canada. Believe it or not, I was very happy as I painted that piece.
Everyone thinks it's so dark and energized or . . . something. I just
slopped on the paint.

As far as our novel at Barnes & Noble . . . we don't know what the hold
up is there. They've ordered the copies from our publisher and all.
They just need to get our page up there, we guess. It'll be in
paperback in the spring, if things keep progressing as they have been.

Gee, guys, I'm so happy that you've all been to see my paintings, and I
hadn't thought of the fact that it makes you proud. Man, that's a lot
to live up to. I hope I can do it. :)

Thanks again! It's wonderful having friends like you!

Love,
Dawna

Is the print info for John's Armageddon on your site? I don't remember
seeing anything specifically for that one. Just curious - what did the
person who commissioned the piece ask for? It just goes so show that 20
people can look at a work of art and see 20 different things - part of what
makes art so truly amazing!!!!!!!!!

You're right; I don't have that info on the site. I believe those
prints are in the fifty to seventy-five dollar range. They would be
made from a photo, so that's why they'd be cheaper. The pics our
printer has are good representations though. Anyway, it all depends on
the size you would be interested in. The original painting is 16X20.

> Just curious - what did the

I was commissioned to do a 16x20 "Pollack-like" Abstract Impressionist
painting in red, white, and black. Those were the only guidelines. I
actually had to add more "drippings" before the collector okayed it.
He loves it!!

FYI, I would do another of the same type in a minute, if I were
commissioned! It was fun. <hint, hint, hint>

No, really, I would've loved to see your exhibit, Dawna! I may not be
an art connosieur, but I can appreciate a nice painting when I see one.
I especially love a painting of a tropical beach with palm trees in it!
:-)

Anyhow, I'm happy for you and your exhibit! Keep up the good work.

Wonderful news, Dawna, sounds like you knocked 'em dead!
As if we expected anything less :-) I hope you realize how proud
we are of you, hun, believe me, we were all there in spirit.

Cheers,
