Selected originals and prints are also on display at US Bank in Anacortes during April and May. Plan to change that show up at the end of April so stop by both months.

Jim and I enjoyed Saturday at Challenger Ridge Winery in Concrete.  It's was Girl's Day at the Winery.  We had a booth along with several other vendors.  Many fun-loving ladies stopped by my booth and painted their own wine glass to take home.  It was a hoot!  We will be back at Challenger Ridge Memorial Day weekend with a show in the tasting room.

Look for me painting more wine glasses April 11 at Gretchen's in Downtown Mount Vernon and check out my paintings in the window April 5 - 11.
