Leanne's Birthday!!

We recently celebrated Leanne's birthday at our weekly ILMA meeting. It seems to me that it is a no brainer that the "mother of ILMA's" birthday shouldn't be a national holiday. Leanne we are all so thankful that you were born! You are a daily inspiration. I love you and your art. Nancy

ILMA 2010 Show Coming Up!

Make sure to mark your calendars!

Hope to see you there!

nancy & leanne painting happily in the back porch studio...

two and a half hours...would have liked four!

Nancy and I spent a few hours of studio joy (trading time helping each other in our studios) and we really transformed my indoor studio! Two heads (and four hands) are better than one! Ahhh...it feels SO GOOD to be in here now. Thank you, Nancy! Leanne
