Works of Faith

Two of the pieces in my Sermon Notes series have been accepted into "Works of Faith", June 8 - August 10, and "Gifts of the Spirit" August 17 - October 12. The exhibitions are sponsored by the First Presbyterian Church in Portland, OR. I haven't exhibited my work for many years; it feels good to have been accepted into these shows in my home town.

I bought some of your note cards last Sunday (for mother's day gifts)...perhaps these could become note cards too? Beautiful work.

And...I know someone who would be interested in paintings of Israel. I'll introduce myself to you one of these Sundays. Have a wonderful trip.

All His Best,
Stacey

Art Tip: brush cleaning

As I work with acrylic medium for glue or with acrylic paints I stand my brushes in a bucket of water on my work table and give them a soap and water cleanup every day or so. But eventually my brushes get gunky and sometimes I forget to clean them. That's when I clean them with Murphy's Oil Soap. I keep an inch of MOS mixed 1:1 with water in a tall plastic tub (Feta from Costco) and put caked brushes in that solution overnight. By the next day the soap has softened the brush and with a bit of elbow grease I can get the brushes back to useable. This also works for brushes used with oil paint. I gave up using oils but wanted to save those good brushes and Murphy's Oil Soap came to the rescue. Get it at the grocery store.
