Joining Seacoast Artist Association in Exeter

I'm joining the Seacoast Artist Association in exeter, NH this year as a hanging member! I'm really thrilled. Getting my Lion drawing framed this week to show in the "Black and White" exhibit for January. Here's a close-up. I'll be showing my colored pencil drawings and perhaps some oils and acrylics. If you are in the neighborhood, stop in in January!

I have artwork in 2 shows

I have 6 pieces of artwork in shows in Exeter, NH. Two pieces at the Exeter Town Hall and 4 pieces at the Exeter Chamber of Commerce. Stop in if you live in the area! Here's a close-up of my "Llama".

My llama in acrylics

I started painting a llama this weekend. Sometimes it's nice to work in acrylics because they dry so fast. Kind of instant gratification. I have a few more layers to do on this, but thought I'd post it so far. I think I'll use it for a Christmas card design.

You can't use my artwork unless you ask me!

"Good morning!
Just wanted to let you know that I added one of your works as my cover page. I have attached a link to your page and hope you see an increase in traffic and visibility to your work. I love your work! Enjoy the day!"

I was welcomed this morning with this FB message. I was horrified at how the general public treats artist's work as something they can just grab and use because they like it. I asked her nicely to take it down and she stated that other artists had reacted  in a positive manner. I explained how the copyright law works and that her usage was against the law. I checked out her supposed "link" to my web site worked, when I went to check it out. It only linked it an image she had saved to her photos. This reminds me yet again that I really need to include copyright info on every image I post. This is a wake up for me and I'll be more careful in the future. I promise myself!
