Happy Thanksgiving!

Oil painting of coastal marsh by Barbara Teusink — Featured Artwork: Into the Marsh

Wishing you small moments of peace and appreciation with friends and family this long weekend, and a warm and friendly gathering around the table. Pictured below, what's going on in my kitchen right now... homemade pumpkin pie with extra cinnamon - yummmmm. I hope your kitchen is filled with good smells and great company.

An artist's primary purpose is to communicate and connect. Your expression of interest helps to drive that connection. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to visit your inbox every few weeks this year. I appreciate your support, your interest, and your willingness to let me keep sharing what's going on in my studio with you. It's a solitary and somewhat strange practice to keep filling up blank canvases with color. For me, having a sense of you out there as a sounding board and primary audience means more than you know.

So, THANK YOU so very much for joining me here, and allowing me into your day! I am exceedingly grateful for YOU!
