So we're back from Florida and are trying to get rested up before school begins in a couple of days! It was an amazing trip and we're all so very proud of Ashler and the work that he did.
( photos and details of the trip here )

I'm getting started on my raffle painting tonight, and hope to have progress pics available by this weekend.

We just got back from Florida, and I have to say that all of the prep for the raffle and the trip have sucked up my studio time. While I still have to do the same work for the second leg of the trip, I'm hoping I can really crank out some art in that time.

( For those who are interested, here's the trip update! )


( more about the intensive )

We cut out all the tickets and put them in a large Pyrex measuring cup, and had Ashler draw the winner.



And the winner is......
Molena Williams!!!

Congratulations Molena and thanks to everyone who entered and helped to make Ashler's opportunity become a reality. I'll be sure to post photos of our trip and report his adventures during his 4 weeks there.

The raffle for a custom portrait, to raise funds for my son's ballet intensive, closes today at 1:30pm CDT. I'll post the results here at 2pm CDT.

There's still time to enter and get to word out! Thanks for everyone's support - it has meant the world to us.
