30-50 people attended the demonstration, enjoyed the refreshments and viewed the art. Sally was one of the guests that had the courage to learn how to "Smudge" in public! A great day was had by all!

I was pleased my vision of how I wished the show to work turned out just the way I imagined. You never know.
You think it through, and only hope all is well. Come see me and the other fine artist "Smudgers" at the reception Saturday, July 19.

I contacted the South Valleys Library 2 years ago to hold an exhibit of "OIL PASTEL SMUDGE" during ARTOWN. (www.renoisARTOWN.com) It was well worth the 2 year wait.

I have some fabulous students joining me in this exhibit showing their interpretation of this exciting technique using a self made template and working in positive & negative shapes.

It would not be the same showing without these wonderful artist's taking the OIL PASTEL SMUDGE technique that I am sharing, to another level. Much thanks to all of you.

Sherry Hunter currently residing in Yuma Arizona, as she and her husband are retired and traveling, (in a cute little tiny adorable trailer, I might add). She took a chance and entered her Smudge work in the Mountain Shadows Association's Annual Judged Fine Art Show. In taking that risk and putting herself and her art out there, and up for judging, she found herself walking away with a 1st Place Blue Ribbon in the category of Oil Pastels.

Congratulation's Sherry! I am so proud and excited for you.
