I was published in Somerset Studio Gallery!

I wanted to share my news....I was published in Somerset Studio Gallery magazine for the first time.  It is a beautiful issue and has loads of great art in it, it was a real privilege to have two of my projects featured.


This is one piece that I made that was inspired by Dina Wakley's book "Art Journal Freedom".


They also included one of my art journal pages.  The image I chose to be the focal point is a piece of clip art found at DeviantScrap.com, it was made by ITKUPILLI Imagenarium.  Instant gratification, you can download what you like and size it according to your needs.  I love that company and all their artists, the prices are very reasonable, too.


My thanks to SS Gallery!  It is always a thrill to see my work in print like this.

We are getting a little rain today, everything in New England is blooming like crazy.  It has been a beautiful Spring.  My herbs are gorgeous and I should have pictures of peonies to share in a few weeks.  I saw my first hummingbird of the season today.  I hope you're all enjoying the weather wherever you are, take care.  I'll talk to you soon!  ~ Renee  xxx

  1. CONGRATULATIONS my friend as you so deserve this and more.
    Stampington do well to recognise your artistry and to publish you time and again.
    The layers on the first piece of art has left me wishing I could reach out and touch the piece - stunning use of Dina's stamp.
    It is a wonder you could allow yourself to part with your art journal, I hope they return it safe and sound.
    Thank you for sharing your wonderful news and art with us.
    Wishes

  2. You had to send them your actual journal?! Or just a photo? Aren't those two characters on the magazine cover delightful too?! I love both your pieces! I love the versatility of your art. Always something new and usually different from you. Just the sort of thing to keep my attention. LOL

  5. A hearty high five to you my friend. I love both of these pieces, but the second especially. I am a big fan of your work, Renee, and one of the reasons is that you are such a versatile artist--never fearing to dabble in something new, yet always treating the tried-and-true with new energy! Way to go, Sistah! I am pleased for you!
