Budding Artist Visits Gail’s Studio

Olivia, from Seward Alaska, visited the studio with her parents and chose the print Sleeping Lady as her newest acquisition for her home. Olivia and I share a love of color. She told me her experience painting with tempera this summer, and how the colors have changed as they aged. I encouraged her to try acrylic next time, because the colors will stay true. It is always exciting to talk to a young budding artist and share our love for art. Thanks for visiting Olivia!

Dear Mrs. Gail,
Thank you very much for putting me on your blog and for sharing your Saturday morning with me and my parents. I really enjoy my new painting — every time I look at it I think of you and remember the beautiful day at your house. I look forward to the next visit and my next addition to my art collection of my favorite artist “you”! Next summer I will work on my mural in my backyard with acrylic paints and send you a photo of my work! Your artist buddy, Olivia:)
