Two interesting invitations lately: one is to join the group, Artists for Conservation, an international group, based in Canada. From their website (link in Places I Like at the right) “The organization’s mission is to support wildlife and habitat conservation, biodiversity, sustainability and environmental education through art that celebrates our natural heritage.”

The other invitation is from assistant curator Claire D’Alba of the Art in Embassies Program to particpate in that program by lending a couple of paintings for the residence of the ambassador to Romania (link at right.) It seems the new ambassador is from Alabama, and one of my delta scenes that represents his home state might also make him feel a little more at home. It’s an honor, though tying up two paintings for two and a half years is difficult. But I’ve commited to do it–and I will certainly be in good company with all the other artists the program has shown in the past.
Wow Susan! congratulations for the exciting possibilities! You deserve it all. Your work is BEAUTIFUL! Now more people will see it!
