My First Friday Gallery Walk show will now be the first Friday in December!

December 6th

:)

My "First Friday" Gallery Walk show is now going to be the first Friday of December!

There was a bit of a mix-up, and I'm always flexible, so I was happy to move my showing back a month. Gives me a little more time to prepare, anyway!!
Hopefully this means some of you who couldn't make it THIS Friday can make it for the first Friday in December.

XOXO

My latest painting is finally finished!
The cowboy is actually a friend of mine from high school, Dave O'Connell!

I just heard from an art buyer that they saw (and loved) one of my NYC paintings in a hospital in New York City. They are interested in possibly buying more of my NYC paintings (prints of them, anyway) for a building they are renovating. Wouldn't THAT be cool!!

Drove up Poudre Canyon with the intention of going over Cameron Pass but ran into road construction and didn't want to spend that much time in the car (my body is really HURTING with the front that's coming in...), so we turned around short of the pass. I'm glad we did, because a couple of miles after turning around there was a huge bull moose in the road. By the time we reached where he had been, he had gone into Sleeping Elephant picnic area, which is closed...didn't he see the sign?? 😂🤣
I parked Max off the highway and slowly, carefully walked into the area where I had seen Bullwinkle standing in some trees. He was nowhere to be found.
I gave up and walked back out to the highway. After letting two speeding cars go by, I crossed the road and turned to walk to my car...and there he was, about 20 feet beyond Max! I yelled at Linda to turn and look, then got my camera ready. These are the pics I managed to get! 😎

Please be aware...
Scammers are now trying to "get you" with Zelle! I just had a person trying to "buy" my "Barrel Racer" painting and she wanted to pay me via Zelle. That's fine, as Zelle can be an awesome way to exchange funds. HOWEVER...when I got an e-mail from "Zelle" stating that my account wasn't a business account and the funds coming in were FROM a business account and they couldn't continue with the deposit, the alarms started going off. "Zelle" wanted me to request an additional $300 (on a $245 purchase) and then refund the $300 to the sender.

I called my bank and talked to them. They assured me that my ACTUAL Zelle account was set up properly and legitimately and there would be NO reason to ever request/refund extra money. Period.

All the while I had the "buyer" continuously trying to facetime with me via Facebook Messenger. I ignored her calls and messaged to her that I was currently on the phone with my bank to see how to proceed. She kept asking me "What are they saying?" "What are you trying to do?"

Now, the comment "she" left on my photo of the painting being clear-coated in my driveway has been deleted and I am blocked from seeing her Facebook account. I guess I'M the bad guy here, huh?

😂😁🤣

Be careful out there, friends...these scammers are getting more and more bold and pushy.

By the way, in case anyone else hears from this person, her name was Nicole Dreyer.

I just finished "Barrel Racer", based on a photo I took at Cheyenne Frontier Days this past July. Prints are available here:
