Ocean Dreams is one of these vibrant, colorful paintings … you can get it as an Art Card, ACEO and also a framed print!    Plum Sky and Spring Renewal are available here or at Etsy as ACEOs.  Just ask for other sizes! Other paintings are available in my Etsy Shop.

I also got a call the other day from a local newspaper reporter asking about Fostering the Arts. Many of you have followed that I am active in developing the local Creative Economy. It is exciting to have been interviewed again and quoted – that makes twice in less than 2 weeks … here is the start of the article with a link to the whole article.

QUOTING FROM THE REPUBLICAN

Franklin artists join forces

By DAVID A. VALLETTE

GREENFIELD – The Fostering the Arts and Culture in Franklin County initiative has identified five geographical “hubs” that are to get their own plans for boosting their creative economies.

Basically, the goal is for artists and artisans to become better business people.

“Franklin County is fantastic, and it’s time for the rest of the world to know it,” said Diane A. Clancy, of Greenfield, one of the artists involved. Clancy, who has led an effort to put artistic works on display in store windows said she is optimistic about the effort.  <End of Quote>
