I read your blog because I'm an artist. I love your work. It constantly inspires me and gets me off my duff and makes me totally feel alive with color filled goodness by seeing all the pretty colors you use. The first blog post I ever saw of yours was your 37 list I think it was with your list of 37 things to do in your book. I loved it!. I love your paintings now too. They are my fav.

OMG....I so totally need a robot clock for my classroom to go with my alligator clock. Michelle may I bring over folks after our Zentangles demo to your Studio open house on the 18th? We go until 5:30, fashionable dinner at Bugerville until 6:30 and then hang with you. How's that sound?
