My decision to apply for an arts grant after a friend’s encouragement turned out to be the best decision this year. I found out yesterday that I got the grant! Looking forward to plein air adventures in state parks for 2016.
I’ve decided to participate in Susannah Conway’s December Reflections photo prompts again this year. During this hectic and stressful season, won’t you join me in mindful reflection from life’s photographic window seats and contemplative comments that provide refuge from the madness.

Congratulations, Tamara! This is very good news indeed. Artists don’t always get financial support for doing what they really want to do. We are thrilled for you! – Mike & Vera
Thanks Mike and Vera! I’m very excited about this opportunity to paint in some beautiful places next year, and hopefully encourage people to participate in making art in nature.
