Dent Repair in the Guthrie,Oklahoma, Area

What does this have to do with art you ask? Well, my Fine Art Friend, Kasie Sallee, and her husband have gone into business on their own. We have been in the Fine Art Friends group for a few years where we support each other and create ideas together. She is a wonderful artist. I know Kasie and her character very well. Knowing the dedication and hard work that Kasie puts into her website, art and family, I am sure the business will be successful.

If you live in the Guthrie, Oklahoma, area and have some dings and dents on your car, here is the answer: Daddy's Dent and Ding, Inc. They specialize in paintless dent repair so it is less expensive and faster.

Fine Art Friends, New Member, Vonda Evans

I've mentioned before that I belong to a group, Fine Art Friends. We share our trials and tribulations and encourage each other. We offer friendly criticism and help one another. We are scattered around but have the hope to meet face to face sometime.

We have a new member, Vonda Evans. She is a talented colored pencil artist in Oklahoma. Check out her website and blog. She is new to blogging but I'm sure she will be displaying her works in progress and giving us hints on how to use colored pencils soon.

Having a group of artists to be friends with is a real boost to my art world. Check out all my Fine Art Friends.

Just come on back here, y'all!

Grandma's Fine Art Friends

I have always said, "Grandma was slow ... but she was old." Well, "Hello, grandma!"

Rose Welty invited me to join a small private group of artists for the purposes of critique, encouragement and humor. We formed the group and set up our blog for the artists on September 10. I am just now posting about the group and the fine artists that are included. And, as it turns out, I am the grandma of the group as well. Wouldn't you know it? The point I am making, however, is not that I am old, just that I am slow. :)

This is your chance to meet the members of the group and learn more about them on their blogs and websites. You will enjoy their work and enthusiasm.

Rose has always been interested in sketching and about a year ago decided to set some goals and sketch for 15 minutes a day. She started her blog in January, 2007. She is a dedicated 'student' and is constantly researching and practicing. She lives near Ft. Worth, Texas, so we may get to meet each other one of these days. You will be impressed by the work/time she invests in art while running her home and mothering small children. You can read about her thoughts in forming the group in this post.


Belinda Lindhardt is in Australia. She is the mother of two small boys so has her hands full raising a family, too. She works in colored pencil and is interested in trying other media. She has developed a unique tracking system for her artwork that might be of assistance to you artists. Her pencil drawings are very good and most are available in prints.

Kasie Sallee is and artist mom as well with two girls and lives in Oklahoma. She prefers working in colored pencil. You will be intrigued to follow along on her blog about how her work is completed.

Valerie Jones is from Oklahoma as well and works from home while raising two children. She has studied various methods and media and prefers colored pencil as well. She teaches beginning art to adults. She has no website or blog at this time. Hopefully she will let us share some of her work on our blogs .. or maybe she will bite the bullet and start a blog. :)
