Dear ,

I want to take a minute to extend my gratitude to you. You might be new to my list or have been following me for years. Whichever the case, THANK YOU! In honor of the forthcoming feast, here's a bit of eye candy for you. I hope there's a piece left for you of whatever pie your stomach desires. My favorite Thanksgiving pie is good old fashioned apple pie. This year, I baked mine with a combination of Empire, Braeburn and Cortland varieties, and by accident, used pastry flour for the dough, rather than all purpose. I will soon see what the results yield. 

And, to wet your palate, here's my painting, "The Last Piece on the Red Carpet", which was painted last year post-Thanksgiving, from the actual pie, for my Red Carpet series.

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving! 

Creatively and with ❤️,
 
FYI - Small Business Saturday and Giving Tuesday are coming
I'm planning some last-minute offers to celebrate Small Business Saturday and Giving Tuesday, along with filling my social media outlets with #20DaysOfTraills. I'm planning a Flash Sale on Instagram to be held on Saturday and plan on making a portion of my sales beginning on Giving Tuesday benefit the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation with aims to alleviate suffering caused by mental illness and 100% of their contributions are passed out to researchers. Check your inbox or hop on over to any of my social media profiles so you don't miss out on many opportunities to purchase work at special prices for you collection, help me curb mental illness through your purchases, and see more of my art.
