"A French Fantasy, Through an Open Window"
There were only four of us present for the group photo, l to r...Maria Johnson, Winnie Davis, Me and Ada Koch. Not present for the photo were JoAnne Carlton, Vicki Johnston and Audrey Benskin. We had a wonderful time being together, painting together!
Let's hope the painting raises a lot of money!

What more could the girls want!
I was so surprised to open the door and the first piece I saw was this beautiful fused glass piece by Rhoda Powers! Rhoda is a glass artist who has her studio in Parkville, Missouri, but has her work displayed many places around the Kansas City area. There are more of her pieces on display at Zest, a restaurant in the Mission Farms area, just down the walkway from ARTichokes. So, if you have a chance, check them out! Great Gifts!
My dear sister-in-law, artist Vicki Johnston is promoting a California artist, Marcia Munich, who makes beautiful jewelry. As Marcia's agent, Vicki arranged to show some of Marcia's pieces at Girl's Night Out.
Gentlemen, trust me.....wonderful Christmas Gift!
They will be on loan to ARTichokes for a few more weeks, so go shopping while you can!
Many other artists are represented at ARTichokes also.
