Movin’ Out

Well, it didn’t take long to decide that Blogger was easier to use, had more features available and more support, so I’m making a permanent move. You can find me now at
http://curlysqueue.blogspot.com/Please come visit me in my new home. I’m reaffirming my commitment to try to make more regular posts (that still sound wishy-washy doesn’t [...]

Which way do I go?

Hmmmmm…..I thought I’d look at Blogger again. I copy and pasted ALL of my WordPress posts back on Blogger. They just allow you to do more things. They’ve added categories or “labels” and you can run the Etsy mini and AdSense.I’d love to hear from others if they have any experience, good or bad, with [...]

One Fast Trip!

 
That was probably the fastest trip we’ve made to Colorado. And, we were so busy we didn’t even get to truly appreciate the surroundings. The Boulder Jewish Festival was great fun though, despite the more Kansas-like temperature of 90 degrees. I sold several paintings, lots of prints and cards, got to pitch a tent for [...]

It’s off to Boulder…

Tomorrow morning we leave for Boulder, Colorado. Maybe the long drive will be relaxing after all of the craziness of getting ready. I did finish the three paintings posted earlier this week, but didn’t get to any others. I’m really worried that all together the painting won’t make a big impact in that huge tent. [...]

Meet Me Under the Clock

On February 7th I had a most exciting opportunity! The Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit has come to Kansas City and Union Station, a very important event for our community, costing millions of dollars. A gala opening event was planned for all of the major benefactors, complete with a ribbon cutting by the mayor. I was [...]

Made the American Heart Association Homepage!

Well, I didn’t expect this—to be on the homepage of the American Heart Association. I did an interview for an insert in the February issue of Kansas City Magazine for “Heart Month” but it wound up being used by the national AHA, too.
Sharing my story feels very good. Women need to know about the [...]

Exciting Event Coming Up!

I am so excited and fortunate to be participating in the opening event for the Dead Sea Scrolls! I’ll be wearing a Middle-Eastern 1940s period Bedouin costume and selling my wares (paintings, prints, cards, etc.) along with 22 other vendors in an amazing marketplace atmosphere created inside Union Station. More info later–I have so much [...]

Made the Etsy Homepage!

One of my paintings was chosen in someone’s Treasury a couple of weeks ago. Making a Treasury list is very exciting, but this time it wound up on the Etsy homepage. Yay! Thanks RainbowMermaid!

A Good Mail Day!

I am so very excited! I just received books I illustrated in the mail. They are published by Reader’s Digest Children’s Books. I guess that officially makes me a children’s illustrator!
I’m also happy to announce that I’ve been offered a show of my paintings at the Jewish Community Center of Kansas City’s art Gallery. The [...]

Two New Shops….

I’ve opened an Etsy shop at http://www.lbolter.etsy.com. My work can also be found on JewishBuys.com at http://www.jewishbuys.com/shop.php?userid=100873. Please come visit me at one of these sites.
In addition to original paintings for sale, there are also note card reproductions that make great greeting cards, gifts or framed art on their own. I’ve gotten some great feedback [...]
