I want to say to whoever bought a canvas print of my ‘Fulani woman with Headscarf’ how much I appreciate them buying it. I really hope you enjoy looking at her as much as I enjoyed painting her. Cathy

I have reduced the prices on all my artwork cards until the end of this month. Now the November ‘no shipping fee’ is over, it will help a great deal for those of you who still need cards for Christmas or the New Year.

If you still need cards for Christmas, tomorrow is the deadline with RB!!! Better late than never though!
