			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wanted to update everyone with some fair highlights.</p>
<p>It was a great weekend with safe 2.5 hr travels each way despite a crazy torrential thunderstorm on the way home of 25 mph w/flashers on.</p>
<p>I would absolutely love to do some more fairs next summer and am on the look out for tents etc.</p>
<p>I am thankful to Christy&#8217;s friends who jimmied open my car door after not much sleep or food with lots of heat I simply accidentally locked my keys in the car, which is not a courtesy of local police departments. Angels shined and helped in just a few minutes.</p>
<p>I made some new friends and all in all had a great time sharing beauty in Michigan.</p>
<p>Best of all I got to meet my friend Robin Lemon of six+ years for the first time in person <img src='http://www.blog.rebeccagrantham.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Did I make sales? yes, Did I learn? yes. Do I have more to learn? yes</p>
<p>next up and I&#8217;ll share more when I can, is a potential gallery show in Cleveland this coming winter.</p>
<p>Thank you to everyone who came and all who believed and helped make this a wonderful weekend.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v367/paintsky47/fb/Robin002.jpg" alt="me and Robin" /></p>
<p>Robin and I (I&#8217;m on the right)</p>
<p>All the best,</p>
<p>Rebecca</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The beauty never ends, the greetings are always new. Everyday the sun shines, every moment is unique.</p>
<p>Here is <strong>Light of the Sun</strong>, a beautiful, 8in x 10in oil painting of the sun getting ready to set as it dissolved the summer sky and shimmered it&#8217;s way through my rose of sharon.</p>
<p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v367/paintsky47/fb/lightofthesunblog.jpg" alt="original oil painting Light of the sun" width="450" height="600" /></p>
<p>This piece was painted entirely plein air, on site over a matter of days and many mosquito bitten hours. Those little pesks love dusk to come out and attack. Just so happens that is one of my favorite times to paint too.</p>
<p>It was a battle, but I won. winks.</p>
