I’m sure many of you have heard the expression,it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack,Well I’m happy to share my good news with you that I hinted at before.I am the needle in the internet haystack that has been found!I was cautious in mentioning any of this until I knew for sure that is was legitimate with all the silly scams out there on the internet.
It is real, a couple weeks ago I was contacted online by a college text book, cover art editor for a publisher, and they are going to use my Black-Eyed Susan’s triptych painting, which is on display in a local gallery until Feb. 10th, on the cover of a book entitled Human Exceptionality, By Houghton Mifflin co. (What’s funny too is that the road I live is named Houghton.)

I have just sent out the billing invoice and will have my name on the copyright page inside the book as well.They are going to be sending me printed cover flats too.I’ll be sure to post some pictures when I have them.
The Boston company publishes over 300 text books a year, so I’m [ ... ]

Hi, As you know my New Year has gotten off to an unusual start LOL
I want to let everyone know I fixed the coupling that broke on our washing machine in all about a half an hour, many many thanks to all the times I saw my mom dive into a home repair growing up and fix something. Thank you for the confidence MOM!!!
and right after that I went upstairs to turn on our oven to make a nice pork roast and the knob broke and is stripped so no oven until I see if I can fix that too
and I have some exciting news to announce as soon as the paperwork comes through!!!, but for now also want to let everyone know that I just switched website hosts for rebeccagrantham.com and am going through a huge learning curve about ftp publishing among everything else that goes with setting up the site from scratch and editing all the files.
There are only a couple pages up now and will be working overtime this week to get it all together.
I want to redesign it also but that will have to wait until all my ducks are in a row(quack quack).Until [ ... ]

my Serenity piece along with Caressa’s fiber behind to the right Caressa’s Fiber worksome of Sandra’s Photographymy This Tree,which looked good in person and more rich than I remembered.
I’ll admit my photo’s did not come out very good and I’m hoping to get back and take some more.Saturday night went very well and the people who visited seemed honestly interested in each artist and their work. They took their time viewing each piece and meeting the artists.the three of us represented similar but unique expressions of nature and art.
I was most happy that people responded to and felt both the atmosphere and the emotions in my paintings. and the most asked question I got was “How do you keep up with or paint a sinking sun on site as it’s happening?”the easy answer was and is “I chase it, just as fast as I can” and that I’m getting better at it each time I paint.It’s what I truly love to do, to transfer my emotions of the moments I’m experiencing and the atmosphere of nature onto the canvas to the point of life. To the point where people forget that they are looking at a painting and are [ ... ]
