Stephen Quiller Demo in St. Louis

Thanks to Jerie Artz for this lovely slide show of the Stephen Quiller demo last night at the workshop being held here in St. Louis by the Saint Louis Watercolor Society.  This is copyrighted which means you can share it but not copy and sell it.  Very nice work, Jerie!

Jerie says, "
Several of us went to St. Louis last night to see an amazing water media demo by Stephen Quiller. "Play and listen to the painting" he mentioned over and over. He certainly was listening as he captured on paper a sunset from one of his daily late after cross country skiing outing near his home in Colorado.

Norton's is part of the Maplewood "Women Making History" festivities this month. 
On Saturday, March 31st, from 12 - 5, we're having a "Women by Women" show.  I
envision images of women BY women artists.  http://mo-maplewood.civicplus.com/DocumentView.aspx?DID=306

I am in need of MORE images of women by women artists. 

If you qualify as a female artist who has images of women, please call or email

For this show, the gallery has dropped it's usual commission of 40% to only 25%. 
The artwork will be up through mid April, and I need it no later than Tuesday,
March 27th.  There are no size restrictions nor quantity restrictions, however
Norton's will determine the final entries.

There will be refreshments served, and you are invited to attend, like an
opening, although I realize that this is VERY late notice.  And, of course, I
encourage you to invite your friends, family and collectors!
