Upcoming Unveiling

Greta seems to make friends wherever she goes. Here she is riding on the back of her ostrich friend Jamal. He can't fly so he rides a skateboard, which allows him to spread his wings and soar in other ways. Joseph is currently working on a painting depicting this scene from book 2 in what will soon be the Greta series. We are very excited by this. The painting will be unveiled at Joseph Watson's Gallery in the Arts Factory in Las Vegas during October First Friday. Here's a sneak peek at the painting-in-progress. Below the 2 stages of acrylic on canvas (actual size: 24" x 18") is the pencil sketch from the early stages of the book. Hope you can make it to the gallery on Friday the 7th. As ever, thanks for the support. You can do anything.

Greta gets another pretty special nod.

Mayor Carolyn Goodman was at the Arts Factory for an art unveiling during last month's Preview Thursday at the Arts Factory. She stopped by the Joseph Watson Collection and, from what I hear, was particularly attracted to the Greta section.

Joseph (and my wife Kristen who happened to be there) gave her the story behind the story, and the mayor was very complimentary. He also gave her a signed copy of our book which she said she may try to read during Nevada Reading Week, at which point everything would come full circle.

We hope Greta's influence continues to spread. Thank you, Mayor Goodman, for the nod of approval and unofficial endorsement.
