Shine On To The Stars

"Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes 
your hopes shine to the stars. 
Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, 
and the swing in your gait. 
It's the grip of your hand, 
the irresistible surge of will and 
energy to execute your ideas."
~ Henry Ford

So Long New York City!

"Act as if what you do 
makes a difference. It does."

Sandy Sandy's NYC Watercolor on Yupo Paper Demonstration - 6-12-14

Over the course of my five demo gig at the Utrecht / Dick Blick Stores in New York City, I became reacquainted with all the intense diversity and exciting opportunities that the great city of New York, New York offers. I feel like I'm beginning to understand its magnetism. I'm a lot more comfortable getting around town and am looking forward to doing more work with the marketing director at Legion Paper in the near future. The people at Legion were very easy going, agreeable and fun to work with. They treated me so well, at times I almost felt like a celebrity! I just put together a slideshow with some of the photos that they at Legion were so kind to snap for me. See shots of my 2014 NYC Spring Demos.


The icing on the cake is an unexpected email
testimonial from one of the guests;

Sandy Sandy's YIPPEE FOR YUPO Demonstration - NYC - 6-12-14

"I attended Sandy Sandy's terrific Watercolor on Yupo Paper demonstration at Utrecht Art Supplies on June 12, 2014. During the 2-hour presentation, she created two beautiful paintings taking the time to demonstrate each step of the process, answer every question from the group and provide practical information and numerous tips. Sandy's down-to- earth, warm, generous and inspiring style created the most enjoyable and delightful atmosphere. I highly recommend you attend one of Sandy Sandy's demonstrations or classes whenever you have the opportunity! Thank you again, Sandy, for a wonderful demonstration. You filled the Utrecht store with your good will, good cheer, creative spirit and beautiful work." ~ Chris P.

It has been an action packed week with family visiting from out of town. We have been very busy! The first day we went to Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ. There is a wonderful retrospective exhibit there through September 21st. We had a blast! I plan to go back at least one more time before it is over.

On Wednesday and Thursday, I head back up to NYC for two more demos sponsored by Legion Paper. Check out my new demo slideshow here. They really are great fun. 
I would love to meet you there!

Have a great day!
