Hello Reader, I had every intention of sending one final reminder before my Summer Studio Sale came to a close. Unfortunately, an unexpected family emergency pulled me away for several days, and I wasn't able to share the final newsletter as planned.
Because of that, I'd hate for anyone to miss the opportunity to take advantage of the special pricing. As a thank you for your patience and understanding, I've decided to extend my Summer Studio Sale through Friday, July 31. 🌿 Summer Lake CollectionOne of the highlights of this sale is my Summer Lake Collection—a special group of original watercolor paintings inspired by peaceful mornings, glowing reflections, and quiet moments beside the water. Each painting is one of a kind and available at special Summer Studio Sale pricing, with free shipping anywhere in the United States. Once these originals find new homes, they're gone. Any remaining paintings will return to their regular prices after the sale.
🎨 Prints & Artist Aprons – 10% OffI'm so grateful to everyone who has already welcomed one of my prints or artist aprons into their home or studio! If you've been thinking about adding one to your collection, there's still time. During the sale you'll receive 10% off all available prints and my three artist aprons: 🤠 Turquoise Spirit I'm also thrilled to share that I Herd it Through the Great Line recently received a Merchandise Award in the Women in Watercolor International Competition—an honor that celebrates the artwork's successful transition into a beautiful, functional product. I'm delighted that this award-winning design is available both as a print and as one of my artist aprons. Although I only have a limited number with me this summer, I'm happy to accept orders at the sale price even if I temporarily sell out. If necessary, I'll ship your order from my Idaho studio after I return.
🖌️ Online Watercolor Courses – 25% OffIf you've been thinking about painting with me, I'd love to invite you to join one of my online watercolor courses. As part of this sale extension, I've created a new coupon code: 32EA6Use it before July 31 to receive 25% off any of my online watercolor courses. Whether you'd like to explore poured watercolor, paint portraits, flowers, wildlife, or landscapes, there's a course waiting for you. Courses are hosted through Patreon, but you do not need to become a Patreon member to purchase individual classes.
Thank YouThank you for your understanding over the past few days and for supporting my artwork, my teaching, and this wonderful creative community. Your encouragement means more than you know, and I'm so grateful to be able to share this journey with you. I hope you'll take a few moments to browse the Summer Studio Sale before it comes to a close on Friday, July 31. Yours in Watercolor, Leslie |
Hello Reader, October was quite a month, filled with some wonderful artistic opportunities, unexpected challenges, and moments that have reminded me just how precious life really is. At the beginning of the month, I traveled to Fort Worth, Texas, to participate in Modern Masters of the West at the historic Fort Worth Stockyards. What an incredible place to celebrate Western art, horses, and the stories that connect us to the American West! An Incredible Collaboration One of the highlights of...
Hello Reader, Faithful, A painting I did of my mom in 2012 I haven’t been as active with my newsletter lately. I took time away to be with my mother during the last couple of weeks of her life, and then to mourn her passing. I will always mourn her. Some days, I remind myself that she is in a better place, free from dementia and a failing body. Other days, I struggle to focus and want to do nothing but cry because I miss seeing her and hearing her laugh. I’m crying as I write this. I miss her...
Hello Reader, You may have noticed that I’ve been a little quiet over the past month. We’ve had a few medical emergencies in my family that needed my time and attention, and as sometimes happens in life, a few things simply had to be set aside for a while. Family needed to come first. But even while my focus has been pulled in other directions, some pretty exciting things have been happening in my art world—and I’ve been looking forward to finally sharing them with you. Apparently, I’m going...
