Mule Cabins, Wisdom, Montana. Oil on stretched canvas, 16x20. SoldThe following is something I'm committing to do on a regular basis. Every week or so, I will cull my list of calls and post the ones I find most interesting. If you're a painter and you follow my blog, let me know of calls that interest you, and I will add them.
I'm making no statements about these calls. I'm not endorsing them, or saying that they're right or good or trustworthy. I'm simply copying them from a variety of spots on the Internet and transferring them to my blog. Some of them, frankly, I just could not resist.
I hope you find the list useful!
