I usually get one or two very nice responses from V. Notes readers, but after the last couple of posts I’ve been receiving quite a few letters. (Thank you!) This one from Margaret, “a devoted reader” was my favorite. Other than the generous cultural love fest between us, it’s great to know we have devoted readers in exotic places such as Kelowna BC!
Hi Ruthie,
I live in Kelowna BC. I am a retired high school art teacher/wanna be artist from Vancouver. I got connected with your blog through an Oregon artist Randall David Tipton.
I just want to thank you for your newsletters. You are articulate, intelligent, talented, generous, and fun! I look forward to each and every of your emails and find them thoughtful and inspirational. I so miss going to Seattle for the weekend for a cultural fix and to gather ideas for lesson plans for my students.
You are my cultural fix now and I absolutely love you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous, intelligent contribution to the (mostly) cultural wasteland that is the internet.
A devoted reader,
Margaret

Aw, thank you so much for your letter Margaret! It is a wonderful and slightly disconcerting thing to be a cultural emissary, but I’ll keep gathering what I can and flinging it in your direction.
Ok, who else is out there? Raise your hand if you think you might be the farthest reaching V. Notes reader. Raise them high so I can see you….
Tomorrow, we start Day 1 of the 30 day challenge. You can tell how much I’ve been preparing by counting the open tabs on my browser. (There are 47 open tabs on my browser). Are you ready to launch 2020?
Day 25 of our 30 Day January Challenge was to make instructions that no one will ever need. Apparently, when artists are outlining useless instructions they are at their very best. The last one is my personal favorite, but there were so many great drawings to post, the last one is a long, long, long …
I’ll be sharing my drawings on Facebook. I’d love for you to share yours too. Maybe we’ll get some people jumping in to join us. Post your pics on the Seattle Artist League‘s Facebook, or Instagram at SeattleArtLeague. #drawingaday #seattleartleague
Five Things You Might Not Know About Egon Schiele Egon Schiele, Standing Nude with Stockings, 1914 In his twenty-eight years on earth, Egon Schiele produced some of the most radical depictions of the human figure in modern times. Through his highly expressive, utterly uncompromising portraiture, he shoved away the parameters of self-expression, procreation, sexuality, eroticism and mortality …
