When a group requests permission to use an image of my artwork, I always request that my website address be used in conjunction with the artwork. Recently a new frame shop in Franklin, TN, requested permission to use the image of one of my paintings of the town on their brochure and on their web site. They were happy to do so; this can help to promote my artwork with their customers.

The money will go to the arts in education in local schools and the upkeep of the Brandon Artists Guild. This is our 9th year, and I've made 15th objets d'art: a life sized pig, Adirondack Rocker, Dogs, Artist palettes, giant birdhouses, etc... It's an annual challenge and I'm kinda burned out right now. but the arts have turned the tide in our little town from depressed to renaissance. And I am thrilled to have been here throughout the process. Shari Cornish's VPR mug is brilliant though- she donates one design and the reproduction of the mug is excellent long term advertising.
