<p><strong>Dear Collector,</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to invite you into the gallery from December 4-7 for a celebration of art, nature, and conservation. I&#8217;ve extended the Open House to four days this year to make sure you can stop by on your schedule.</p>
<p>Thursday           Friday                 Saturday            Sunday<br />
December 4       December 5       December 6       December 7<br />
10 am &#8211; 8 pm    10 am &#8211; 8 pm    10 am &#8211; 8 pm    10 am &#8211; 5 pm</p>
<p>Featured on display will be my latest paintings and in-progress works, which I would like to share with you for the first time. I&#8217;d love to talk with you about the inspiration for these pieces, and I will appreciate hearing your thoughts and what you&#8217;d like to see in the future.</p>
<p>We will have daily drawings for art pieces, including a grand prize of a framed, limited edition canvas valued at $525! And with the holidays just around the corner, be sure to take advantage of a long list of Open House-only sales when you&#8217;re shopping for Christmas gifts.</p>
<p>As you may know, before painting full-time I was a junior high science teacher. As part of my passion for education on the wonders of nature, I have partnered with the <a title="Springbrook Conservation Education Center" href="http://www.iowadnr.com/springbrook/" target="_blank">Conservation Education Center at Springbrook Park</a> to support their goals of raising conservation awareness and exposing Iowans to outdoor experiences. Did you know that up to 20,000 people of all ages pass through the center every year? They are doing great work at Springbrook, and a representative from the park will be present to talk about their programs and story. They&#8217;ll have a table set up with fly-tying equipment, so you can learn about the artistry of creating tasty-looking fishing lures from scratch.</p>
<p>I believe in the Conservation Education Center&#8217;s mission so much that I&#8217;m donating a portion of all Open House sales toward their future programs.</p>
<p>In celebration of our partnership with Iowa&#8217;s own Tassel Ridge winery, there will be complimentary wine tastings for you to enjoy. We&#8217;re pairing the delicious wines with Iowa-made fine cheeses, breads, juices, and coffee to round out the palate pleasure.</p>
<p>I hope you will join me at the Open House Thursday, December 4 &#8211; Sunday, December 7. And please bring the kids! They&#8217;ll have fun on a wildlife art scavenger hunt with prizes for all.</p>
<p>If you RSVP for the Open House <a title="RSVP Form" href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=ppebHOoKEpjfAuZZs3fMKNw&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">here</a>, I&#8217;ll make sure to have a special gift waiting for you when you arrive!</p>
