Royal Wedding Invitation

Paula Reynolds



Rebecca Wang



Sylvia Young



Nancie Johnson







This is breaking from on our normal tradition but I think it will be fun.
Were you awake in anticipation for the Royal Wedding? It was said to have 2 billion viewers on television and 400 million via internet. That is over 1/3rd of our planet's population.

What I'd like for us to do is use The Royal Wedding Channel on Youtube as the source material for this month's challenge. Under The Wedding Highlights tab you'll find all the moments from the beginning. Go through the videos and find your moment to express in paint. What a grand affair to witness. Heck... send me two or three paintings if you so desire.

I also would like to announce that Paula Reynolds will be having a one woman show opening this Friday May 6th at the Firehouse Gallery in Del Rio Texas. Paula has been an inspirational painter for many of us. Let's all wish Paula well and send her messages of encouragement. If you happen to be in the neighborhood make it a plan to go and see her show. Paula will be offering a variety of original pieces at very modest prices. We all support Paula and hope that fresh patrons discover the moving melody found in her pieces.

Thank you for such support, Alice! I am in tears from your kindness! (I'm a bit nervous about the show. But I'm glad it's here! I'll post some pictures of it on my blog next week.)

About the wedding, my husband thinks all 2 billion of us are crazy. Who are these people that half of the world wants to witness their wedding? We're not British, why should we care?

This is one of those rare instances when the answer "BECAUSE" is good enough! Who doesn't love a love story? The biggest pomp of circumstance? The party of the century? There's just something about a royal wedding, a British royal wedding that just makes your heart flutter.......

Great challenge, Alice. You are so clever! Thanks for helping me spread my artists wings!
