 Dear ARThouse friends,
This is the Month of New Beginnings here at ARThouse! We have our two new classes starting up January 11-13: Working Toward Abstraction in Watercolor and Watercolor 101 (for beginners--still have spaces in this one). Plus we are launching an ARThouse Facebook Page!
Also, this is the time for me to begin some new, more serious paintings. Winter is always a good time to get work done, because there are fewer distractions, and a chance of being snowed in--which is a good thing for an artist! I will show you my results in time...

We are launching a Facebook Page about ARThouse! Check it out--you don't have to be a member of Facebook. 
You'll find several photo albums showing pictures of ARThouse and ARThouse people, as well as our Student Show and a selection of paintings by myself, Susan Avis Murphy.
We'd love it if you would "Like" us and become a fan! Help to spread the word about ARThouse and contribute to our success!

We still have a few spaces in our Tuesday evening Watercolor 101 class. Please visit the ARThouse website at www.arthouseart.com and go to the Classes page for more information. The class starts on Tuesday, January 11, and runs for six sessions every-other-week. All supplies are included.
Our other class this winter is called Working Toward Abstraction, and it is completely filled. Sorry! I will be teaching again in the summer.
