The best way for preparing, packing and shipping artwork depends on your objective. It all began about six months ago. I was attending a critique session with local Watercolor Society of Oregon members. We got on the subject of shipping artwork and watercolor paintings in particular. I added my two cents worth, or was it forty-five? In any case, my friend Georganna Happel suggested I write an article about shipping paintings. Six months later, I think I’m ready to give it a try. By painting his “Hoot Owl” in orange colors, I think my father, artist John H. Stermer, was having fun and peaking our curiosity. I see stoic owls, teaming with energy as they wait for the night’s hunt. What do you see? I thought I’d write about my “muse” for my “Just Sayin’…” series after seeing a contest on Professional Artist Magazine. They’re asking artists to enter images of their muse with a story. Hmmm, I have a muse; I can do this. 🙂Art in New Group of World Servers Journal

I am delighted and honored to say that my artwork is featured in the May/June edition of the New Group of World Servers Journal. Thank you Barb Allen, Editor.
I was pleased to see that my artwork shares the pages with the work of colleague and blog friend Katharine Cartwright. Her “Laws of Nature” series of paintings are stunning. Congratulations.
