Art Talk Chez Margaret Stawicki

These are my favorite Art buddies at one of our bi-monthly Art meet ups at Margaret's place. I always walk away so inspired from their company....our subjects of discussion vary from Art, encaustic painting, best male models to paint (David Gandy won hands down), going to Art Galleries and more. They make going to school so much more worth it! Thanks for having us over Margaret!

p.s. Do you see me wearing one of my designs? Look closely............or hop over to my Clothing shop at Sparrow Lyn. Thank you for the encouragement everyone - it means the world to me.
