Preparing for the New Year

My show at the Langdon Center was a success. Fifteen pieces sold. Starting in January I will begin preparing for my show at the Old Post Office Museum in Graham TX, August '10. So keep in touch. Visit my website at www.vickieguthrie.com to see my latest works.

Roads Traveled Show Opening

A big Texas "Thank You" to family, art patrons who made it to the opening reception. Granbury has a wonderful, supportive art community. Thirteen pieces have sold and the show has only been open for one week. Janice Horak & Joel Back did a fantastic job of hanging the work. Again, thank you, thank you to everyone.
As a reminder, it will run through December 18th so there's plenty of time to see the show.
