I was very please and honored to be the Editor's Choice in the Summer Edition of Startists. Startists is an international art magazine featuring contemporary women in art. It came out in May 2018 and can be purchased on Amazon.
Check out this new book by Jeff Goins, which just came out last week. It’s going to be a game changer. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0718086260/ref=as_li_tl… This looks like a great book to keep me on track... though according to my waistline... I don't have to worry about starving.
Just a few photos of the beautiful places we went to during the workshop. Unfortunately I left my phone behind and didn't get photos of McCloud. I just got home from a three day plein air workshop with Stefan Baumann and found this wonderful article by John Pototoschnik on Jim McVicker. Hopefully this link will let me share it.

2017 A brand new me.....Where has the time gone. I have taken time off to paint.... and I also discovered Facebook. You can also see a sampling of my art at Sharon Crabill Art on Facebook and often just on my wall Sharon Kay Miller Crabill. But I am working on being more faithful to my web site. And if you are out there reading this, I encourage comments. I guess that is why I like Facebook. I get so much encouragement in my painting that I just want to paint...paint... paint. Web sites can be a lonely place. So what have I been up to.... ? I entered three little paintings into the North Valley Art League Small Painting Show (January 10 ~ February 4, 2017) and had all three accepted. The Juror was Andrew Patterson-Tutschka. The paintings accepted in were: Happy Hour, Vine Ripe and Allium Sativum. You can find them under my Still Life page. And... to my delight, I received an Award of Merit on my painting, "Vine Ripe". 2016 - I entered this little painting "Hat Creek" into the Juried National Show at North Valley Art League. It was the first time I had the courage to enter a National Show. I was extremely honored to get it accepted in. I took Stefan Baumann's Plein Air Workshop in Mt. Shasta. I got to stay with my wonderful artist friend Kris. It was so much fun being out in nature and just painting The workshop was fabulous.
