Thank you so much for the past few weeks Carla. For the first time in my life, I have been making some art that I love. I have your drawing lab winging it’s way to me as I type. As I wasn’t lucky enough to win your new book I have ordered it this morning! x

Well on this fine Columbus Day (Explorer Day), I went out with my son for lunch since he skipped going to his University and after helping him find some items for a graphic design project, we popped into Barnes and Noble and I bought your new book!!!! First I didn’t see it and I went back and checked their computer to see if there was one in stock and the computer said yes, so the hunt was on. It was downs a way from your first book which I have too. I was tickled pink to find it. Had to buy since I did not win one!!!! : )

Thank you and Savannah again. I am looking forward to snow days with A drawing fun critters from your book. Mostly I want to thank you for being such a generous and inspiring artist. Your posts are always filled with eye candy and you share so much of your technique and art with us all, I always come away with a smile, an idea, and the urge to draw. Thank you. Have fun on your trip! Perhaps a little Liam time, too?

Thanks, Carla, for such a wonderful way to celebrate the launch of your book and the way you’ve allowed us all to get to know your friends in art! I am enjoying the new book already, also the work of other artists. But the two week blog hop has added a lot more fun. Do enjoy Colorado! I hope it will bring you loads of fun. Happy silly drawing!
PS It was so wonderful to get to know an artist from my own country – the Netherlands – through all this.
Hail to the squeen!

Carla, these last couple of weeks have been so much fun reading other people’s blogs and experimenting with your tutorials.Winning a copy of your book was trememdously exciting for me and you cannot believe how much I appreciate it. Chances are it will arrive just before I head off for a 5 day retreat to house and cat sit on a little island off the one I live on – nothing to do but paint and paint all day!
May I wish you extraordinary success with your new book. Thank you again so very, very much.

Thanks so much for these wonderful posts for your Blog Celebration! I enjoyed reading all the posts and shared the tutorials with my daughter. I will have to put Imaginary Animals on my Christmas List . . . well, probably not – that’s way too long to wait! I hope you have a great time in Colorado. I am missing you by just one week. My kids have off a few days the end of next week and we’ll be in CO then. I’ll bring my paints, nonetheless!
