| California on my mind... I had a great time last week visiting OC and Waterhouse Gallery in Santa Barbara. The weather was not typical... apparently it does rain in California! However, it didn't dampen our spirits. There was a paintout in the the courtyard with Molly Schmid and Craig Nelson to name a few. The show was well attended and I had a chance to meet collectors I've known for years and artists such as Nancy Crookston and Andre Kohn. The gallery planned a wonderful dinner after the show and a Sunday morning trolly tour of Santa Barbara. Thanks to Randy Higbee for his champagne and fritatta breakfast!

Reviews & Notes
Hunakai School of Art...I just wanted to say thank you for such a great workshop last week! I just loved it...and needless to say learned SO much. I am hoping you will be teaching again in the fall so I can continue learning and seeing things differently than I have been doing in the past. Pam P.
Harvard Club Soiree...You
were the perfect artist - grace under pressure - to represent Co/So at
NABB Uncorked! last night. Your ability to complete such a gorgeous
painting in 2 hours while also chatting with interested guests was
really amazing. Thanks again, Carolyn Vandam, Copley Society
Salon Night...
I
was invited to demo at the home of a client in Boston's historic Beacon
Hill for a fundraising event. "Dear Eli, your generosity & great
talent is so much appreciated. I hope your ears have been buzzing - you
and your painting of Sarah were a big hit. Many, many thanks for being
part of our COG Salon. Fondly, Linda H
