News Flash


I have received some news you all MAYBE interested in. I entered an acyclic painting in a state wide contest, for the Arkansas Health Care Foundation ( This isn't the picture). Over 100 people living in resident care homes, like Osage Gardens, entered.

I was informed yesterday by a form letter sent to the 14 winners, that we had been chosen to have owr picture on the 2012 calendar.

Katryna, our activity leader, has told me personally, that out of the 14 I have won 1st place. Our pictures will be in the Arkansas capital for the month of Sept.
for all to see. Then they will be sent to the Clinton Museum in Little Rock for s short time, and they will be actioned off to invited bitters only. This money is used to help activities in all state care homes.

Anyway, now I must get busy painting a picture for our Osage Gardens painting ,silent auction in Oct. This money goes to our activities for supplies which we can use, at no charge.

I will not get my picture back, but Katrina is getting me a laser copy of it , Mon.

My head really hasn't grown any.
