Oh, I meant to mention the Art Show at the Commons, an Uncommon Workplace this Sunday, the 25th from 3 to 5.  The "Commons" (not the park area, but a shared office space building) just behind the post office in Excelsior will be the venue.  It will showcase artwork of the participating artists in the Lake Minnetonka Studio Tour which will be held May 2 and 3rd.  Come by Sunday - I'd love to say Hi to you - and of course you are always welcome to come by my own gallery - I've got a whole lot to look at these days! 
Best, Marla

Hi - hope your New Year is going very well.  I've been busy painting up a storm and starting a new business!  I've wanted to share my love for art all my life and I've found a wonderful way to do that. It's fun, creative, non-judging and taps into wonderful group energy playing together!  It is called Art Via Vino.  It combines my love for art, people and wine ;0 } !   I've had about 12 Art Via Vino events so far and am just loving it.  Check it out, the website is www.ArtViaVino.com

I am also launching a corporate sister venture which is called Art on Purpose - it will have the  same upbeat, non judging, creative flavor, but will focus a little more on team building and collaborating.  Alcohol will be optional for both Art Via Vino and Art on Purpose.  Please check it out on the website or on facebook. 

I'm so enthused about doing these events! You'll have a selection of 18 paintings to paint - or your very own idea if it's a private party -  all materials and an apron will be provided, wine or beer will be available as well as appetizers.  I have them at various locations around Lake Minnetonka, depending on the group size.  I gladly do house parties, and in the case of a corporate group, we can do them on or off site.  I have gift certificates available, which is a very fun and unique gift....I'm thinking a Valentines event would be fun...
Take good care - best to you, Marla
