  1. I look forward to receiving American Watercolor Weekly. It always provides me with something to think about.

    Your article about Kate Freeman Clark is appreciated. I’m guessing that there were many women artists who sacrificed their goals for the good of the family and it happens still today. Women artists must work harder, smarter and must market themselves fiercely in order to move ahead. Thank you for providing interesting and well balanced themes in this weekly newsletter. I recommend it to my students all the time.
