Reflections and Brushstrokes

Celebrating Milestones and Embracing Future Hues

Dear Artistic Souls,

Recently, we celebrated a milestone very dear to my heart – my first wedding anniversary with Jon – with a palette of joy and an offer as unique as the occasion: an unprecedented half-off sale on any of our over 400 downloadable lessons. The response was like a triumphant splash of color on a fresh canvas, with many of you seizing the opportunity to enhance your art libraries.

Yet, in the wake of this vibrant celebration, I've heard whispers of disappointment from some of our members who missed out on this offer. It disheartens me that not all could partake in this anniversary celebration. The fleeting nature of a flash sale is much like the ephemeral quality of light in a sunset painting – here for a moment and gone before we know it.

The announcement was made on Monday, October 30, with the sale dazzling us on November 1 for a total of 24 hours, Central Time. It was a moment as unique as the union it honored, meant to share a piece of my joy with all of you in the most heartfelt way I know – through the art of teaching.

I cannot paint over the disappointment some of you have expressed, but I can offer a new perspective: let's view this as a valuable lesson in the art of staying connected. Our YouTube Gazette is the frame through which we present the vibrant spectrum of our offerings, and staying attuned to its contents ensures you'll be ready when the next brushstroke of opportunity sweeps across our shared canvas.

The importance of being interwoven with our art community, especially through our Free Facebook Club, cannot be overstated. It's like a continuous art class where lessons and exclusive updates are always in session.

And let's not forget, the easel of opportunity still holds an enticing canvas for the end of the year – for those who renew or decide to upgrade to an Annual Membership, a treasure trove of benefits awaits. Renewing or Upgrading includes not just the practicality of two months free but the inspiration of a Ginger Cook original painting, ensuring that the art we cherish continues to echo in our creative spaces.

So, while the shades of this particular sale have dried, the future holds a myriad of colors yet to be mixed. Let's make a pact to stay informed and connected, ensuring that when the next flash of inspiration strikes, every single one of us is ready to dip our brushes in and create something beautiful together.

Until then, keep your palette fresh and your brushes at the ready!

Warmly and with a splash of anticipation,
