Mostly self-taught, painting and drawing are indeed my true passion. My skills have evolved from natural talent and lots of practice. My painting career got its start through covering the homes of my family and friends with canvasses, plates, wall murals, and any other blank surface that needed a touch of color. I have been blessed with a wonderfully supportive husband, son, family, and close circle of friends that provide a constant source of enthusiasm and ideas. The gift of a portrait is a wonderfully personalized gift, whether the subject be a person, pet, beloved automobile, or a family home place. It is such a wonderful feeling to be able to use my talent to bring joy to others through my ability to capture those things that they hold truly precious. My works are available through various shows throughout the Southeast, at Sac's Gallery, and through my website at www.artbylisalangford.com. SUNDAY, JULY 13, 2 TO 4 PM SAC'S GALLERY 2001 MULBERRY ST EXHIBIT WILL BE ON DISPLAY THROUGH JULY 31. Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Friday, 10-4:30; Saturday, 10-3 ---------------------------- JULY MAILOUT ---------------------------- The July mailout is available online by clicking on the following link: http://www.sacsgallery.org/newsletter-current.html ---------------------------- Visit Our Website at http://www.sacsgallery.org You are receiving this newsletter because you have requested it.
