Savannah named "Best Southern City"

I painted "Blooming Victory", an oil painting of my Savannah home in the spring when our beautiful live oak trees (with spanish moss) tower over the masses of azaleas all over the city. It is no wonder, then, that Savannah has just been named to Southern Living Reader's Choice list as "Best Southern City!" Within the last few months, Savannah was also named as a top travel city by Travel & Leisure and Conde Nast Traveler magazines. So, come see us - we are the destination of choice among the most discerning travelers! If you are interested in visiting Savannah, please contact the Savannah Area Convention and Visitors Bureau at savannahvisit.com and they will help you plan your trip! And when you come, please visit me at my Gallery 9 in City Market (savannahcitymarket.com)! You may want to purchase a print of "Blooming Victory" or several of my famous Savannah scenes either on canvas or fine art paper...see you in Savannah!! (suegouseinspirations.com)

Just look at all the accolades Savannah has received recently!!!!!

Note Card News

Here are some great ideas for my packs of 6 different note cards made from my oil paintings:
1. Send thank you or special notes on them.
2. Frame them for a small works collection or collage. (They won't fade for a long time.)
3. Gift them, or add them to a gift basket. Great for secretaries or boss days or get well gifts.
4. Use them for favors at a wedding or bridge party. (My Savannah Scenes packs are great
for wedding favors depicting special venues.)
5. Use them for business correspondence with your information &/or logo on the back of each
card (small set up charge).
6. Use them for scrapbooking (they are acid free).
7. Use them for invitations or Christmas cards (small set up charge to print the information
inside the card).

I can make note cards from commissioned paintings, too, for special, individualized stationery.
I have over 20 different themed packages of cards - from beaches to mountains, oceans to lakes, cities to landscapes, people to wildlife. Take your pick! And the best part is the 6 card package with envelopes is only $12.50!!

A Christmas Greeting

"In the beginning was the Word, and Word was with God, and the Word was God...In Him was life, and life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness...And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory..." -John I: 1-5, 14

May you know Christ's love and walk in His light this Christmas season and throughout the coming year.

This 11x14 original oil painting by me, "City Market Studio," will be donated to the American Diabetes Association to be auctioned at their fabulous "Artfully Done" fundraiser to be held Thursday, February 5th at a stunning private home in Ardsley Park (32 E. 65th St.) in Savannah. Many Savannah area artists have contributed works to be auctioned that night. Delicious food and drinks will be served at the party.
