Apala G. Egan is a freelance reporter doing an article about three or so artists in Los Altos that she found in the Silicon Valley Open Studios catalog.   She wanted to know information for beginning artists.  So, I told her about the Los Altos Art Club and Art Ventures, and what kind of papers, brushes, and paints I think are good.
She wanted 2 or 3 of my painting images for her story which will appear in several local newspapers.  I sent her:  Vineyard, Barn with Blue Chicken, and Small Tulips.
