Sharon Knettell in Artists Magazine
 

Sharon, the mailman just slipped my Artist's magazine through my door slot. Funny thing, it landed on the floor wide open to a full page about you with a large image of your painting "Alicia Blue!"

Congrats!

Sharon,
You do absolutely incredible work. For all that won't be able to see the picture in the magazine, could you post it here?

Sharon congratulations! Good for you - well-deserved attention! I havent gotten my magazine yet, but Im looking forward to showing my husband and saying - "Look! It's my online color and preliminary sketch nag I told you about!" ;)

Way to go Sharon!! Can't wait to see it.

The painting in Artist's Magazine can be seen here.

Well deserved recognition; a long time coming. You are an exceptionally gifted artist, Sharon.

Sincerely,

Congrats Sharon. Would love to see and read all about it.

Congratulations, Sharon.
Can't wait to see the article!!!

Well deserved, Sharon. Gotta make a trip to the post office and see if I have my copy yet. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Sharon, congratulations! And you kept this so secret until it landed on our doorsteps.

Oh Sharon this is great news! I can't think of anybody who more deserves this accolade. I'm so happy you're getting recognized for your strong and wonderful work.

I think Westerners get these magazines shipped to us on the slow-boat-to-China rate; I'm really looking forward to seeing this article when it shows up. Go Sharon!

Congratulations, Sharon, on the attention. Don't subscribe, but will go buy it!

Best--TE

Since Sharon is out of town for the week, I hope she won't mind if I share the page out of the magazine for those that don't get it.

Bravo Sharon! This is one of my favorites too!

clapclapclapclapclap

I don't have my magazine yet, but you can be assured that I will show it around as I am another "head bangee" of Sharon Knettel!

Issue
 

I have the May issue and it's not in there.....or I'm nuts, Can you reconfirm where this is being published, I'd love to see it!!! Sharon, this is wonderful

You aren't nuts, it is in the June issue.

Hee hee, this made me laugh.

Congratulations Sharon, I am also on the list of people looking forward to reading it.

Keeping it under my hat!
 

Geez,

Thank you all so much. I had heard about this but did not think to mention it, really! I just got back from California and this was such a nice surprise!
Thank you Mary for posting it.

I thought it would appear as a footnote or a postage stamp in the magazine so I did not wave any flags.

You can bet a bought a bunch of the at the Rhode Island
School of Design art store. I left a few for the students. However, judging from the senior student show which looked like a landfill, it will fall on blind eyes.

Fine Taste
 

Oh Boy, I must have such fine taste! As I have expressed to you in writing, Sharon, your work blows me away. I can't wait for my issue to arrive. In this wild west called Arizona, our mail must be delivered via Pony Express.

My absolute favorite live artists so far have won fabulous recognition this year... Chris Saper, Linda Brandon and you, Sharon. I MUST BE ON THE TRACK TO EXCELLENCE! I stand in awe of your inspirational work and aspire to know all that you ALL know... and YESTERDAY! I love this forum! (Thanks be to you, Cynthia.)

Congratulations to all three of you as well all as Tony Pro and all the other wonderful artists going to DC. Thank you for your incredible gifts to us students. I study your work daily and fully expect to learn and improve my work just by exposure to it.

Can't wait for my magazine to arrive via The Arizona Stagecoach Express!

Carol Norton :thumbsup:

Carol,

Actually, Chris, Linda and I are on a secret awards committee and we decided that is was about time we got some awards, darn it!

It really is a happy year and I cannot see it happening to two more deserving and talented ladies who owe all they know to me, no matter what they say.

Thanks again Carol for the praise. One of these days I am going to get the nerve to scan something I did not too long ago. I have been a beneficiary of this forum as well.

I finally got my issue today. Sharon - it looked great! Congratulations. I was rather disappointed though - I was hoping for another photo of you...maybe in a corset and wig.

Congratulations, Sharon
 

Congratulations, Sharon. "Alicia Blue" is so lovely - do you sell prints of this or any of your other work?

Regards,

Edgar

Where is my copy!!%^$*^#$^*$

I so look forward to actually reading about this piece. I am so very thrilled for you.!

I'm with Chris on uttering a series of expletives; it doesn't seem to have arrived in the local Borders bookstore, yet. Unless it already did, and they sold out. Plenty of ArtForums, though. Yuck.

Well, this certainly doesn't mean I can't congratulate Sharon on this fantastic accolade. The exposure from this! Just wonderful, wonderful news. I'm very happy for you, Sharon. The future looks good, if not really busy!

Chris, Edgar, Kim and Rob,

I was thrilled to the gills when I saw it, to say the least. I went to the RISD store to buy a bunch of copies, I don't get the magazine but I think I will suscribe now!

Thanks for your kind words. I do not have any prints of it.
