PSA

No, PSA doesn't necessarily mean "Public Service Announcement" -- though perhaps you might call this entry one.

PSA means "Pastel Society of America," and if you are awarded Signature Membership, you are permitted to add these three letters at the end of your name when you sign paintings. It's a prestigious thing.

I am proud to say that I have just been awarded Signature Membership. This was a goal for 2006. (Hey, it's only February!)

To see some of the latest pastels, please visit my Southwest section on my web site. (Sorry, no new plein air work this week! I've been painting studio oils.)
