My thanks to the folks at Blick Art Supply (www.dickblick.com) for honoring me by selecting one of my dailies, "New and Used #5", for the cover of their 2011-2012 annual catalog. I tried to play it cool, but must admit I was pretty excited when it showed up in my mailbox.

Congratulations Don! When did you get your copy? Please tell me it's not the catalog I threw out weeks ago!
congratulations Don!
How exciting, Don! This is one Blick catalog I'll have to keep.
Very nice painting, I can see why they chose it!
How Wonderful! I would recognize your work anywhere and you should do the "happy Dance" for getting a cover. The people at Blick have great taste!
Heartiest Congratulations Don! I recognized your artwork immediately when I received my catalog Tuesday,great painting!
Congratulations, Don!!! What an honor to be featured - and no wonder you are excited. Being appreciated NEVER gets old. WOO HOO!
I love this and when I saw it wondered if it was yours. I would love to have one of your brush paintings for my studio. Maybe this year.
Ahh I didn't realize that was you on the cover! Very cool! You're allowed to get excited! Congrats.
So they gave you the BIG bucks for this honor?
Hey, congrats Don! You do the best brush paintings I think I have ever seen.
I received the catalog also, Don! The cover looks fantastic! Congrats!
When I received my Dick Blick catalog, I was admiring the cover. I didn't realize it was your painting! It's gorgeous.
Congratulations, Don! Beautiful!!!
Morning Mr. Famous,
Wow! Short of having the work hanging in the Louvre, this is huge!
Congratulations, Don. They made the correct and brilliant choice.
Sincerely,
Gary.
PS Yesterday, I was in Art Media downtown and found out they're becoming a Blick store and moving to the Pearl District, not far from the Utrecht shop.
HA--thanks, Linda.:)

Don, display it proudly! Job well done. Your painting transforms this from catalog to rare first edition.

Got the catalogue and thought, "My, what a wonderful cover."
I've been kinda busy so it was only today that I visited your blog, saw your post, and understood just why the cover was so instantly appealing.
I'm late, but I think it's great. Blick picked a winner.
Boy, I sure like the cover on my new Dick Blick catalog! Great job, congratulations!
