There will be a LIVE YouTube show today. Yes and Yes!!

Another colorful bird will be this week's theme. Ginger takes on a very colorful long, tailed peacock painted in a Monet style.

Join us for the premiere here at 5:30 Central - https://youtu.be/ITJ1Cqq1KNo

We'd like to extend a huge thank you to all who participated in the Gazette survey. Your feedback has been heard loud and clear, and we are now sending out the Gazette at 12:30 pm Central on Mondays. Additionally, several of the other requested features have been added. If you have any more ideas, please let us know - we'll do our best to incorporate them.

We offered two sizes this year and plan on the same for next. We were only able to offer the larger to the North America market but will see what we can do for next year.

Look for more great paintings in next year's calendar...we have already designed over 30 lessons for this year! and many more to come.

We will be expanding our downloadable lesson library for those that just want to purchase a lesson or two.

Okay, we have not added anything new this time, but we have some great designs and ideas that are in the works and will be released soon.

Just a reminder that our 2023 Calendar will be on sale only through the month of January, and will be removed from our store February 1, 2023.

You can check out the beautiful paintings included in the calendar at https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dFUWCuN_6Ys

Each year, we will produce a calendar available through January of the year it's for.

Here are some more examples that Ginger was able to paint while traveling in Australia.

These three paintings are a sneak peek at some of the video tutorials that will be coming to the academy this year. We will be focusing on creating "pairs" of paintings; these flower market paintings are the perfect example. We are sure that these tutorials will provide helpful guidance and allow you to create beautiful pieces of art that you can be proud of.

Get ready because these tutorials will be coming soon!

For those that have made donations in the past, we really do appreciate it very, very much. It has made the world of difference to numerous students and helped them with more than their artwork.

Please feel free to use the two links above to make donations and this year, we will be having a drawing for a Ginger Cook original painting at the end of each quarter. We "pull" a ticket from a bowl, and the lucky winner has a pick from 4 paintings.

We will have 3 drawings each quarter and for each $25 you donate during the quarter, you will have a ticket in the "bowl". The more you donate, the more tickets you will have in the bowl.

Our quarters are:

• December 1 to February 28
• March 1 to May 31
• June 1 to August 31
• September 1 to November 31

Even if you are not wanting to purchase any art supplies, going through our Amazon affiliate link, will help us and it does not cost you anymore. Every little bit helps. Thank you!

Purple Members - Those of you who responded to our previous requests to Contact Us should have received the first Royal Purple Member Digest; please check for this first issue!

Other Purple Members will receive their first email after we have worked through any problems or suggestions received about the new Royal Purple Member website. We hope to have that ready later this week.

This week, we are offering a 25% discount on the downloadable tutorial of Aunt Lorainne's lesson for everyone. We will also offer this same deal on Aunt Edna's tutorial. Non-members can take advantage of this offer, while Purple Members can receive an additional 5% discount if they ask for a special coupon code before purchasing. This offer is valid for one week after the lesson is released.

For clarity...you do NOT have to be a member of the Academy for this discount, but if you are a Purple Member, you can receive 30% off, but you have to ask for a special discount coupon code before purchasing.

Remember, for 2023, we will offer this one week of special pricing on the downloadable lesson of the released tutorial provided a downloadable is offered.
