“Brush With Nature’s Palette”
WPW is happy to present our members with a very special opportunity. We are planning a new Virtual Exhibition – “Brush With Nature’s Palette”. Those artists selected for the show can choose to have their work only in the Virtual Exhibition, or, in addition, may have their work displayed in a unique and charming shop, MULBERRY ROW, in Sherman Oaks. The shop presently has about 40+ paintings hanging there and they frequently sell. Since the shop is a florist/vintage clothing and distinctive gift shop, they are very busy during the Valentine's Day season, so it’s a perfect time to be there!
Mulberry Row
13327 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks – (818) 788-8285
