Susan Scheewe Brown & Stan Brown

American Public Television Convention

The week after filming we went to a convention for American Public Television held in Houston, Texas this year. As you can see Sue is with Rick Steves attending a function for the station programmers. Those who are having new shows attend along with the producers and sponsors.

Sue was asked to sit in on this photo shoot using different talent seen on the Create Channel.

Jeff is the station manager of the Detroit  Public Television station where Sue films here series.

Sue is in her booth with Jeff and Wyland, the marine artist.

Sue and friend. Actually they have a few cartoon characters that draw attention to the many booths at the show.

Sue is with Warren Wright and his wife. Warren manages the station at Washington State University. Sue first met Warren in Hunnington Beach, Ca. where she filmed her first series.
     It is a privilege to be part of this presentation. Your support and calls to the stations is important as it allows them to know the interest of their viewers.

Filming A New Television Series for Public Broadcasting

In November, we went to Detroit to film a new series for the PBS television stations and also to be aired on the Create Channel. Check with your local station for a time to see the Scheewe Art Workshop.

This is Sue's floor manager, Fred. He is a retired policeman with the the Detroit Police Force. He does a great job of keeping Sue aware of her time.

This picture has Sue with Dawn Knowles, the producer of Scheewe Art Workshop.

The photos are of filming during the series. Stan takes the still shots for the shows and I realize we need to get him in more photos with me as he is always there to give me support.

Trip to the Coast

    In early September Sue and I went to Cannon Beach, Oregon for the Labor Day weekend. At that time of the year the elk start to come down from the hills for better feeding grounds. Often, they will hang around all day. They let you get very close and the opportunity to photograph the beautiful animals in natural surroundings is plentiful.

The weather was beautiful and as you can see it was warm enough to be in shirtsleeves.

Actually, we had Sue's mother, Birdie, who is 94 and one of our daughters, Camille and her husband , Greg stay with us for the whole weekend. It is so quite and relaxing to listen to the ocean and watch all the natural wonders of the area.

Heart of Ohio Tole Show August 2008

    We are going to try to catch up with some of the great activities that we had this fall and start of the new year. We also plan to put some paintings up for sale, show painting tips and beautiful photos of some wonderful painting locations.

The first photos are of our friends from France and Ros Stallcup at the HOOT Convention. Vernique and her husband, Francoise, have a painting studio in France. We plan to go there sometime in the future to have a special workshop. We all hope to meet again at the HOOT Convention held in Columbus, Ohio again this August where Sue will be teaching several classes.  Ros, Stan and myself will be working the booth together and always enjoy visiting with other painters and dear friends.
