"Ones To Watch" Watercolor Magic Magazine |
| When the first websites were described in computer magazines, I knew I wanted to have one! Several years later in 1999 I got my first copy of "Front Page", a website designing program, I added a tutorial and a stack of manuals................and they collected dust and fell away to antiquity. I still really, really wanted a website. I bought "Front Page 2003" and a stack of manual and tutorials,...........in 2005. I installed it for the first time in May of 2007, and cram sessions began, almost instantly, to be interrupted by the uncontrollable forces of life. Computers entered into a devious pact of conspiracy. Determination, persistence, and a wallop of stubbornness has begun so reach a degree of fruition, and the first Carol Frye Art website has been launched .- September 2007 |
| Death by Chocolate Ridge Art Association fund raiser was held October 27, 2007. This year’s event l included another “Paint- A-Round” .
