Since I basically couldn't be bothered to take more pictures the lovely Heather Smith-Matthews snapped some great pictures of my CMPA compatriots along with a few random convention pictures. There are even more pictures in the gallery that Heather has online (she is a professional photographer and this is a link to a website):

So many games, so little time
It looks like you all had a great time! And it's so nice to see women at mini painting convention. I envy them right now!!
ReplyDeleteThe Denver conventions have always been a little unusual in the number of women that attend. Unusual enough that manufacturers in the exhibitors' hall have mentioned it. Bringing women into the ranks of painters around here has been pretty easy when you have top notch talent like Lili Troy who has won two GW Slayer Swords, or Marike Reimer who has won darn near everything there is to win. I think that really helps ease the trepidation that other women might have. Plus women are so darn good at it right out of the gate. We will get you there Anne!
