Art Unraveled – Part 2

Yesterday I took a very good class with Barbara Roth called, “Creating Whimsical Watercolor Compositions”. It was a relaxing environment, with just five students and the instructor in a nice intimate classroom. In the morning we did a directed exercise. We went through all the steps together and started off with the same basic drawing [...]

Art Unraveled Day 1

Yesterday was my first class at Art Unraveled. I’m only taking a few classes so I can recuperate between classes and I don’t end up completely exhausted. Yesterday’s class was Two Art Quilts Two with Jane LaFazio. Angie, Joanne and I all took it together, which was a nice surprise! It was a great way [...]

A busy week

Wow. I started writing this on Friday and it’s Saturday… Oh, well! And it’s August! Sheesh! Where did the summer go? This weekend is the kick-off of Art Unraveled and Joanne is in town. I’m heading out to see her in a while. It seems like just a few weeks ago I was meeting Joanne [...]

One more Paris Post

One more post about Paris. While there, I did take care to relax a lot between activities. It’s a walking city, so I was glad to have my cane. But I needed to be very mindful about my energy. And so I spent a lot of time in our hotel room. There was not much [...]

France Travel Journal, Part 3

Here is the third installment of the Paris part of our trip to France. Grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea and settle in, since it’s a marathon! But there are actual drawings this time, so art abounds! And we’re off… So, after we got rained on – again – and headed to our [...]

CreativeTherapy – Catalyst 18

Bon Jour, mis amis! Sunday again! That means it’s time for CreativeTherapy! If this works as it’s supposed to, I’m currently bidding “Au revoir!” to France and I’m on my way back home to the States! I’m also probably exhausted, so I don’t know when I’ll be able to give you a “live” update. But, [...]

Final Preparations for France

I can’t believe it’s almost here! Monday we leave for France! I’ve had a mixture of feelings about this trip – anxiety about being in a strange country and with limited knowledge of the language; excitement at the idea of seeing France; trepidation about the flight, since I don’t know how it will affect my [...]

Painting again

Today I decided to sit in the studio. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do, but I was getting sick of the den and I needed to be back in the studio, with all my creative “stuff”. I thought I’d just clear my desk and sit and draw, but then I talked with [...]
