		<title>At Long Last</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A post!
I&#8217;ve been a bad blogger. I can&#8217;t remember the last time I sat down and typed up a post. Well, I&#8217;ve been busy! No excuses here, just busy and not in a mood to share.
But, I have a lot of art to share, so over the next few posts, I will share it. Here [...]]]></description>

		<title>so much for posting more&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, it didn&#8217;t take long for me to fail miserably at posting more frequently. But I&#8217;ve felt a need to just be quiet and to focus on my health, my home, and well, not share. I&#8217;m trying to get out of that funk, writing in my personal journal, but it&#8217;s a process, as many of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Something different</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I interrupted my painting progress for a bit. I&#8217;ve been taking an online class with Susan Sorrell on Personal Symbols. I have always been intrigued by her work and I&#8217;ve also always found embroidery a very relaxing and healing thing to do. So, when I saw about her class, I decided to take it. Six [...]]]></description>

		<title>Painting Progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are more photos of the Baptistry.
The first was taken after I completed my early-afternoon work on it.
I waited for the paint to dry and an hour later, I came back in and did more work.
I don&#8217;t expect to be able to do any work on it today. We&#8217;re going to a Bat Mitzvah and [...]]]></description>

		<title>More to share</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nature Inspired: Mixed-Media Techniques for Gathering, Sketching, Painting, Journaling, and Assemblage arrived in my studio late last night from Tracie Lyn Huskamp of the Red Door Studio. I pre-ordered her book because, knowing Tracie, I knew the book would be fantastic. And, I was right! Tracie&#8217;s calming, soothing personality comes through in the book &#8211; through [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The past few weeks have been filled with art and friends. The annual Art Unraveled mixed-media art retreat was here in Phoenix. Linda Young always does a fabulous retreat here in town. She pays so much attention to detail and I know how happy the instructors are, as well as the students. Each year since [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some painting to share</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been busy with life and painting! And so I want to focus on the painting today because it&#8217;s what I enjoy. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I&#8217;m still going through my Italy sketches and photos for inspiration for my paintings. I&#8217;ve been working on this one for a while. It&#8217;s based on [...]]]></description>
