New Painting

I’ve been painting again! It’s been great to have the brush in my hand on a regular basis. This one is finished. And Dave has claimed it for his office! I had started this canvas a while ago, but until I went to the Chihuly exhibit, I wasn’t sure what was going to happen with [...]

Creative Every Day This Week

Wow. It’s been a busy week, filled with creative endeavors. There is so much to share! This first painting I worked on for several hours yesterday. It has been a work in progress for well over a year. It started as a grid-based painting, in which I added some garnet gel and some gesso for [...]

Art Every Day Month – Lace Woman – Final

I am so excited to have completed this painting. I thought I was done on Saturday, but I showed my dear friend, Tracey, the painting and she mentioned that the tree was fighting with the face for attention. So, I used some Payne’s Gray to push it back into the background. I’m much happier with [...]

Art Every Day Month – WIP Day 2

Here is today’s progress on the face I’m painting for Embrace the Face! I reworked the background, added some detail to the face, and I collaged on the lace for the challenge. I think the face is more youthful than it was last time. I’m happier with it today, but it’s time to let it [...]

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 [...]

Back in the swing

Well, now that you’ve read of my trip to France, and I’ve documented that, I’m happy to share that I’ve been doing other things the past week. I’ve been preparing for Art Unraveled. Five or six of my art friends are coming into town and we’re looking forward to a great week with them. I’ve [...]

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 [...]

Feeling creative again

Thank you all for your kind notes and thoughts over the past few days. They mean a lot. I spent Wednesday with Angie and her son Max. Max came over to swim and Angie and I got to do some artwork. I was not quite up for doing much, so I just doodled in my [...]

Anniversary, Birthday & Art

Yesterday Dave and I celebrated our 16th Anniversary. I can remember the first time I talked with him and the first time I saw him. We were set up on a blind date by a classmate of his with whom I worked part-time (to pay for the car that I had to have for my [...]
