Day 4 – Glorious Possibilities

Another watercolor girl.  I think the heat has influenced my painting and made me paint her to be so light and airy and summery cool. The words read: “every once in a while              should she imagine?                        glorious possibilities  […]

Day Three – Brimful

Brimful My third face and painting, ‘Brimful’.  Watercolor, ink and acrylic on 9×12 140 lb cold pressed watercolor paper. Thirty Paintings in 30 Days

Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 1

It’s September!  I know everyone thinks of autumn once September rolls around, but here we’re still in the middle of summer, with temperatures over 90 degrees all this week.  I have to confess I am looking forward to some cooler weather. Again, this year, I’m taking part in Leslie Saeta’s challenge to do Thirty Paintings […]

Artist Appreciation Month

This month is Artist Appreciation Month!  Did you know?  I wasn’t aware of it until recently, when I learned of if through another artist, Patience Brewster. If you have followed my blog for more than a year, you’ll know that one thing that I enjoy doing is introducing you to other artists.  Seeing as this […]

Keep Moving Forward

Sometimes, like Alice does in Wonderland, ‘I give myself very good advice but I very seldom follow it.” So…. let’s just say for the past weeks, I’ve been telling myself I should be blogging, but I haven’t been listening to myself. After a very intensive stretch of working for Sympatico Studio (which I really did […]

New Art – The Beekeeper

Back in February, I did a sketch for 29 Faces.  Last week, when I had little bits of time, I finally painted it.  It’s called The Beekeeper. It’s worked in watercolor, acrylic, collage, and ink on 9 X 12 140 lb cold press water color paper.  The actual painting is much softer, more pastel, and […]

29 Faces – Face 2

For my second face, I finally did the first week’s lesson of Life Book 2015, Beacon of Light. Of course it took on a life of it’s own and although influenced by Tam’s beautiful art, looks so different from the painting in the lesson.  I’ll probably end up doing another or others. Believe in Yourself […]

29 Faces – Face 1 Sherry Malone

When I realized that the 29 Faces Challenge February 2015 was already underway, I had to stop and evaluate where time had gone and what the heck I’d been doing that made me go through the whole month of January without getting paint on my hands every day.  (I have done art, but it’s been […]
