Tell us a little about yourself.I’m a self taught fantasy/fairy artist working mainly with watercolour and coloured pencil. I tried other mediums and other genres (landscapes, surrealism) but somehow I always end up […]
My theme this past week seemed to have been centered on farms and freshness, thanks to Junelle’s Farmers Market Yum and Art Workshop. This is the last week for it and I am slowly working through it and savoring every project. I love it! The nice thing about it is even though this initial workshop […]
Week 6. The final week. How fast these six weeks went by. It really is true that time flies when you’re having fun. Our colors for this last week were raspberry and tangerine, with a smudge, splash, or pop of lemon. I will miss these deliciously colorful art prompts that inspired all those that […]
Over on Angela Kennedy’s Community, Creative Souls, I took part in an ATC swap. The theme was Alice in Wonderland. Have I ever mentioned I love Alice in Wonderland? I have adored the books, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass since I was a child and have read and reread them more […]
Pink and Apple Green, with a smudge, splash or a pop of dark green. Such luscious, girly-girl colors for this week at Summer of Color. Pinks and greens together, always make me think of flowers, so it’s no surprise that flowers are included in what I did this week. The first thing I did was […]

The colors for Week 2 of Summer of Color 4 are Coral and Teal with smudge, splash or pop of Bright White. Love, love, love these colors! I’m in love with painting faces lately, so I did a girl with a sweet little owlet. I used Faber Castel Gel Sticks and Acrylics, stamps, tissue paper, […]
Collector of Memories Loose journal page Mixed media using Faber Castel Gel Sticks, acrylic paint, gesso, stamps, tissue paper, etc., on 9×12 water color paper. The message: “Everyday moments become cherished memories” “collector of memories” “Remember the wonderful parts” I started this to practice relaxing about “messy looking” backgrounds. … I made myself stay away […]
Recently I picked up Julie Nutting’s book, Collage Couture. I love the book and I love her collage girls. This inspiration block was my first attempt at it. This block also marked the first time that I actually loved the background that I created with torn papers and paint. While I like the girl […]
I love fantasy art and my digital work is full of fairies and elves, so I guess a fairy was bound to make her appearance in my doodle/sketch book sooner or later. She wasn’t a serious sketch. She was a “just to doodle”, doodle, just for me, while I was watching television. I started with […]
