To the dreamer, everything is possible. This piece was inspired by our first true spring day with blue skies and little fluffy clouds. The message is so fitting right now, as I am up to my elbows in seeds and planting and organising for our other projects here at home and still trying to practice […]
Shine Your Light Done on 9 x 12 mixed media paper with acrylics, Faber Castell Pitt pens and brush pens, Faber Castell Gel Sticks, gesso and gel medium. This wasn’t what I had in mind when I started this. Totally different and I really like her. She began to develop when I added the collar […]
Get swept away in your imagination. Let it bloom. I’m working on being more comfortable with my painting. What looks like a mistake doesn’t have to be, or it can be painted over. When I work digitally, I always have the security of the undo or delete a layer. I have to get comfortable working […]
A new girl I painted over the weekend. I cut her out when I finished painting her. I painted a background page and added her to it, along with some scraps, sentiments and washi tape. I painted over it more than once. I struggle with mixed media backgrounds so this was a great exercise for […]
Hello My Friends! I can’t believe it’s been almost one year since I last spoke with you all. Obviously, I’ve had a lot going on in that time and while I haven’t been creating art as much as I would have liked to, I have set the ground work for new happenings in my life […]

Coffee and artwork. My favorite way to start the morning. Today’s art was inspired by my sister and her husband’s Jack Russell Terriers. Jack Russell Terrier by Tori Beveridge The paint splatters were done on purpose, because Jack Russells are such bouncy little things, I’m sure they’ve caused their share of spilled coffee and tea.

Day 20 of Art Every Day Month. When I was a little girl, I had a set of dog magnets. One was a black Scottish Terrier and one was white. I hadn’t heard of Westies then, but I think the white was supposed to be a West Highland terrier. I loved playing with the magnets, […]
Today is Day 18 of Art Every Day Month. I’ll be spending my day sketching and doodling for tomorrow’s Crudoodle and will be sharing that with you tomorrow morning. What I’d like to talk about is yesterday… Yesterday, I woke up at 2:30 a.m.! Yes, I know. I don’t know why I woke up then, […]
