A few weeks ago, I shared this sneak peek of a painting I did for the Enchanted Visions theme, The Gateway, with my Facebook followers. I couldn’t share the whole painting because Enchanted Visions hadn’t published it yet on their site. I’m happy to say that they have published it and now I can share with […]
I thought I’d let you know that, yes, I am still painting during all these wonderful artist interviews. I hope you are enjoying the features, I know I am. I painted this pretty girl last night. I think her hair was inspired by the howling winds outside my window. They are still howling this morning! […]
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 […]
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 […]
Thirty? Thirty. Three, Zero. 30 in thirty days. This really is a challenge, especially for someone as new to painting as I am. I got to thinking… after thirty paintings, in thirty days, I won’t be so new. I’ll be more practiced and all because I decided to jump in with both feet and take […]
We’re in the middle of a heat wave, with daily temperatures in the nineties. It’s not a sunny heat wave. It’s a rainy one. It’s humid, so humid, and raining so hard I think we are in the middle of a monsoon. If the sun was out, it would be drier, but the temperatures would […]
Today I’d love to show you two new little aceos/atcs that I did for art swaps. They’ve been sent and received by their new owners, so I’m not ruining any surprises. This first one, done with ink and colored pencils, was for an Alice in Wonderland theme. There had to be one red heart in […]

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 […]
This week, I did two pieces of art for Summer of Color The colors for Week 5 are Royal Blue and Red and a smudge, splash or pop of Light Blue. The first is this girl wrapped up in Red Ribbons. She was done with ink, white acrylic and colored pencils. The second piece started […]
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 […]
