Here is a colorful, messy acrylic painting which I painted while trying to follow Tracy Verdugo’s lesson in Paint Your Heart and Soul 2018. I really like the girl and love the way her hair and headdress turned out. The background wasn’t totally successful. (backgrounds are always hard for me) It is far too messy […]
Morning warm up with a quick painting and a limited palette. Tried to keep it quick and loose. Now I’m moving into messy, colorful, abstract backgrounds. Having fun! What are you doing this morning?
My Little Bliss List (Remembering the things that made me happy this week, because it’s so easy to forget them.) Shine Brightly That’s the name of this painting… The night sky out here is amazing. It’s filled with stars. I love looking up at them. It’s awe inspiring. This city mouse turned country mouse will […]
Painting From Another Inspiration Stack I enjoyed painting from the inspiration stack, which I shared with you last week, so much, that I decided to do it again. I loved the words in the text piece of paper: “Waiting in the wings. Awash in feather she could easily be princess turned into swan”. […]

Two Girls Two Girls is the result of this week’s Life Book 2016 lesson with Jane Davenport and Tamara Laporte. It really spoke to me because I am so comfortable with the mix or ‘jam’ as they called it of their two styles. We were asked to use limited supplies of our choice. I chose pencil, […]
Hi everyone! Here are are my fifteenth and sixteenth paintings for the month. Both were done with water colors, acrylic and ink. The first one I also wrote a few notes to myself on the background before I started in graphite before I started, which peek through in spots. Thank you so much for having […]
