This week’s words from MY Word Bowl are: her hair cheerfully sending love I love to sketch and paint girls with long flowing hair, so these words instantly inspired me and I created this mixed media journal spread. If this week’s words inspire you to create something too, I’d love if you […]
Here’s a sweet little mixed media girl I painted a few weeks ago. I have a few unfinished pieces on my table and now that I’m over the flu, I can’t wait to get back to painting.
A much more colorful piece of art to share with you today. I painted this last week while following a Paint Your Heart and Soul 2018 lesson by Mystelle Kirkeeng. You create a mixed media background and then find a face or picture in the paint. This is something I have always enjoyed doing with […]
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.

Be Your Own Angel I was inspired to paint this angel by a Life Book 2016 lesson by Ivy Newport. It was suggested to make it a paint over of a ‘selfie’ to make it a self portrait. Obviously, I did not do a self portrait and my interpretation of the lesson is different. […]
From My Word Bowl 8 – A Work in Progress Hi everyone. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week. Sorry for being a day late with my word bowl words.. I had a few technical problems that had to be solved before I could post, but all is good now. I love this week’s […]
Does This Ever Happen To You? Does a painting ever take over your creative process to the extent that you can’t work on, or think about painting anything else? I’ve been dealing with this for the last couple of weeks. Ten days ago, (ten days ago!) I posted this photo of a work in progress […]
30 Paintings in 30 Days – Days 6 and 7 Day 6 This one is titled, ‘Faith’ and was inspired by this week’s Life Book 2016 lesson by Angela Kennedy. Day 7 I was hungry when I started painting. Don’t paint when you’re hungry or you’ll end up with a quick, […]
