When the lovely Theresa Andreas-O’leary nominated me to be part of the “3-in-5 challenge,” it got me looking through my portfolio and seeing just how my artwork has evolved over the years. I love to share my process from start to finish in my online classes because I find it so deceiving to just look at a finished painting, not knowing all of the time,... Continue reading
“What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the print I have read in my life.” -Walt Whitman ………… It has been such a gorgeous Fall here in Wisconsin. And I just cannot get over all of the color inspiration. I’ve also been seeing so many owls (and hearing them too). One evening, we had a bonfire in... Continue reading

hey juliette, i'm popping in over from flying lessons. as i am trying to catch up to this week's lessons, i saw your comment about your stencil creations and i knew if i responded on there…you maybe wouldn't see it as i am dayssss late. ok – you might think about fine tuning your stencil designs (they may be perfect now – i just didn't know how far along you are on them), and then taking them out to different art supply companies to try to get them licensed. sort of like all of those folks who created stamps and scrap book papers and then sold/licensed their designs. i know an artist – mary beth shaw, who recently did this with stencils that she designed. check out her blog: mbshaw.blogspot.com and best of luck to you!!!
Those would make me happy too… The cougar on the rock reminds me of playing with my plastic horses like that when I was a child… I always had a heard of mustangs that roamed free in the bushes, along streams and among rocks…
