I am so enjoying this spring weather we’re having here in Wisconsin and spending as much time as possible painting outside and soaking in the beauty of the tulips and iris blooming in the garden. It has been so inspiring to see what everyone has been creating and sharing in my new online class Happy Painting – A Mini Course. I just adore the positive... Continue reading
Lately I have been sketching and painting a lot for my upcoming picture book (I can’t wait to share more of it with you soon). To keep myself loose and unattached to my paintings, I’ve been creating in my art journal. I’ve been using some of my favorite art supplies like oil paintsticks, watercolors, papers, pencil and pen. When using oils with water based supplies,... Continue reading

These new Storybook Paintings have also been inspiring me to write... Continue reading

Everywhere I Look, You are Left Behind. (9×12″ on bristol paper) ………. Sometimes a painting takes a few tries and what seem to be mistakes, before I finally find the character. This bear started out looking completely different. I’d been feeling like going back to one of my characters with feathers in her hair. Usually, when I have a character in mind, that is never...

“Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.” -Mary Oliver ……….. I LOVE trying out new art supplies. But I’m not one to spend a lot of money them. I really use them and break them.
