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.

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
