Title: Serendipity. Prints available in my etsy shop. On any Wednesday evening you can usually find me at the movies. Brian’s alt-country band Ghost Town Council practices at our place and even with his new soundproof room (which means I can be painting in my studio while they play), I can’t give up my movie night. It’s the one night a week I leave open... Continue reading
TITLE: Forever Young. Prints available in my etsy shop There’s a HUGE part of me that just wants to curl up and hide whenever I face left-brained activities like time management, planning and organization. I’ve been calling all of that stuff work, so of course it becomes work, even though the task-master side of me thrives on it all and feels like such an achiever... Continue reading
Since I’ve been having so much fun playing with all of my hand cut stencils, I thought you’d like to try one too! At the end of this post, there’s a cute dragonfly to download just for you! Print it out on 8.5 X 11 inch typing paper, cut it out and you’re ready to go! For my new paintings, I am using spray paint... Continue reading
TITLE: World Traveler. The Original Mixed Media Painting is available in my etsy shop. I finally signed up for a yoga class. I have this funny thing with yoga, that I’ve never liked taking classes, yet they’re always good for me. My first class was with this crazy drill sergeant type (totally not the style I take now). I literally got so nervous, I rolled... Continue reading
TITLE: HOPE. The Original Mixed Media Painting is available in my etsy shop. I’m kinda in LOVE with this new painting, HOPE. I painted it to express all of the freedom I feel when I acknowledge my wildest hopes and dreams, knowing they can become reality. I had so much fun playing with layers of paint, then spray painting on stencils, then adding paper cut-outs... Continue reading
TITLE: Give Me Wings. The Original Painting and Prints available in my etsy shop. Sometimes I wish I knew in advance what little events would turn out to be big moments in my life. A few years ago, I was living in Chicago, and happened to see Julia Cameron. I had a free evening, so I picked up the paper and looked for a reading... Continue reading
TITLE: Heart Song. Find the Original Mixed Media Painting and its story in my etsy shop. Prints will be available later this week. So it’s been a few days, and I must say I’ve been crazy busy painting in my studio! I am LOVING it! Finally I’ve got my passion and excitement for creating back. I realized I had grown rather bored and tired of... Continue reading
I definitely KNOW I need to run out and get brilliant red glitter for this girl’s dress! The rest of the painting, I have no idea what it will turn into. But I just see her as some kind of mermaid, deciding whether or not to get back into that water. And she definitely needs to SPARKLE! This is a really big painting for... Continue reading
I’ve been working on this painting for a few days now. And that NEVER happens! I get bored really fast with my characters. If I’m not feeling them, I repaint the entire canvas. MAYBE I’ll love a face but not an outfit or there have been times when I just know I can bring out more emotion in their face, so I’ll redo that. But... Continue reading
Prints available in my etsy shop Sometimes I write quotes on my studio table. Usually it’s to remind myself of something or a quote that catches my eye, and often times the words come out as images in my paintings. SHARE YOUR GIFTS was one I read a while back and thought it very important. Because sometimes I just feel like hiding in the woods.... Continue reading
