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.

Lately I’ve been thinking how easy it is to get wrapped up in the doing of things. I’ve realized the importance of taking a moment to stop and enjoy the flowers, to sit with a cup of tea or a good book of poetry, walk barefoot in the grass or even along the sidewalk.

I’m planning a roadtrip and spending a lot of time on travel sites. I feel like I’ve already been on vacation this month with all of the fabulous-ness of my art opening and then the surprise visit from my brother! But we’ve been planning this trip for awhile, so I suppose we’ll just have to get out of town for a little adventure. We’ll see... Continue reading

The original mixed media painting will be up at my art show until next week. Archival prints of BREAK FREE are now available in my ETSY ART SHOP. BREAK... Continue reading
I just love all of this warm weather and being able to paint outside! I’ve been starting off with lots of blue skied canvases, yet oddly enough this one turned into a darker piece that reminds me perfectly of MOONLIGHT. The original is up at my current art show and will be added to my etsy shop very soon. Archival prints of MOONLIGHT are now... Continue reading

But first, I wanted to share this new painting that I entered in this week’s Illustration Friday! I just love how she could march right off the canvas. She’s absolutely FEARLESS! Archival prints available in... Continue reading
