a successful year

I’ve bee meaning to write this for at least a week. I’ve been a little busy making lots of Christmas gifts, so it’s been a little hard to find a moment, but I finally git a chance, so, I didn’t want to waste it.

This year, was one of firsts. We had our first [...]

The Art Outing

Going to a museum for an artist, is like going to a an all-you-can-eat-buffet for someone who is starving.

There is so much, that you don’t even know where to begin.

Yesterday, my day was no different.

I was invited by a friend, to go to the Barnes Foundation.  I know, it doesn’t sound like a museum, and [...]

barn progress

Getting close.

I’m almost done with the barn and corn watercolor.

I spent some late night hours painting today, and it was fun.  Sometimes it takes me forever to get to the “drawing board”, but once I’m there, I love it so much, I wonder why I do this to myself.

Another thing about this painting is that, [...]

living in the country

This morning, I was once again thankful for the joys and beauties of the country.

Willik and I had to stay home, due to his everlasting fever due to the flu.  Last week Fabio stayed home with Phoenix, this week, I stayed home with Willik.  I hope his fever will finally subside, and he will be [...]

Holstein Portrait

This post is a long time coming.

This month I intended to make four paintings at least, of a theme I called “the country life”.

While I have tried to use any spare moments to paint, I found myself doing a myriad of other things, meaning I’m way behind.

The beginning of the month was taken up with [...]

gathering inspiration

Mondays are for errands… but I managed to get some inspiration amidst the mundane.
I drove for a couple hours, in probably a 12-mile radius from our house. Unfortunately, it got close to noon, so it was just getting too bright, and I was getting less of the beautiful morning light, but I managed to [...]

october project launch

It’s October. Thank you to all you who gave me suggestions.
Unfortunately, because of a bad migraine, I wasn’t able to actually start on anything today.
However, I was able to make up my mind as to what I wanted to do for the month.
The overwhelming favorite, based on people who responded, was my ink and [...]

suggestions needed for new project

Okay, October is upon us, and I want to start the month off right.
I’m looking for suggestions on what might be a good theme or project for me to embark on.
Keep in mind I’m hoping to create a series/body of work that will be unified and possibly suitable to present to a gallery [...]

the show’s over

Yup. The arts show is over.
One might say I can relax, but that would not be the case. Now I can get back to all the household duties which I neglected for about 2 weeks.
While preparing for the show, I told my husband that if I sold one original piece, I’d be giddy, [...]

getting ready

School started a couple weeks ago, and I started working on my art. Full-time.
I’ve been waiting for this for a long time!! The boys are both in school full-time, and now I can be an artist full-time.
To help me kick off this wonderful new phase of my life, I signed up to get [...]
