November Morning Drop-In

I place attention
through my hands, my heart
expands, light floods in

    1. RoseAnne, thank you! So glad you commented on the pink and coral—I want to continue playing with those bits. They have a small role in the overall 30×30″ canvas, maybe taking up 10 square inches out of the 900. I don’t want to increase their real estate space but would like to punch up their impact just a touch. A challenge!

    1. Lola, SOOOO blessed we are to have interwoven our creative merrymaking and malarkey for nearly a decade now. WAY fun to take your palette paper, well-loved and well-used and well-covered in oils methinks, and dance into acrylic antics and alchemy right on top. Not only that, on top of all THAT is a piece of saran wrap making this a stay-wet palette! OH THE PLACES WE’LL GO : )

      YIPPEEEEE!

  5. Lovely to see all the tiny splatters, the textures, the holes, the movement of the brush, the layers.

    1. … and totally lovely to create the tiny splatters, the textures, the holes, the movement of the brush, the layers. I’ve had an ongoing especially rich relationship with this painting for months, mostly in little snippets of time.

      Thanks for your comments, Simone!

My Story

In 2014, I grab an unexpected opportunity to paint.

To make art.

I get hooked.

In 2015 I start a blog—a diary of my life as an artist.

I post my paintings and their stories. The good, the bad, the ugly.

My compass points: bust through fear, be playful, get messy, trust my gut.
