Workshop Photos and Other Information

I did a Creative Meditation workshop with a great group of ladies on Wednesday. They were a lot of fun. Their pieces turned out so good, and they were so proud.

I have been preoccupied lately with preparing for various workshops and lessons. My posting of my work for the next couple of months may be a bit sporadic. I am painting bigger pieces as well, and of course we are still working on renos for my new studio. Life is a bit crazy, so I will be posting as much as possible, but given the circumstances of life right now, I unfortunately can not make it a priority. April will be the month I will be able to breath again!

For Your Information

I thought I would share a bit about what is going on in my creative life right now. My studio is full of bags of new art supplies purchased for various workshops I have the privilege of teaching over the next two months.

Please visit my blog for more information on the workshops I offer, I am in the process of listing then on the right side of my blog so just scroll down to see them. I will be updating this section periodically so check it out every once in a while.

Because of this full schedule I need to take a week off posting so I can focus on organizing these projects. I will be back posting Monday February 9th. See you then!

Off the Spool

Valentines Day is coming up so I thought it would be fun to paint something red. This one was a lot of fun because it came together so quickly. Lately it has been taking me at least 2 hours to do a little painting. It was refreshing just to lay paint down and have it effortlessly go where it was suppose to.

Wake SOLD

The paper underneath was a bit of challenge. I ended up liking this positioning because it looked like the apple was leaving a wake behind it. And as it so happens apple are suppose to help you stay awake. Im told it works better than coffee. I eat apples and then drink coffee. Some days I really need the double hit!

Two Pair

16 x 24"

So this is the bigger painting I did last weekend. I just love these little bears. They have the happiest little faces and cute little bellies!

I am building up some larger work for a show. I will keep you posted as to where and when.

Study/Dad in June

This sketch was done last June when I went home to visit my parents. I wanted to post this just because it makes me smile. :)

Bedside Table

6 x 5 1/2"

I see scenes everywhere in the house that would make a potential painting and this day I finally went to the trouble to set up and paint one. I hope to do more. These little paintings are great to see if it will work compositionally and just to see if it is interesting enough for me to make a large painting.
