Red and blue actually are the primary colors. Magenta and cyan, by definition can not be. Let me explain.
Sketchbook
I grabbed one of my first finished sketchbooks and pulled out a few of the better ones. I would have shared all the pages, but it’s large and won’t fit on the scanner. I hate editing photos. I hate editing photos I took with a camera instead of scanning the […]
Sunday Sketches – Throw Back
I know, it’s Monday, but here’s my sketchbook from Paris. My niece met me there after my week in the Netherlands and we spent our time walking around and taking in everything we could. Also eating. Lots of eating. If you want to see the Netherlands sketchbook, it’s here. As […]
Sunday Sketches: Meet Me In Paris!
Last year, I was invited to Holland to teach a three day masterclass in watercolor on claybord. You may remember the story from here. via GIPHY It was better than I could have imagined. Margo made me feel so welcomed. I didn’t have to think about anything other than teaching. […]
Watercolor Workshop In Holland
(Most images are from the respective business’ website or instagram.) Last Tuesday, mother nature decided to rain on my parade. I had hoped to go for a walk on a nature trail or maybe in Forest Park, but I wasn’t feeling up to splashing in puddles. Even with my cute […]
Artist Date Week 1 (4/30/19)
A rant. I have never wanted to be Beyoncé for a day so badly in my life. via GIPHY The Louvre is a giant trash can for some of the most beautiful art ever created. I just want to know if the decision makers hate tourists and wanted to see […]

My Little Travel Palette
1 On my first trip with other artists, I learned the habit of buying a sketchbook from every place I go. I never use those sketchbooks while I’m in said place. It’s just nice having a little reminder when I use it later. It’s a nice way to interweave memories. Sketchbooks […]
The Best Kind of Souvenirs
I went through a few older sketchbooks for this post. Some are from years ago and some are from this year. I’m still working on my sketches from Holland and Paris.

I started a podcast awhile back. Here's the latest episode.

The weather is absurd. It’s so windy I rescheduled lunch plans and refuse to leave my house. Gusts up to 50mph. I feel like I’m back in New Mexico. With my newly freed afternoon, I thought I’d scan in some sketches. I bought a very nice leather sketchbook on my […]
Sunday Sketches
I am obsessed. I went to see the Kehinde Wiley: St. Louis exhibit 3 times in 5 days. It is a once in a life time show.

I was invited to teach a 3 day workshop in Holland on April 5th-7th.

This is the beginning of a new series titled That Face When...
The moment I saw Ms. Clinton make this face, I knew I wanted to do a series of powerful women with "that face." The face women make when they just have to sit there and let a man get it out of his system.

Self-Care Saturday
I have thought about just using it as a way to finish up paintings I've already started since that's allowed. However, I only have 7 of those. I do have at least 3 paintings to start next, but there's no way I will finish them in one day a piece.
