Who would you have in your squad?
My Master Artists Squad
I heard about a British art show called Portrait Artist of the Year 2020. I’m on the fence about it, but over all, it’s worth a watch. I had the first several episodes on in the back ground as I did other things. I like that it isn’t like American […]
Artist Date
I am still working on the artist date project from this week. I went to the Goodwill with my Uncle on Monday and bought a few pieces of art to transform. Nothing crazy. Just practicing hand lettering. It’s just not finished yet. Today, I found out I can download my […]

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.
New Work
I have long held a belief about how to learn art. I feel like it’s an obvious belief and I know many of my artist friends feel the same so it’s not revolutionary, yet, many art schools seem to miss it entirely. Technical skill is super freaking important. Concept is […]
Vindication
I’m putting in effort to do more art related activity. So far, it’s working out. Mostly because I usually have company. A few weeks in a row I went to the St. Louis art museum to listen to lectures. I had never thought to do this, but in an art business […]
Artventures
It seems every artist has read this book. It’s been on my shelf since college. 9-11 years. I haven’t read it. Well, I’m trying to get into the habit of the Miracle Morning routine. I love it. But I also love laying in bed and looking at Facebook until Gunnar […]
The Art Spirit
Yesterday, Every Breath You Take by the Police, came on the radio. It reminded me of a comment section I had just read online about that very song. How people used it for wedding songs even though it is clearly a song about a stalker. Someone mentioned an anecdote about […]
In This Corner, We Have The Artist…
Hello! I am now part of a small (boutique, if you will) online gallery. The costs are bit more for me over all, so I’m going to have to raise my prices a bit. The good news, it won’t happen until tomorrow. I’m giving everyone the opportunity to buy an […]
Second Gallery!
I tried to edit out the part with the sunlight, but apparently it didn’t work. Sorry. Video and photo lighting are not my strong suit, but I hope you enjoy anyway.

The Judges
“A very small sampling of the female artists now in their 70s, 80s and 90s we should have known about decades ago.” Awhile back some guy online tried to insult me by telling me only little old women must like my work. He thought he thoroughly succeeded because I […]
Look At These Magnificent Women!
I didn’t want to leave you hanging after yesterday’s post. If you want something more specific for art and activism, I recommend checking out The Center For Artistic Activism. They have webinars and podcasts (although they haven’t done one in awhile. I have no room to judge). They are a […]
What’s Next?
Yada Yada Yada. I don’t want to discuss “politics” on my blog. I really don’t. I truly believe we need people of differing views in this country. We need compromise and working together. I’m a people pleaser and I want everyone to be happy and feel welcome. I am a […]
Be The Change…
So, now you know your primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Now, it gets good. Complementary Colors Oooooh yeah. This is why the color wheel is not arbitrary. Other than the fact that every color leads to another and it shows you which colors make the other colors, but whatev. Here’s […]
Basic Color Theory: Part 2 Complementary Colors
What’s the big deal about color theory? Thank God, somebody finally asked me. I’ll tell you. That right there is a color wheel. It shows your Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary colors. When I picture a color wheel, my reds are to the left and blues to the right, but […]
Basic Color Theory: Part 1
This is one of my favorite paintings I have done. I went to Thailand, a place I’d been wanting to see for years. In Thailand, when they say thank you, they place their hands in prayer position and bow slightly. I kid you not, I went on a 3-hour boat […]
