Here are some sketches from last week. I’m trying to get back into the daily habit of sketching. Mainly because I just love having these masonry galleries on my blog.
Watercolor
I kind of did two dates this week. I went to the art store. I bought some watercolor ink to try. Lemon Yellow, Turquoise Blue, (Affiliate Links) I like them, but I’m not in love with them. They are surprisingly opaque and since it was my first time mixing them, […]
Split Complimentary
1 Artist’s Date 4! I’m impressed with myself. This week, my inner artist was cranky. She did not want to do anything. Normally, I would feel overwhelmed and think, forget it. I have no idea what to do. This time I sat down and thought, okay, clearly I don’t want to […]
Mixing Neutrals
1 Some illustrations for a personal project I'm having fun with.
Shabbat Binder
2 Third Artist Date. More color mixing.
More Color Mixing
1 Oops! I did it again...Just kidding, color theory is never an accident around here. It's a choice.
Color Mixing Dots
Playing with my new toy.
My Little Travel Palette
That’s what I’ve been up to. There have been some major changes, most of which would be boring to anyone but me. There are some fun things I’ve been working on though. One, I have a new set up for speed painting videos and since I’m currently doing a 30 […]
A Little Bit of Everything
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
Because it sounded like you said I’m exhausted. Oh wait, that was me. I had the best time this past weekend meeting new friends and talking art. I’m already looking for another fair to try, but I can’t wait to go back next year. What a blast. If you are […]
Did you say art fair?
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 […]
The Story Behind Thank You:
Buy Now Just put the finishing touches on this one. It has either been in my head or sitting in my RV waiting for me to wrap it up for months now. I’m happy to see it completed and I’ll be even happier to drop it off at […]
That’s My Boy
This one was fun. I found images of a new model. I was asked, “How do you know when it’s done?” The answer: When I like more of it than I dislike and fixing what I don’t like will mess up what I do like. Or when my timer goes […]
Figure 11
This one had me feeling a little bored as I painted. I don’t know if it was the pose, 10 days of painting figures, or the long day messing with solar panels. I’m happy with the outcome though. I’ll go to town and find fresh poses tonight.
Figure 10
Done earlier in the day. Finally decided I should do something more productive than a warm bed, good book, and great coffee today. Now I can go back to my nest without guilt.
Figure 9
This started out a little rough. Since I didn’t paint yesterday I felt like I forgot how. It past very quickly though and I’m happy with the way it turned out. I’m not sure if I’ll get my store fixed over the weekend. I’m in the middle of the woods, […]
Figure 8
Available $125 Click Link To Purchase This one is still wet, hence the glares. I was all set to take good photos of all the paintings today, but I found my memory card and card reader. Of course I did. It would not be my life if I […]
