Have been feeling a bit under the weather the past couple of days, so no new paintings to show ya. This afternoon I played for a bit on Picmonkey and created the collage below with some of my past art.

If you’ve never heard of Picmonkey, you really should pop on over and play around. Its waaaaaaay cool! You can apply all sorts of effects and frames to your photos, plus create cool collages like mine…..though I didn’t do the text on there…I did that on my computer in Photoshop Elements. You could always save out your college and then upload it back to Picmonkey and add some text. :)

Monday is field trip day for my kiddo’s class and I’m supposed to be a chaperone…provided this silly fever goes away by then. So, I’ll catch y’all on Tuesday with some new art progress pics and such. :) Have a fantabulous weekend! xoxo

Music on my playlist…in the studio

If you’ve read my “About” page on my website or you’ve been following me and my work for a while, then you know how integral music is to my creative process. So from time to time, I’ll share a songs with you that really touch and move me.

Third Day is one of my favorite bands (my kiddo’s too…he even likes to dress like the lead singer Mac Powell) and I just adore their new song “Your Love Is Like A River”! This live acoustic version is even better than the single they’ve been playing on the radio. I hope their music inspires and moves you too! ♥

I’m creating a new body of work for an upcoming exhibition of my art this summer (more details on that very soon) and most of them will be larger paintings. Here’s the first one I’ve gotten started…

I started see bird shapes to the left of her, so I drew them in…then painted them. :)

Thanks SO much for your support of my art! Your encouragement and kind words help keep me motivated to create! I appreciate each and every one!!! xoxo

Spending the day decluttering our spare bedroom in prep for family visiting late next week. Our Irish Setter is up here keeping us company. :)

Right after I snapped this pic, she got up, came over and laid down right in front of me and put her head in my lap. Kinda hard to get anything done now. Lol! Yeah, she’s kinda spoiled. ;) How are you spending your Saturday?

Join me in my Portland, Oregon studio this coming Monday, March 18th! Visit the link below for all the details and to sign up.

Release Your Inner Artists Painting class

Release Your Inner Artist Painting class

Come paint, munch on some tasty snacks, while sipping tea (or coffee) and find your inner artist!

Don’t know how to paint or draw? No worries because no experience is required! Don’t consider yourself “artistic” or “creative”? I am a professional artist (with over 12 years of teaching experience) and I specialize in teaching beginners and those who don’t see themselves as creative . I am very good at coaxing out your inner artist. :)

Have fun exploring your creativity in an encouraging environment with me as your guide. I’ll be taking you step by step through the painting process in an easy to follow format, but you get to choose your colors, explore your creative side, and express your individual style. No “cookie cutter” paintings here!

This is a 2-1/2 hour acrylic painting class with all supplies included (you’ll be using my artist quality paint, brushes, and painting on a 12″x12″ stretched canvas). You will leave with a beautiful finished painting you will be proud show to your friends and family! You wont be able to wait to hang it in your home!

Be sure to visit the local workshops page for pictures of one of these fun classes in session!
