what i've been up to..

i've been so inspired to create

so many ideas are in my head...only if there were more hours in the day

here's what i've been up to

resin art blocks available here

i love these!!

the resin really bright out the colors

so far i've made 4"x4" & 4"x3" blocks

they can sit on a shelf or table top

just so cute.

i plan on trying a 6"x7" block the first of the week

wish me luck..

studio time just jump in

i've had a lot of studio time this week...it feels so good

i finally try making a stamp

i bought the supplies months ago

so excited to get started

i just kept looking at them

so new & untouched

so new i didn't want to make a mistake

i just want to hold them, look at them

does this ever happen to you?

how many times has the fear of messes something up held me back ...

to many time to count.......

i had so much fun making this stamp

i don't know why it took me so long to jump in...

*******

i can't wait to make another one

i was so inspired by this

i was able to get a couple of paintings done

i'm obsessed with birds right now...

my dad likes all wildlife

he feeds the the deer, raccoon & of course the birds..

i love going to his house & watching all the different bird feed

i'm having so much painting them

*******

so just go for it...jump in with both feet or should i say hands..

see what you can accomplish

you will be amazed how good it feels to let go

everything is possible when you go for it

Happy Birthday Emerson

sneak peak

on my easel

*******

 a couple of paintings that i'm working on

what do you think?

hearts desire

hi everyone, with valentine's day right around the corner

i decided to paint a series of heart paintings

*******

knowing only the very young have hearts that are perfect

i decide to paint hearts with marks on them

to show the scars we all have felt at times

but that our hearts are still beautiful & full of love....

they are available here

i've had a little break through....i decided not to worry so much about

what my style is & what i should be focusing on

illustrations? painting? mixed media?...

it can be very debilitating

i tend to to think about it sooo much i end up not doing anything

i decided to just go with what feels right at the moment

i think the only way to find your style

is to create & create & create & your style will show

how did you find your style?

how did you know this is it!!

or are you like me & always second guessing yourself?

maybe all artist feel this way at some point

but for now i plan on creating what ever my muse is for the moment

 &

not worry so much what everyone else thinks

easier said then done i know

*******

sneak peak at what is on my easel now

To mat or not to mat

I have a question for you.

I'm thinking about getting mats for the prints I sell on Etsy.

These mats would be white and fit 5"x7" prints.

So that they can be framed in a 11"x14" frame.

If you were looking at art to buy

 would you like the idea of it being matted and ready to be framed.

I think it would give the art presense.

What do you think?

They would look something like this below.

Published!

I opened my Sept-Oct issue of Somerset studio magazine last night to see my art in print....sooo exciting.

This is a piece I made while I use taking Misty Mawn's e-course a few month ago.

The article is about Misty's course.

I feel honored that they picked my art to be include in the article.

Here is the painting.

thank you for letting me share this with you.
