Off To A Good Start!



It's been a crazy weekend full of setting up the new website, along with all of the social media pages, etc.  The clay pieces I started last week should be all dry and ready to work on tomorrow. And I ordered a bunch more canvases to pick up tomorrow as well. I can't wait to dive in and get my hands messy!

Thank You, Old Friend

Time to say good-bye to an old friend. I've had this palette knife for a very long time... at least 15 years, probably closer to 20.

Of course these clover and clay pieces are much more natural toned and muted than my other artwork, but I LOVE the softness. I could definitely spend time in an environment of these colors. Maybe someone else will find inspiration as well. Mike picked up 12 new canvases for me today. Some small for collections.... Some large for landscapes! I can't wait to get messy!!!
