Some new work

"Remember"

I used lots of texture in this piece, and beautiful bright colors, that I love! It is titled "Remember"....do you remember,,,,,love? 9 x 12 inches, acrylic, mixed media, ready to hang,,,, "SOLD"

New work now available

I finally finished my "Best friends forever" series. They are 8 x 10 and are on gallery wrapped canvas. I tend to create in themes. A lot of my characters wear bunny slippers. A fond memory of my childhood. In this series, I have been thinking a lot about hairstyles and girls who wear bangs. Have you noticed, most women are NOT wearing bangs now....hmmmm..... I love bangs! With that said,,,I just started to grow mine out.

Work in progress

I'm not sure where this one is going but it's fun to see how it develops!

Painting the blank page, and a guy in my journal

This is another page I created recently. I used collage papers in the hand bound journal that I made. I start all my pages by creating a watercolor wash on the pages so I am not faced with the overwhelming "blank page". Sometimes I am happy enough with all the pages painted in brilliant, vibrant colors, and I don't need to paint anything else on them! I find plain white pages a little intimidating to start work on.

Journal, artist journal, Sketchbook

I never seem to have the time to write a nice thoughtful blog posting. But I thought I would show you what I've been working on. This is my hand made journal. I have been slowly adding art to the pages and experimenting for a new idea that I have.

A new hand made original journal

I recently started a new journal. This one is completely made by hand. I made the covers and also did the binding. The covers are canvas board and I use polyester linen thread for the binding. It measures 8 x 10 and has lots of different size pages in it. More to come,,,,stay tuned... :)

A little piece of art

I made this for an artist friend to put in her journal. It measures 4 x 6 and is on heavy cold press watercolor paper. I love the heavy weight paper and the texture it gives.

Painting on paint brushes...

I have been busy painting on some more paint brushes. I made some several months back and decided to make a few more. More to come later.... In my shop
