I Miss Being Creative and Making Art

Ever since I fell in June 2025 and broke my knee, I haven’t painted anything. I miss painting and being creative so much. When I paint, I usually stand at a raised table so I can move around freely. Once I finish a piece, I carry it over to the drying rack, on the opposite […]

Weekend Show Success: From Prep to Performance

Wow, what a weekend! I wanted to take it up to another notch this year! A lot more preparation went into this show, but in a short amount of time. First, I put in a new 8’x12′ paver patio, with a ton of help and muscle from Dave. Then, I bought a 10’x20′ tent. Then, […]

A busy January and Doggy Guest #66, Sukey

I feel very grateful and fortunate for having a great start to the new year! First, Sukey was here, for the first time, and for just shy of 3 weeks, while her owners were in Africa on Safari. I am so envious. Sukey is a 13 month old Mini American Shepherd. She is beautiful, sweet, […]

Celebrating Success: My Second Art Sale Journey

It turned out to be a great day weather wise!! I started promoting my sale, 2 weeks before, in many different locations. My friend Kevin offered to play and sing, while people shopped. I love live music, so it was perfect! I have twice as many paintings made this year, as I did last year, […]

My Quiet New Year’s Eve: Reflections and Hobbies

Hope everyone had a good and safe New Year. My New Years Eve was quiet. Party of 1. I binge watched the whole series of Bridgerton on Netflix, which I loved. I paused to watch the ball drop and finished the series at 3 am. Once I get started, I can’t stop. It was so […]

How I Got My Photo Accepted in a Juried Show

A friend of mine suggested that I submit something to a local art exhibit. I didn’t feel like my paintings were good enough, so I decided to submit 3 photos I have taken and were already framed in my house. I got an email on Mon, 10/12th, that 1 of my photos was accepted!! I […]

Transforming My Tiny Room into an Art Studio

I have been having so much fun with paint pouring!! I now have a new addiction for sure. I keep buying more paint and canvases. I keep adding things to my painting room, which is only 6’x7′ and feeling smaller every day. I now have over 90 paintings made!! I make about 2-4 a day. […]

Exploring Creative Painting Techniques

I have been having so much fun painting. I have been trying different techniques and I think I am getting the hang of it. I suppose I should start thinking about trying to sell them eventually. And here are some photos from the last couple of weeks.

Capturing Beauty Through Paint: My Latest Creations

I am really enjoying paint pouring. Like life, every one I make is a learning experience. Did I use enough paint, did I use too much, is the paint too thick or too thin, did I prepare the canvas correctly before painting? So many questions and you don’t really know what it’s going to look […]

Exploring Paint Pouring: My Creative Comeback

I used to be very creative, when I was kid. I loved to draw, write and even was into photography back then as well. As a teenager, I did a lot of jigsaw puzzles and then glued and framed them. Big ones, 500, 1000, 2000 pieces! Creative writing and photography still carried through those years […]
