hooray!

I am super excited to be chosen as one of The Judge's Picks on Daily Paintworks for my painting "chasing dreams." I'm over the moon, super excited to be chasing my dream!

chasing dreams

It's the possibility of realizing a dream that makes creating art, and living life, interesting.

Never lose sight of your dreams.

I had a weekend with no time for painting. Every time I take a few days off I fear that I will forget everything I ever learned! We were at a swim meet at Penn State. It was fun and the weather was amazing for the middle of February. I did have a little bit of time this morning before work so I fit this little gem in to get myself back into the flow. At least while I was at the swim meet I had some time to read. A decadent treat! This 6"x6" original oil painting is available, unframed, for $85. Click to Bid

Here's my reading material from this weekend, if you don't have time to paint, at least there's time for some good reading! I adore flow magazine and just started the book Thrive and am enjoying it very much.

This is so much fun. I have to keep bringing my focus back to the thought of color, which is what I want for this piece. Lots of color. This is my progress and a close-up shot…

Sometimes the challenge of having something to say is just beyond me. I am reading a great book called Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life when I am awake at night and can't sleep. Maybe I will sleep better if I have some instructions on Writing and Life. Maybe it will get rid of this writers block, or life block, that I seem to have more often than I'd like. Hope so. This original 6"x6" oil painting is available, unframed, for $85. Thanks for reading :) Click to Bid
