I have had this blog almost 8 years now using it mostly of a means of record keeping of the art I have done. It is surprising to see how much art I have done as I keep looking back by checking past posts. Doing Art is meditative for me as well as challenging myself to learn things unknown to me. I do art not daily but sporadically so I am surprised by my productivity

Watercolor pencil " feeling melancholy"   I was feeling so missing my family over the Labor Day weekend -this  art piece depicted my feeling

the girl with a secret

my art work has been sparce as I have been engaged in other activities but August 14,2017 I did do an acrylic 10x10 painting using only primary colors red, yellow and blue with the addition of black and white. It was fun to see how many shades,tones and tints could be made. I started by blocking in the color as a background and then added to it--making this very special woman/ can you guess her thoughts :)

Been too busy for art the past few months but the other night I did do another contemplative girl using intense watercolor inks.I have another sketched to do as a watercolor. My love is doing flawed irregular face features to express emotion. Art is a meditative, creative ,spirtual and nourishing joy for me. So glad I have been able to do this the past 10 years and for the art community of peers and friends I have found Thinking of you all and wishing you well
