A little bit of progress on this piece is happening .  I try to do a little here and there between filling print orders and portrait orders.  BUT, it’s also a good way to stay fresh, when I burn out on one thing I move over to another and it seems to work.
(you can see […]

I thought I’d share a large painting I am working on as it progress.  I am always curious to see other artists’ process so here is a peak at mine.  Here are a couple stages in this painting so far.  I always take photos as I go along as I find it easier to see […]

My mantel right now is home to a painting in progress and a flower to try and brighten my day.  Just out of view, the sick kid on the couch, sigh.   (you should hear the commentary from my kids when I put up an in progress piece to look at, ‘he doesn’t have hands,’  […]

I have a busy week finishing getting everything ready for Crafty Wonderland this weekend, but I wanted to share this color cake from House of Origin (via Bloesem).  My son has a bday coming up, hmmm wondering if I can do something similar…

Here are some more recently completed paintings.  I still have 3-4 I need to complete and then plan to add prints of all to the shop by the end of the week.  I need to sit down and do all the scanning, sizing, printing involved with that.  The originals will be at Crafty Wonderland next […]

Here are two small peeks at some new paintings.  I have a sick boy on the couch, but have managed to work on a few things today.  My goal for the week:  to finish up several portraits I am working on, as well as these new paintings.

I am doing my first Crafty Wonderland next month (more on that soon!) and wanted something new to offer.  So I decided to make canvas wrapped prints of several of my paintings.  I think these make a nice alternative to my standard prints.  They look so close to the originals it’s pretty amazing and as […]

You probably already saw this over at Poppytalk but I love it so much I’m posting it here.  ‘Aye Jay Morano sent his third grade son Cohen’s water color paintings out into the world to be altered and added to by an impressive collection of street artists, graffiti writers and children’s illustrators.’  The book is […]

20×200 has the BEST shipping labels.  I love the ‘Mr. or Ms. Postmaster please for the love of art do not bend!’  I need to do something like this, because apparently even though I stamp all my packages with a ‘please do not bend’ every so often,  they do.
