Acrylic Painting: Wistful w/ Process Pics

Here’s one of the paintings I made for the Big 500 art show I mentioned last week.  Thought I’d include a few process pics too. I love looking at process images.  I confess that I never read the descriptions of the process when artists include them.  I just like to look at the  pictures forContinue reading “Acrylic Painting: Wistful w/ Process Pics”

The quote isn’t onContinue reading “Albert Einstein on Intuition”

Celebrating Myself in March

Who is this grumpy woman?  It’s me!  Only I’m really not grumpy. I’m just looking a little to intensely at my mirror.  It doesn’t really look like the beginning of a celebration, does it?  But it is. During my birthday month,  I’m making a conscious effort to focus on the things I like about myselfContinue reading “Celebrating Myself in March”
