​Time to Dance?

3/26/2020

 

 I’ve always loved to dance and when I want to
loosen up in the studio,
​I turn up the music
and start to move.

Perhaps someday I’ll get the nerve to make
a dance video, for now,

I just want to share the idea with
my fellow artists or anyone that
wants a break.

I figure that’s just about everyone right now!

How Long Does a Painting Take?

3/7/2020

It can take me up to 3 months to finish a painting.
I often turn it upside down and even hang it on the wall in
my home to live with it for a while.
Every painting seems to come around in its own time. This painting started bright and almost garish, so I put it aside for a while.

When I returned, these calm colors seemed to flow across
the painting.

At that point, I felt the woman was moving forward and
​the painting was finished.

    I strive to keep showing up in my life and in my art  I hope my paintings make you feel the way I do when I create them - inspired, creative, and alive.
