Welcome!

I’ve been documenting my creative endeavors since 2014. Thoughts on the creative process, my travels, shows, new ideas and what’s on my easel are just a few things I post on. Feel free to linger…

Custer State Park, Day 3

Today I painted from 11-3:45 before I realized that I was both hungry and had to pee.  I love it when that happens...I'd turned my phone off, turned up the tunes, and just started slinging paint all over my 30x40" canvas that was already off to a good start.

I would have started earlier, but was a little tired from talking to strangers for two hours last night....Although I'm a pretty good faker at chit chat, being thrown into a small gallery packed with people makes me a bit uneasy.  I suppose I'm more of a small circle kinda gal.

But--It was for a good cause, and "In The Bag" at Maryland Federation of Art was a huge success. The art, food and libations were all worthwhile and it was nice to catch up with some other artists who are a heck of a lot more social than myself.

I'm really happy with this "Custer State Park" painting so far.  So much so that I may also enter it into a juried show with a deadline Tuesday if it's done and dry by then.  I sure hope so!

Here are some in process photos!

Here's where I started today.
