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…

Sleeping Bear Dunes Study #2 12.19.21 16x20 (In Process)

I brag on my fella often which no doubt gets old to some after almost eight years of posting my painting blog. But, this afternoon, he took all four kids out for an afternoon/evening of figure skating, hockey and (likely) a dinner of soda, soft pretzels and hot dogs at the concession stand. Ten years ago I may have scoffed at a dinner like that (i.e. ignoring all the good stuff on the food guide pyramid) but, I’ve mellowed in my age and If pretzels and hot dogs mean that I get a whole afternoon to be by myself and paint in the quiet (less the crazy puppy who likes to bark and eat my hair), then I’m all for it!

So, today, I got many good hours in on this new piece, which I hope to have wrapped up by Wednesday 12/22.

Stay tuned and thank you for spending time with me today! :)
