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…

"Low Tide" 18x24. In Process Photo and Update

This past weekend, we finally got two days of spring temps here in northern Michigan. Well, today it’s snowing. Tomorrow may be a snow day as well. So, I thought I’d work on a lighter, brighter piece based on a summer photo of low tide at Blue Hill Harbor, in DownEast, Maine. I’ll be headed there in June for a couple weeks to work on my cottage and spend some time unplugging and decompressing from a whirlwind of a spring that already has me exhausted. Of course, my fatigue is more likely due to weather (read: dark, cold, wet, and dreary!).

I thought I’d get this piece in before starting a new commission that will take up every spare square inch of my studio. That said, I LOVE working big and am really excited about having a modern Farmscape on my easel again! Good thing Santa brought me a heavy duty easel that can support a piece larger than myself….Stay tuned for the sketch and underpainting!

Just a quick update on “Low Tide”

Thank you, Amy in Maryland!
