How to Stay in Love Forever

This is a piece that I hand lettered several years ago. I recently painted the vines to go around it. Have a great Sunday!

Struggles with a Heart -- Studio Notes

This week I was trying to paint an abstract heart and I must have done 5 of them in watercolor. I finally decided that the colors were not as vibrant as I had wanted so yesterday I purchased some acrylic inks made by Liquitex. They were great and kept the intense color that I wanted. See what you think?

Studio work

Today I ordered mats from Redimat in California in preparation for my Fall shows and sent some of my Hawaiian greeting cards to a friend in Hawaii. This is an orchid lei I painted about 3 years ago in Hawaii. Aloha!

Monday, July30, Computer Art

This is my first drawing solely on the Ipad. This program is called Paper by 53. It has cool little journals that you fill with drawings. It is not too sophisticated and does not use very many tools but it is fun to do. Just trying to teach myself new skills. As for this afternoon projects, I have to pay bills. ): Not at all artistic. Have a great day!

Studio Notes - July 29, 2012

Hi, Everyone! I decided to change my format of my blog a little bit since I have been so remiss in posting blogs. As I work, I am going to share what I am working on. Today I designed a new blog header that you will see when you open my blog and I am working to finish my calendar, add some new sayings to my line, and working on a baby baptism plaque. And if you have noticed that not only haven't I posted lately, I have not been commenting on your blogs either. When I used to open my blog, I would see all of your blogs on the left side of my screen. Blogger changed their format and now I don't see them anymore. Don't you just hate it when something is fixed that was never broken in the first place??? Can anyone help me with this problem?

In the last week, I designed a new marriage saying for a customer and painted a rose wedding bouquet. I have always wanted to paint a rose bouquet, that was fun. Have a great Sunday!
