New Beginnings
Its been quite a while since I have posted. Last year was rough. I was diagnosed with stage 3B cancer and spent months going through treatment. I am happy to say that the treatment was successful and the last 3 scans/tests have shown me to be cancer free! But, it took a lot out of…

White Poppies
I came across a piece of art online of some flowers done on black paper. I’ve tried working on black paper with watercolor and only gotten muted results. But, when I looked the piece of artwork up, it said that she had done it using gouache. So, I gave it another try and I think…

Moonlight Sonata

Studio Upgrade Part 3
More work done. Things are finding places to call home. Comfy chairs got swapped and couple of rugs got thrown down. Figured they won’t turn into cat tunnels and battle hills as often in here. Hey! I’m going with that theory. At least for now. So, the little sitting are before you to into the…

Studio Upgrade Part 2

At The Pond’s Edge – Watercolor
I really like the way this one turned out. It’s smaller than many of the paintings I do. It’s only 8 X 8. But, I think it’s kind of a perfect size for it. And . . . . . Drum Roll! I scanned it with my brand new scanner, so it actually looks like…

“Wild Hearts Can’t Be Tamed”
New sketch I did over the last couple of days. Had to think a little bit about the name for it till I thought of the song by Pink. I think it fits this majestic creature perfectly. And the new scanner I now have is a dream to use. That, combined with my photo software…
