Although it has been a busy couple of days, I did manage to work on my painting. I still haven’t decided what to do with the crystal ball.
Maybe tomorrow inspiration will strike, or maybe not. I still have a ways to go before it is finished, which gives me plenty of time to figure [...]

We had a beautiful weekend, the sun was shining, and we hit the mid-80’s. Saturday, when we got back home from running errands, we were able to take our dog out for awhile so he could run, play, and snooze in the grass. He is such a sweetheart!
On Sunday, I went to the Gem Faire [...]

It’s a gorgeous day and I plan on taking a little walk to stretch my legs, we [...]

I’ve been busy working on my new gallery, moving images from my old site to the new one. I ran into a few glitches, but I’m finally getting the hang of it. I still have a long way to go!
The flowers below are so magical, I took several photos to use as reference material [...]

I was feeling a little under the weather today, so I didn’t get much done in the studio. I’m sure tomorrow will be a much better day.

Spent most of the afternoon working on the painting below, using a texture stamp I made on the background and the face.
I found this process adds interesting detail to the overall look of the painting. Hopefully, I can find some time to work on it over the weekend.
