The Data Center where my site is hosted had some issues over the weekend and my site was down. They finally resolved the issue this afternoon. Thank Goodness!

The other day I was going through some old watercolor paintings, which had been torn up to use for collage. They were spread out allover my table, and I accidentally placed my clear rose quartz heart, which I had in my jacket pocket on top of these random images.

Here’s a new work-in-progress titled “Vivian, Lady of the Lake.” I chose to paint the figure first and then began developing the background from my reference sketches, and now it is taking on a life of its own.
