Time Flies if You are Having Fun!
Time has flown by this week. The Lake Wateree painting is completed and headed to the framer. My classes have paused for the summer; we finished up this week. And today – May 28, 2023 – Robert and I have been married for 40 years! We are celebrating by doing what we have always done – anything we want! : ) It is quite the indulgence. Here’s a look into the studio this week.
Read MoreA Painting Studio in Springtime
Everything in my studio is reflecting this beautiful Spring. I have begun laying in the colors in my Lake Wateree landscape. My favorite paints were involved. Also, with all the beautiful Spring bouquets, it was time for a class demonstration on how to paint a glass vase filled with stems and water. Don’t forget to check in on Frida and Charlie – Spring has been exciting for them too!

ALL GOOD THINGS
The finishing of a good chapter means the next chapter is ready for you. My new chapter is so close; it is exciting to know that the work is changing and your heart and soul are ready.
Read MoreCamille Pissarro is an inspiration
Camille Pissarro is an inspiration. A French Impressionist who helped change painting forever. Camille Pissarro and Claude Monet organized the first Impressionist Exhibition (A complete history of the 8 Impressionist Exhibits). Pissarro was the only artist to be in all eight. In his work you can see change of seasons, change of atmosphere, and his life long love affair with how light affects color.

Trees to and from Stockbridge were so very beautiful. I painted two when I got home. Finished just this morning. Ironic that today is very much overcast and wet like it was there, just considerably warmer. I am grateful! This will be the final chapter in this trip to the Berkshires, but am planning another trip in the fall.
Read MoreOld Growth Trees in Winter
Surrounded by the winter landscape, I was drawn to the old growth trees. Looking at them without their leaves gives insight into their shape, color, and texture. Evidence of good times and bad as they continue to grow.

My first time in New England was a hit! Visiting treasured family, monumental theaters, and a new landscape for me to explore. I am completely inspired.
Read MorePaintings from the Road
Don’t you love a road trip? Everything was new to us; absolutely exciting. Connecting with a new landscape on the road. I carry a mobile studio and paint every chance I get – when I am not knitting socks.
Read MoreAlignment
Since losing my FaceBook and Instagram social media accounts, I have had a lot of questions. Will the hacker hurt my reputation and/or business? How much time do I have to spend on “the fix?” Will I try to punish those who are responsible? How shall I move on? What platforms are in alignment with how I share my art? How do they treat their customers / investors? So far, I don’t have any answers. How do you get in alignment?
Read MoreI’m Still Standing – and Painting!
I’m still standing and painting. I was hacked on Facebook and permanently banned from their platforms, which includes Instagram. I have discovered that this is a nationwide problem. Facebook will not respond to me or anyone else. If you see questionable material on my pages, IT IS NOT ME.
Read MorePainting the Beach
Headed to Litchfield Beach to paint with the Ladies of the Traveling Paints! We immerse ourselves in the act of painting. Outside during the day and round the table at night. Fun, fun, fun! Will make sure to show you what we did next week. For this week’s blog, I have posted some of my favorite beach paintings from over the years. Hope you enjoy them.
