Release your creative spirit

Waiting for class to start in today's 6 hour workshop. Blue skies above...wet paint on the tables...Amos Lee playing on the iPod...gonna be alright...

Create Retreat update

It is so inspiring to be around all of this creative energy. The weather is rainy and chilly outside which makes this even better. I just want to hunker down with my brushes and get to work. Tomorrows first class is my 6 hour painting class. I am absolutely excited to see what my students do!

Happy birthday Mom!

I really wanted the background on this to be pinky mauve since that's my mother's favorite color. But I'm locked in on the cat colors do I think it's going to be soft green. Just makes more sense compositionally.

Got a little carried away laying in some color. I like the pale putty green on the bottom right cat. Time to glue down some wallpaper.

Finally! After 2weeks of blah I feel like painting again. Excited to work on this birthday gift for my mother...3 cats. I think I'll collage some floral pieces into this next. I feel lots of pinks and corals coming...

On the way to Chicago

So we are heading up to the Chicago Tribune North Michigan Ave Art where I will be showing these new paintings for the first time. Almost 9 hours into the 14 hour trip and we are about to go stir crazy. Believe it or not we just made our first Starbucks stop! My traveling companion got tired of country music so we switched to Oingo Boingo. Pray:-)
