See how it goes…
New painting in progress– I thought I’d photograph it at the end of each session because I’m always fascinated with the layers and evolution of a painting. This is an oil on linen and is 50×60″ which is a very large piece for me. In the beginning of a painting, I usually have no ideaContinue reading “See how it goes…”

Tons of tiny fun!
Sketches 1 and 2, oil on Arches paper, approx 9″ x 6″ paper size While I’m painting larger pieces in the studio, I like to work out my ideas on a smaller scale to sort through my palette, composition, and drawing. This time, I took some Arches watercolor paper, taped it up, and gessoed theContinue reading “Tons of tiny fun!”
Artists I Admire: Louise Philbrick
When we moved into our house, one of the items left behind by the 3-generation family that lived here before us was an old Briggs piano. It was left in the back of the garage and has acquired quite a few years of dust & leaves as well as being the home to at leastContinue reading “Artists I Admire: Louise Philbrick”

And I was also surprised at how much work I had made! Here’s a screenshot ofContinue reading “CSA- looking back”
More CSA work in progress
I don’t know where I’d be without the help of my husband— in general and in framing support, too! He’s cut mats and framed all of the work for the CSA show and I am so happy that he loves doing the technical work because it’s just too fussy for me.
