This one was really fun to paint.  I only used black and white, and I love the look of it. It has a lot of texture, that you can't see in this photo.

Tomorrow the theme is, "the woods"  Check in to see my interpretation!

The holidays are creeping up and I sure am busy! Make sure to scroll to the bottom to see my new art collections, perfect for gifts!

 I have been painting like crazy, entering art shows, hosting art shows in my home, and trying to learn to market my art...it's exhausting and super wonderful, all at the same time!  Did I forget to mention, taking care of my family -two daughters, husband, and our dog!  Yes, learning to carve out time for my art is a full time project.

To share with you some of my most recent art events is my pleasure.

I hosted a Gallery Hop in our home.  It was a lot of work, but worth it all. I had about fifty people come through and sold a lot of new and older works of art.  My home was turned into a gallery for the evening and a lot of wine, good food, friends, conversation, and art happened. It was a wonderful evening!

This work of art has been accepted in an upcoming juried art show. It will be for sale during the month of the show.

The following are the details of this art call.

Art Show Info

Believing Is Seeing

In the world of science as in much of life, seeing is believing. In the world of art, more often the reverse is true: believing is seeing. In the studio an artist borrows from her own imagination and vision, whether from a very personal inner world, or from the material world around her. Starting with a blank canvas, a lump of clay, or a found object, and drawing on her own life experience and beliefs, the artist transforms her vision into art, sharing her truth with others. This juried exhibition of WCA/DC members’ work affirms their belief that art can be seen all around us.

The Women’s Caucus for Art - District of Columbia Chapter has issued a call for entries for a juried show that opens on December 2, 2016 at Artists and Makers Galleries in Rockville, MD. Rebecca Cross, owner of the Cross MacKenzie Gallery in Georgetown, will jury the show.

What Does Art Offer?

"What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit." - John Updike

I found these images this morning while doing my routine FB search (which I often tell my self I am going to get rid of)...Until I find something inspiring and think that I need it.

And this inspiration is what I found today...
This five year old girl with autism paints stunning masterpieces. 

"An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one." - Charles Horton Cooley

These images may bring up the question...

Can art heal?

I believe this to be true.
I would love to hear your thoughts!

(Untitled) Title coming soon!

 

 

Hello to All!

 

I have been able to get in my studio the past few days; with my girls going back to school and putting other things aside...like working on getting the house back in order, after a two week break of everyone home!  But, that will have to wait!

 

My show is coming up and I want to have a couple of larger paintings to hang with the 4 inch x 4 inch house paintings.

 

 

 

So here it is, the large painting I have been posting the past few days, in different stages.

 

 

I thought I was finished with it last night, until I showed it to my children and realized, the small houses looked as though they were floating.  It took all I had to wait until today to work on it some more and not at midnight last night.

 

 

 

Here are some of the details of this painting along with my studio mess
