My friend Jane, over at Maiden Jane, was thinking recently about her hands and all they do – all the hard-working, dedicated, complex things. She posted a challenge to see other people’s hands. Ok. I’ll bite…here you go. I used to have nice hands: long thin fingers and long nails that rarely broke. Those days […]

Thanks for your challenges and opportunities, your joys and sorrows. You’ve been a good year, tough, but far easier to navigate than your predecessor. 2010 was brutal. You’ve been gentler. Thank you for that. On the personal side, my family handled a big transition as we cleaned and renovated Mom and Dad’s old house so […]
Is today Wednesday? I’ve been thinking all day that today is Thursday. I’m so confused. Regardless, I do know that this painting is finished, and it’s my entry for Day 16 of Art Every Day Month. It’s 12 x 12 inches on paper, painted with acrylic paints and black acrylic ink.
Day 15 of Art Every Day Month. Another in my Colors and Lines series of 12×12 inch paintings on paper. It’s painted with acrylic paints and acrylic ink. I’m really enjoying this square format. This one is wild and dramatic and full of energy. Some days are just like that.
Another in the Colors and Lines series, this one cheerful and bright. These are my paintings, so I’m fond of each one in its own way. With this one, I experimented with a dry brush technique that I don’t often use. The paper has a pink and white floral pattern, hibiscus maybe? that peaks through […]
Another 12×12 painting in my Colors and Lines series. This one is very much inspired by the windy fall weather we’ve been having. It’s also my entry for Day 13 of Art Every Day Month, November 2011. It’s acrylic paint and india ink on paper.
October 30. Is it really the end of October already?! Unbelievable. The end of October means that it’s about time to flip the calendar to November. (Wow, that’s profound.) November is Art Every Day Month, led by Leah Piken Kolidas over at Creative Every Day. Have you done Art Every Day Month in the past? […]
More fun with the colors and lines paintings! 12×12 inches on paper, just like the others. This has some wonderful purple and turquoise colors. Detail images are below.
I just love this one! I guess I’m supposed to say that about all of them, but I really like this one. I used several layers of paint so that the colors have a lot of depth. The ink has made such interesting shapes; the whole thing is very satisfying. This is again 12×12 inches […]
