I had a few visitors to my studio today — The songbirds just found a few birdfeeders outside of my studio that I put out for them. I am hoping this will help me gather references and study them more easily since they will literally be right outside my window . Below […] Read more »
Painting in the Rain
It’s been raining for most of the morning. I love painting during thunderstorms (but inside my studio, not outside plein air ;) )!! It’s so relaxing! I have been painting on my large Canada Goose piece today — it’s about half finished. I’ll post a photo of the full-color […] Read more »
Painting Again!!
I started working in my new studio today! I really like the new setup! It is finished for the most part. A few minor adjustments are still in progress (one of my pieces of artist’s furniture still needs to be moved in, for example :) ). I’ll post a photo […] Read more »
Moving Out…
I’m moving out. Ok, I’m not really moving "out". I, and all of the other artists in my family, have been working underground, in our basement art studio, for a few years now.

The gallery was completely rehung this afternoon for the upcoming "Fall Roundup" (their third annual) group showing for the artists in the gallery during Jackson’s Fall Arts Festival. It looks really nice! […] Read more »

Brushing Up on a Miniature Painting
I finished one of my miniature paintings today (this morning). It was one of those pieces that I had set aside in the studio for a while so I could get a fresh look at it later (to see if there was anything else it needed). :) The miniature will be added to the collection […] Read more »
