Gone so long

new stuff

Lucky me

I entered Max-5 Art competion I went on an Art related trip to Baie-StPaul and came back a changed woman. I tuggle constantly with my direction toward art. Often, I feel like stopping and thats where my mind has been these past few months.

Several blessed things happened

-First I had an opening at Curio Antiques where the kindness and support was overwhealming

Second My trip to Quebec --I was able to see great art and feel the love for it again

Thirdly-My inspiration ,new direction and approval from the judges -who awarded me first place with my painting"Damask" shown above

I'm ready to make art again!!!

Not blogging much--but still painting

I've been dedicating a lot of time to research and teaching,but I have not neglected my own work.

Although I have neglected my blog :(

Here are some new paintings!!!

I'm still alive & painting

I have been working even though I've not been posting any pictures for my blogging friends.

I've been teaching a few classes a week. Teaching is a real joy. I love seeing people create something they really like and are proud of.

I am working on commissions most of the time.

January is a great time to do commission portraits-lots of time and no interruptions.
