I think I need a new istle. I have been using the same one for many years and I have defiantly outgrown it. It has served me well.  I don’t know if outgrown is the right word though. When I first started painting on this istle my technique was much more genital to say the… Continue reading Progress

Here we go. To get beyond ant excuses for the tardy posting of the completed works from the previous  “Slow Progress” posts I will say this. Slow and steady wins the race, or at the very least, didn’t sacrifice the journey in order to cross the finish line ahead of the rest.   And with that… Continue reading Over Aurora

Shortly after starting my weekly studio schedule that was followed by my last post, I was quickly reminded that even though the concept of keeping a set time to make art is necessary and valuable, it might not always be possible.  It is east to get down on one’s self if it becomes difficult to… Continue reading Slow Progress is Better Than No Porogress

I have been keeping up with my weekly studio time and it is starting to show.  I am in the process of creating 3 separate Suites of 10 mixed media Boxes all at various stages in the creative process. I have finished the first diptych as well and am on the first stages of another.… Continue reading ROYBIV

Getting started on a new suite of 10 mixed media Boxes and 2, 24” x 24” paintings. The first step begins with creating the foundations with gesso, course ground and fine grain medium, sandpaper or whatever materials I end up using.  Once this base foundation dries, layers of material will be added and removes to… Continue reading Studio Time

Being prompted to slow down from time to time in order to become completely aware of the moment is a wonderful practice. It seems as though peace is easy to come by if we take the time to remove ourselves from the chaos that is the waking life and just take a look around When… Continue reading A Walk in The Park

Ah, I get it now! It must have seemed a bit redundant or backwards to create a facebook fan page for my artwork since I already have a great website and blog to showcase my work in all its glory. After all, why would I need to create a Facebook fan page when I can… Continue reading As Seen on Facebook

There is no better time to make a mess with paint than before you have to be too careful. With all the studio furniture and materials moved into the newly remodeled space, the former studio – soon to be baby land, was an empty room; the walls were a blank canvas just right for a… Continue reading Baby Room Octopus Mural…Done!

I have no idea of how many hours went into this re-modeling project. I was a big project that seemed to get bigger as the days turned into weeks, but alas it is finished. It really came a long way from being a ramshackle garage to what it is now: a studio I don’t have… Continue reading Art Studio…Done!

    I have discovered that the statement “Honey, I think I am pregnant” is code for, “Honey, I think the art studio needs to become a baby room”.  So with this statement, my pre-baby summer was dedicated in part, to converting an oil-stained, rickety, ramshackle garage into a well-organized, comfortable art studio. It was… Continue reading Goodbye Garage – Hello Studio!
