Stuff Going On in my Studio

I sent this little acrylic 6x6 inch painting off to New Orleans recently.  Happy it's found a wonderful home in such a great city!

This is an example of some postcards I made recently, to send out to art friends.  It's ink and watercolor on a heavy watercolor paper.

Made this ink and watercolor postcard for an art swap.  The theme was squares.  Nobody said the squares had to be perfect :)  I'm kind of partial to the dog. 🐕☮😀

Don't Worry - Just Create

I love this quote by Isabelle Allende.  I find it to be extremely accurate!  I know that lots of times I don't "feel" like creating art, but if I sit down and start painting anyway - well, wow, the things that emerge are so interesting.  Not that I'm making great art or anything, but the ideas and the thought patterns will rise up and out comes a creative work that I had no idea was lurking in there.

I put this quote on a background of a gelli print that I had made with acrylics and painted a turtle on top of it with more acrylic and markers.  

I haven't been updating here as much as I'd like to.  I hope I can get back into a regular posting pattern.  

Here are some funky postcards created for an art swap.  The colors were purple and silver with black & white accents.

Did I mention that sometimes the muse takes a little while to show up - haha!  This is a good example of before :)

It's still rewarding to create, even if things aren't moving along as fast as you'd like.  Just relax and do whatever and your inspiration will come along and surprise you.  

Hope you're enjoying your day!  ☮💜✌
