ICYMI: I was actually in an art show in 2020!
Wel
l, I'm going to try this again...I am back and ready to blog! Lol! A lot has changed since the beginning of the pandemic. I am still kind of finding my way - as I am sure many of you are as well. Now that 2021 is well underway, I am thinking about coming out of hibernation. However, I don't plan on doing live events, such as festivals or live painting, for awhile.
Brushes, Brushes, Everywhere!
Brushes, Brushes, Everywhere!
I LOVE PAINT BRUSHES!!! For an artist, there are tons of different supplies available so that you can create literally anything. It’s like being a kid and having lots of fun toys to choose from. Paint brushes are some of MY favorite toys! There’s something very special about paint brushes. Ask most artists and they will tell you they have their favorites - for reasons that are as different as the artists that love them. But then, there are so many choices!!
If at first you don't succeed...
I've been working on a commissiion for a pet portrait. This is a real challenge for me because it's a dog. I am a crazy cat lady after all! But it has been fun. So far, I've been just working on the sketch. That's part of my process. I sketch my paintings fully before painting them.
Work work work!
I have been going through some old art lately. I have quite a few old paintings that have yet to find permanent homes. Instead, they gather dust in my home - sad and lonely. So I have decided to revisit these pieces and upcycle them to give them new life.
