A Happy Hello!
So, what’s up with you? I’ve been painting - a lot! Between the art intensive class I’m taking and painting for the show, it’s a lot of studio time for me. But, I’m still making time to be outside in the beginning of the mountain spring - that’s too fine to miss! And, there’s a new thing going on in here - read on to find out more…
A Podcast - Sorta, Kinda…
I’m trying a new thing: a podcast version of these updates. It’s not exactly me just reading the text, though I’ll go over what’s in here. I’ll talk about the updates in a bit more depth as well as add other thoughts and things going on too. I’m recording it live and it’s unedited - it's just me talking with you.
The first episode is ready here and I’ll aim to have the audio versions come out a few days after the written updates. You’ll get a quick email note when they’re ready. If you have any questions or thoughts you’d like to hear, let me know in the comments or click reply and tell me. Come on over to the studio with me, I'd love to have you there!
Oddities, Strange Creatures and Self Discovery
The painting above is the newest one from the current series and I’m still exploring the ideas here. It’s funny how the idea or theme for the series seems to come first but what it means and what I’m expressing doesn’t become clear until I’m well into, or even done with, the paintings. Each one gives me another clue to what I’m working out. This depth making and finding is something I’ve only discovered as I’ve grown into my own creativity. It’s both exhilarating and unnerving!
Thanks for being here with me and be sure to click reply or drop me comment because I love to hear from you!
Shine On!
