Hi There!
The seasons are changing and Halloween is on the way! I’m so glad you’re here with me on the creative path and wanted to share a little autumn with you. This phone wallpaper background is from a watercolor painting that I did several years ago and it’s still one of my favorites.

Creative Cycles
Lately, I’ve been in a creative rest phase - which sounds better than it feels sometimes! It’s a normal part of my own creative cycle and I’ve gotten used to it but during this time I find I’m at loose ends in the studio. I’m going in and painting or doing other things but nothing really holds my interest. For example, here’s a painting that I’ve had on the easel for a while and have also painted over many times. The last version with the orbs is my reaction to the first ones not coming together LOL
While it’s a little unsettling to be in this phase, it’s also a place to explore and see what happens. I’ve got an idea for adding more three dimensional elements to my mixed media work - we’ll see how that goes…
Shop, Shop
After many questions and requests (thank you so much!) I finally set up a proper place, on Etsy, for you to buy art and prints. The selection will likely always be small and changing because I’m going full ahead on the studio practice of giving most pieces an expiration date. That means things will be available for their life span and then destroyed. I’ll also be sending you coupons, special discounts and other fun things too!
Like this coupon - just for subscribers - that gives you 50% off an original piece of art. Just use code NIFTYFIFTY at check out.
There’s more coming soon! Another hallmark of these rest phases is that new ideas can form and start to come into being - I’ve got something in mind for more connection over art and creativity. More to come…
Thank you again for walking this journey with me - you’re the best!
