Apologies for my Absence

Published on

Dear Faithfuls, Please understand my absence is not for lack of caring. I have been on the road for four straight weeks. There should be a medal for this kind of dedication. Actually I enjoy teaching and the chance to share my passion for making things. Every class has it’s own personality. As a matter of fact I have never had 2 that were the same.

Classes are like people. Many are eager, some anxious, a few will work all night while others enjoy happy hour and quiet conversation. As usual balance is the key to happiness and success.

I took advantage of my time with each group to share my most recent search. I am presently into tracing everything – scissors, tools, brushes, and anything that will lay still and flat. Here are a few of my efforts.

Give this a try. It is fun and you don’t have to draw.

I love everything about painting. I love feeling the paint, seeing a rich color spread under my brush onto a surface, and the play between colors coming together. I love watching my idea take form until a painting finally says “it” and I am surprised and delighted every time. I love sharing my art and knowing that someone is moved by it.
