I would love to have you join me in class!!

Time for a Name Change...

Hello Beautiful!

I hope you are having a good day - getting rest, meeting your spiritual needs, nourishment, and activity.  For me, everything else falls into place when all those needs are met. 

I've decided to change the name of my blog.  My creative groove has changed over the years, and I want the title to reflect where I am.   As I get older, I find I'm managing being human. I have many dreams, thoughts, wishes, and goals.  I will not achieve all of them in my lifetime; however, I will achieve the ones I prioritize and invest time in. 

I appreciate you reading and following my blog. I hope my words and art inspire and encourage you, as many people have done for me. 

 Shout Out: to everyone and every experience I have encountered in my life.

Peace and Love!

Blooms - Acrylic and Watercolor

Hello Beautiful!

Is it spring yet?! Where are you, sister?! I needed warmth and recently took a flower painting class with Christie Herrmann Hawkins. I came out of the class with an acrylic and a watercolor version of bold blooming flowers.

I am a lifelong learner with many classes on my list. I love checking out new teachers, exploring new techniques, getting various tips and tricks from multiple people, and then see how I can fit them into my style.  I’m partial to the black outline, just a smidge. Painting with Christie @thesocialeasel brought back warm memories of watching Carol DuVall back in the day before YouTube - does anyone remember Carol?! Priscilla Hauser was a frequent guest, and I loved her decorative art paintings. That’s the first place I remember seeing a black outline of painted flowers. I took a photo of the piece before I added the black line.

Which style do you prefer, white outline (yesterday’s post), black outline, or no outline?

 Shout Outs: Christie is a lovely teacher. Austin Kleon, Author of Steal Like an Artist. I read Austin's book once a year.
