But sharing is tricky. My aim (need?) has always been to appear accomplished, polished. Works in progress (WIPs) are messy, half-done,...

. I have been working on a new series of paintings. This first one has a working title of Red Bird. I will not promise it is finished. A...

. Recently, I was fortunate enough to spend about 5 days with a great friend and artist, Diane Kramer. We met at a workshop taught by...

January, 2011, I decided to join the Sketchbook Challenge. I did so, quite frankly, with reluctance. Why? I am driven to pick up on and...

Or perhaps I just live a sheltered life, and my statement (title) only makes that patently obvious. Looking at this piece, I would say my...

Fences. They protect and they hide. They can be quite decorative, or hideously ominous and imposing. Some of us feel fenced in, others...

I took the painting Suspended and made a little “value map” of it. I did it with quick, inaccurate strokes and  a light, dark and medium...

I discovered that I love painting on construction paper. I know, I know–all the objections. I don’t care. And by the time I’m through...
