Well hello again!

Has anyone else had a tough time getting back into the swing of things after the holidays?  It was a glorious end to the year for me.  I had a wonderful Open Studio event at the beginning of December and then slipped into Christmas preparations for the rest of the month.  Because my house was pretty much all decorated I could relax a bit and enjoy my holidays. 

However . . . the more time I'm away from my work routine, the more difficult it is to get back into it and am paying the price now.  Ha!  But that's okay.

Just so you know, I still have some 2017 calendars left and they're on sale, so if you're interested, please hop on over to my storenvy shop!  Free shipping in the U.S.

I hope you all had joyous holidays and wish you the best for the year to come!

A Little Bit of Progress

"Glass Study" - sip

This still needs a lot more work, but we're getting there.  Happy Friday and thank you for stopping by.

Student Work

images from "Guided Watercolors" class

I thought I'd share some student work with you.  The collage above is from the course I just finished up at www.workshop13.org.  Yesterday's post was about my next two Fall classes, you can view that here if you missed it.

The images below are from some of my private lesson students.  We are presently working on some glass. I think the paintings are looking fantastic.  Due to vacations, I only have two to show for now but hope to have another couple to post next week.

And here are some other projects students have been working on lately.  Good work!

I feel so lucky to have such talented students!  :)  Thanks for stopping by.

Still More Work To Do

Thought I'd share my progress.  Also, below are some pictures from my last 5-week watercolor class at Workshop13 in Ware.  I had a great time with "my ladies" -- and I think you'll agree they did a fabulous job painting glass.  It's a difficult subject and they handled it beautifully!

My next class will be about painting on aquabord and we begin on Tuesday, April 15th.  What better way to spend tax day, eh?  :)  

The following painting will be the subject of my upcoming aquabord class.  I'm already getting excited!  Thank you for stopping by.

I Just . . . Couldn't . . . Help . . . Myself

watercolor on aquabord

I was in the mood for an aquabord, was in need of a little spring and am still on a painting glass kick, (practicing for my upcoming class at Workshop13) so I started another painting.  Gaaaah!  We all  know how that goes with me  Will I finish?  Hopefully.  I have a few unfinished numbers around here (to say the least . . . I know, I know . . . I'll get to `em, someday!)  In the meantime I just couldn't help myself.  

And if you're in the mood for some more paintings of glass, check out Carrie Waller's blog -- she is the queen of painting glass.  She's painting a series of lightbulbs now -- amazing stuff!

Thanks for stopping by . . . have a great day!

Finished!
