Painting Challenge Prep

2022-09-15T12:11:58-04:00

PREP WORK LESSON 1: YES, YOU CAN PAINT Before we start the Painting Challenge, I want to let you know that I firmly believe everyone can paint. Yes, I hear it all the time "I'm not good at painting" or "I can't even draw a stick figure". It's OK if you're one of them. I still have moments of doubts early on within a pet portrait process and I'm a successful painter. My [...]

How to host a virtual painting party

2022-03-03T10:06:47-05:00

If you're craving that social aspect that some painting events bring, why not host your own painting party with your favorite friends!? I loved hosting my 'Cocktails & Canvases' painting parties many years ago. People with all skill-levels (or none!) enjoyed choosing one of my prints as their inspiration and picking paint colors and brushes from my own stash. These were fun and relaxing events that made long lasting memories. I even had a music playlist, a [...]

The making of Luke

2024-08-27T08:09:29-04:00

Darling Luke was such a wonderful dog to paint. It was the third portrait this client ordered from me and the first dog, her pride and joy. She had rescued him when he was a little wee one and at the time I painted his portrait, he was 16 years. Sadly he passed away shortly after the painting was complete, and the painting, which was ordered to be a tribute to his long and beautiful life, is now [...]

Today is the last day to sign up for the Cocktails and Canvases sessions for this Saturday! I recently received this lovely note from one of the creative souls from the last event:  I had such a great time! I brought my bff as a belated bday present. We each have 3 kids and don't get much time to ourselves. It was so great to have a creative outlet, benefit from Erica's guidance in a low-pressure environment, enjoy [...]

Here's a shout out to some of my artist friends who participated in the recent Arts in the Park in Richmond, Va. These are my go-to people that will help me feel normal, cheer me on and convince me not to give up when times are rough.  The marvelous Lisa Ashinoff who showed her city scapes in Richmond. [...]
