DAY 5: YOUR HAND Welcome to Day 5. Today I offer a word prompt to tap into your imagination: Your Hand. Our hands are amazing and today we're going to honor them by painting them. When I was a teenager, I saw Michelangelo's painting "The Creation of Adam" in the Sistine Chapel (Rome, Italy) and it left a big impression on me. I left Vatican's gift shop with a letter paper pad showing a detailed [...]
I'm painting all day today as I'm about to finish another larger piece, but I figured it was time for a post where I show you what I do when I'm NOT painting. I hope you had a fantastic long weekend and that you're enjoying the shorter work-week. We get the long-weekends so seldom it's almost like we go into mourning once they are over. It's a little different when you're a full-time painter and can ease into [...]

And that kinda set the tone for the rest of the day. Armed with a cocktail in hand, [...]
I can't deny it feels great to see that the April 6 event is sold out! Woot! I'm so excited. And I've already booked another private event which will take place in May.

I hope you will! The next available date is May [...]

{Stella, the Mischievous - original acrylic on 10x10 inches gallery wrapped canvas} "It is identical to her! The picture captures her mischievous yet charming nature."- L.D. of Virginia Stella's mom is the blog owner of Sadie + Stella (yup, named after her two dogs) who won one of my giveaways a few years ago (can you spot what she won?). She's followed my adventure since, and when she saw that I started painting pets, she jumped at the [...]
