View the video above for a glimpse into what one of my Cocktails & Canvases painting events are like. Click here if the video isn't working above. Saturday's Cocktails & Canvases was so fun to host. We had a full group which started as a normal event but until mid-day Friday I decided to make the event FREE to everyone. Why?  Well, the government shutdown is affecting everyone, but especially in and around the DC area where so many [...]

DAY 13: FIELD OF TULIPS Welcome to Day 13 of your challenge! Today's challenge is to be selective what we choose to paint, and only paint what we enjoy the most to paint. So for example, this is a field of tulips that I painted for an online auction. The perspective is that you're laying down on the field and looking through the flowers and at the sky. Which flower makes you feel the most joy [...]

“Perfect alignment – that’s what painting feels like to me. My intention is always to paint with a wholeheartedness and an awareness that transcends the brushstrokes to feelings of unconditional love for the viewer.” – Erica Eriksdotter When I started painting at age seven, I thought you had to be dead before you could be a successful painter. It was the mid-1980’s and my only reference to a painter’s life came from stories I heard about the old [...]

Challenge Day 8

DAY 8: FLOWERS IN THE AIR And we're on to Day 8 - welcome! A painting practice doesn't have to be something elaborate or time-consuming or only for serious painters. Nor doesn't it have to be a finished painting or a full picture. So much of my own painting practice these days is to hone in on a certain area and layer of a pet portrait to focus on. Little by little something larger is [...]
