What an amazing weekend! Oh boy, did Richmond deliver! First, a quick 'thank you' to Ada-Marie over at Spark! and Christine over at Chromicling all the days of our lives.. for both promoting my participation in the Arts in the Park last week. And to my sister who bought me a wonderful lavender flower to decorate the booth and chocolate for my customers. Thanks for the support ladies! I could not believe the 22 long rows of white [...]
You may be surprised that this artist worked as an accountant for many years before officially taking the leap into the painting world. I stumbled across her work while browsing Etsy a couple of months ago and I couldn’t stop looking at her paintings! What a talented woman! "Bert the Rooster" and "Eileen the Cow" by Cari Humphry - don't you love these names? Cari Humphry’s paintings are so much fun! I have no idea how she brings [...]
Library of Congress from the view of my camera phone. As an artist, I draw most of my inspiration from Mother Earth, but visiting national museums and historic buildings in Washington DC can be equally as inspiring. When you live right smack in the middle of the monuments and famous buildings, you tend to forget to explore them. Not too long ago, Casey and I headed downtown to explore the Library of Congress. Did you know it's the [...]

‘Studio Eriksdotter’ is turning 5 years old! Let’s celebrate with a HUGE SALE! […]
The drive along Highway 1 is mostly just one lane but if you go through LA or other big cities, it will be bigger roads. The beach will go from stretched out to big cliffs, to houses right on the water to farmers plowing their land along. It's very different and changes along the drive. We rented a convertable to take in most of the scenery, and though it was sometimes a little chilly we still drove with [...]
Every fall Casey and I make a day trip to the Shenandoah Mountains, and this time around we went before the leaves started changing. We got engaged on top of Stoney Man Outlook in 2008 so it's a special place for us. The view is just beautiful and it's a quick and easy hike (which is key for me as I don't have much cardio!). The camp grounds in the national park are popular and book up a year in advance, and [...]

No experience needed and all materials are included. Each session is limited to 6 [...]
