Welcome to my studio, its kind of a mess and a work in progress itself.
Its nice to see visitors from all over the world
who drop in for a look.

Have a look around. MAKE COMMENTS (?) , ideas, critiques or funny jokes.

I'd really like to hear what you think and have a chance to see what you're up to!

Something completely different

Need a break and something to sketch so I took part in this challenge at Gary Keimig's site. You'll have to scroll down a ways, meaning you'll get to see Gary's stunning paintings of snowy valleys in Wyoming. Beautiful work!







This was fun...spent about an hour, pretending I was using a pencil and using up paint on my palette from another painting.

  3. hmmm. martha stewart of art? does that mean I have to make my own linseed oil from flax i grow myself? and grind up interesting colored pebbles for pigment? Arrghhh...not enough time for that!!

    I know you meant that as a compliment, which I will now graciously accept!!

  4. LOL!!

    I am glad you do. Martha Stewart has assistants to do all the prep work for her but I believe she still has a couple of creative ideas of her own.
