The Clearing

    

 Greetings and welcome to my blog, which is all about "harmonious blends and other artistic musings."

If you've found me, most likely it's because we've already met at an art fair or gallery recently and you signed my guest book, indicating you are interested in my art. If that is indeed you, then thank you! Some of you have already purchased an art piece from me. If that's you, then thank you, thank you!!

       Now that the show season is basically over for the year and the weather is cooling down, I have returned to the studio and have lit the fire in the wood stove. This is an inspiring time for me, a time to be warmed by the fire, reflect on the past year of art shows, and think about what's next. 

So far, here's what I've got planned:

By popular demand, My painting entitled "The Clearing" is now available as a print! I made the decision to print based on the interest in this piece. At one show this past summer, I had The Clearing leaning up against my sales counter. A young boy, probably 3 or 4 years old, walked up to it, as if he was entering it. That was a great compliment to me. After all, that's my intent with my art- to offer a place of solace that you can just walk into.

The original piece is acrylic on canvas and is 30 x 36. The border is a painted frame. In addition, it is framed with my signature wood frame. 

It is available in my shop for $1225, and includes free shipping. Interested? Check it out here



               The print is now available in the shop!

Prints are a limited edition,  20 x 24, and printed on archival paper.  Prints will arrive in a mailing cylinder. They are not matted or framed. 


Would you be interested in a print of The Clearing? 
If so, you can order here. Please allow 3 weeks for your order.

I would love to hear your thoughts, ideas and suggestions. I'm hoping this will be the first of several prints of the "Of the Woods" series. Feel free to comment here with your thoughts. I look forward to hearing from you!

Where it All Started

    I have always believed that people love to see behind the scenes in the artist studio. It’s like looking behind the curtain and seeing what goes on backstage, to see how the art is crafted, what tools and materials are used, and how the artist thinks.        To this end, I am thrilled to unveil a new video that tells my story of the origins of Parts of Art.  A big shout out to the producer and videographer   @Moguefilms .                                           Here are some of the pieces seen on the video.                                              Want to see more?                                           visit my shop here

Just add paint!

      It’s just that simple when painting with watercolor.  This is how I start my day in the studio. Open to a new page, fill a brush with sparkling clean water, and fill the page or pages. Then, add watercolor paint and let it do its thing.              The daily studio routine is this:  clock in at 9 and paint that page in my journal.       I realize that the painting on this page could become a beautiful fabric design, a batiked collage, or an amazing painted wall hanging. But my POINT is that I start my studio day with water on a page and go from there.           As far as the illustrated journal, yes it’s true. Any thing done on these hallowed pages could become some great masterpiece someday. But that’s clearly not the intent. The journal is the place to play, to experiment, to express,  to answer the question “what if ?” It’s about the inspiring and refreshing place my mind enters once that water on the page turns to color. It’s where it starts.  Does it matter

Best advice ever

      I was eagerly, breathlessly waiting outside the door of the 3rd floor painting studio, anticipating my turn at the hallowed easel. There, the renowned and venerable professor would lovingly and patiently teach me how to paint with oils.  Now here I was, in the very studio of my dreams. And all I would hear from the renowned and wise professor was (after a long and awkward pause, her looking over my shoulder)  “Well, finish this one and go on to the next one.”       Embarrassment. Heartbreak. Doubt. Anger. All these stirred up inside me while sitting in front of that easal. How was I to finish this one and go on to the next one when I didn’t know HOW? Could you just SHOW ME HOW?      Looking back now, I fully realize that was the best advice I could’ve gotten at the time. After all, the only way to learn how to paint is to paint, paint, paint and paint some more.   Now that I am a mixed media collage artist, that advice sounds in my mind every time I pain
