Blogging not my cup of tea, even though our minds work nonstop, I don't believe a lot of it is worth sharing.  I am currently working on some new pieces, trying to get more relaxed in my style.
They say art is never really finished it just stops in interesting places. I have found if I leave work on the easel after I have signed it, I will generally find this or that I wish to change and the longer it stays there the more I find.

Here are some ideas I am currently working on.  I have a few more up my sleeve.
This is just the start of these projects, I normally do some quick drawing with paint, then add a little color to see where I want to go with the work.
As you can see there will be a lot of refining. That is the fun process. Once the idea gets going it is like driving to a destination. The scenery changes along the way :)

I am excited to be working on new paintings...
A beach scene, a couple of boats, a Venice one I am loving and a couple of old buildings.
And yes I am working on all of them at the same time, some I started some time ago and have a renewed interest. It is wonderful to be in the flow again!
In the mean time here are a couple of necklaces I made before starting back to painting

And I have made a bit of jewelry,View them all @

Now that I have completed this commission, (with the patron approving)  I wanted to share what I have been working on, it was definitely out of my venue :)
Its called 'Hydrocity" You can see the progression. Enjoy!

Time passed

It has been some time since I have posted,  Life has changed for me.......
While caring for my dearest Friend, my momma....I had to leave painting for a while, I started making gemstone jewelry as it was easier to leave the creative zone as often as I needed too.

My dear momma has now passed on to "home" as she called it. I am back working with a hole that can't be filled right now, I think she took a piece of me with her. She has left me wonderful memories, laugh's and wise advice, thank you Momma!
Till we meet again........
Here are the creative endeavor's
I have been working on since we last talked.
