Since my four 4×4 pieces sold at the Member fundraiser at CCMA, I delivered these (all 4×4) to replace them (one extra in case another one sells.) In the past, working small could take me about as much effort and time as the larger pieces, but I was able to finish these quickly. Enthusiasm for …
I started making these cards when I found out that some members of The Society of Layerists in Multi-Media (SLMM) were exchanging Artist Trading Cards (ATC) next year. ATC or ACEO are 3.5 x 2.5 inch art pieces. Since I have put these up for sale on Daily Paintworks, I call them ACEO Cards (Art …
Here are a few of my art pieces on display at the Riverside Art Museum. Thanks to Mark Schooley for featuring these and also some beautiful work by Mary Gehley.
Since March, I joined a collage group that meets once a month to share work responding to a prompt. For our last Zoom meeting, we made pieces from recycled material. I cleaned out old catalogs and sifted through the waste basket…love this kind of recycling. I also took a 3-week online course with Lewis Noble, …

Thanks to this talented composer and …

I chose a bouquet that turned out to be difficult to paint because I could not create a pleasing color arrangement. Two of the flowers were white and one of those white ones was almost directly at the middle top of the vase. (Didn’t get a photo of this.) I kept painting, added collage, and …
I admire many artists who continue to work in a single genre exclusively, such as landscapes, abstracts, portraits…and perhaps use the same media while continuing to make exciting and varied work. It may be that I have a short attention span, although I think my need to work in different genres and with different mediums …
I’ve been taking online art lessons in various methods of painting and collage. Here are some of the pieces I’ve produced in the last few weeks. The two long narrow pieces are 6 x 11 inches. Although the two with birches in them look the largest here, they are the smallest–3.5 x 5 inches. The …
