Hatching Ideas

I had a long commute to work today as a passenger. I was tired of the radio, and watching other cars, go by. I looked in my handbag to see what I could find, so that I wouldn't fall asleep! I'm not usually my best with sleep lines on my face from odd head positions while napping with no pillow. Rummaging through my big tote bag yielded a Christmas catalog, a six-inch ruler, scissors, a couple of pieces of watercolor paper, my KOI pocket field sketch box with water brush, a glue stick, micro-pen, and a graphite pencil.  I knew today was the only time I was going to have a small chunk of time to do an illustration for the prompt for ...

Night Pacings…Putting Myself Out There…Revelatory

I am sleeping badly. My mind and body feels tired, but as soon as I lie down, my mind becomes alert, goes into overdrive and over-active. I paced the floor or I read until the early hours of the morning, then I finally fall asleep. My norm is hyper-sensitive, anxious and quick to become annoyed. My voice trembles, not from anger, but from passion. about what I believe in. When I was younger, people thought, it was nervousness or some type of rage; my inner tensions were so great, I had debilitating migraine headaches. After intense mental, emotional and spiritual therapy, the end result is and was that I need art to be a part of my daily ... Continue Reading »

Professional Fine Artist Network

For you, fine artist bloggers, I've found another great place for professional artists to network and to promote themselves. No, pFAn (their acronym) is not paying me for the advertising plug, I think of it as another way to promote yourself, if you're an artist and it's free until the end of the year! We artists, who are depending on our livelihood, should check it out. I'm an artist that shares and every artist has something to share and the world is big enough for all of us to do so. Professional Artist Network is a networking index for fine artists and consultants working in the hospitality, healthcare, corporate and public art ... Continue Reading »
