December Plans

Tuesday, November 30, 2010

Today is the last day of my month long projects of Art Every Day Month and NaNoDrawMo. I am happy to report that I have completed fifty drawings/paintings and have made artwork on the vast majority of days this month. I almost didn’t finish because I have caught my mother’s cold and was sick in […]

My Purple Room

Sunday, September 26, 2010

I’ve been spending a lot of time in this room lately and I’ve gotten it cleaned out enough to show you all a picture. Like I said earlier, the purple walls aren’t my favorite, but I really didn’t feel like painting them right now. And I am so excited to have my own space at […]

Summertime is a Good Time

Sunday, August 1, 2010

…or at least it’s supposed to be a good time. July has been my worst month to date in terms of productivity. Everything, from my own sketchbooks to my posting frequency, has gone downhill, probably because I am very preoccupied with other matters. Whenever I start drawing something I seem to get distracted. I find […]

Open Tulips

Friday, July 16, 2010

These are some tulips that I painted recently from a photo I took back in March. I haven’t painted flowers in ages and I sort of missed it. Plus it has been so hot these days that I haven’t even been going outside to sketch. Organizing has been a big theme of mine this year. […]

Recent Workshops, Part Two

Tuesday, June 29, 2010

This is the second part to this post, where I write about two separate one day (10 am – 4 pm) workshops I recently took. This workshop was on the subject of Matting and Framing. I learned a lot of valuable info, even though I would have liked some things about the class to be a […]

Recent Workshops, Part One

Sunday, June 20, 2010

I have a lot going on in my life right now, but I am pleased that I had a chance to take some art classes this year. I’ve already told you about the acrylic painting class that I’m taking, but I also signed up for a couple of Saturday workshops. Last week I took a […]

Developments

Friday, June 18, 2010

I barely turned on my computer all week, and I haven’t been doing much drawing because of the art classes that I’ve been taking. I know that I am making an investment in myself though, and already I feel that my knowledge has increased. Plus, I have been spending some time on the water, which has […]

Seashells, interior and exterior

Sunday, May 23, 2010

I put off posting earlier this week, not because I had nothing to say, but because I had so much other stuff going on. On Friday I had my first acrylic painting class (which I will write a separate post on). I have also been doing lots of other painting and drawing.  Partly because I had […]

A Massive Undertaking

Sunday, March 28, 2010

Yesterday I undertook a project of massive proportions: I organized all my art stuff. It was one of my 2010 art goals, but I probably wouldn’t have done it so soon if we didn’t need the dining room table for Easter dinner. I spent over eight hours in total. First I sorted and found things […]

The Year End and Beginning

Wednesday, December 30, 2009

This is the Connecticut River as seen from the French King Bridge, in Franklin County Massachusetts. Of all the goals I set for myself in 2009, I can honestly say that I only met one of them, which was to work in a series. For me, 2009 was all about getting back on my feet […]
