Scenes from the studio (via instagram)....

When a teeny tiny heart lands on your canvas by surprise you take it as a sign. And you leave it there. #whatdoesitmean #loveiseverywhere #brushstrokes

Open Studio tomorrow! Second Sunday, 10am-2pm. Bring a project to work on, a friend, a snack, and $15. We do have a few people signed up so it's a GO. Come hang with us! I have extra supplies to share if you need to borrow some. #openstudio #artstudio #creativecommunity
I'm often asked if all I teach is still life painting. The easy answer is no. But I do believe that most paintings (whether representational or abstract) start with the same foundation... a respect for and understanding of form, value, light, color, volume, scale, relationships, texture, etc. From there you can move in any direction, but it will be purposeful. This mess of paint is my still life today. What does yours look like?
