I haven't been on FAA much lately. Oh, here and there, sorta hit and miss, but I have not spent a lot of time on it... Besides this being a normally busy time of year for me, the flood along the Front Range here in Colorado has really taken its tol... 

Not long ago, Robert Genn, of the Twice Weekly Art Letters, wrote about something I had never heard of before. As I read the description, I felt I had an experience related to what he was describing. Recently, the Denver Art Museum had an outst... 

I have read that one's emotions while painting really influence the outcome of one's work. I believe this to be true. I am generally in a good mood when I paint, because it is one of my favorite activities. I love God's creation, and I love paintin... 

Time management...I still stink at it. Don't get me wrong--I get a LOT of things done...but I know I could still improve. I just read this blog and felt it worthy of sharing. Hope it helps you!  

I am wondering how you all feel about signatures. Is your signature a work of art in itself? Do you work hard on it, or do you just "dash it down" in an artistic manner? Do you strive to make it always the same, or is "close" good enough? When... 

I am currently participating in this wonderful show of work produced either on site at Lillian Kennedy's Art Workshop in NYC, spring 2011, or from photos we took while there. There are seven artists included in the show: Lillian Kennedy (our fearle...

Discounts! ...Everyone LOVES to get a bargain! I know I do...so today I decided to give a discount on items purchased through this website. What do you think of discounts? I'd love to know.... 

The most important thing I learned this year is that I don’t spend enough time actually painting in my studio. Oh, I do all sorts of art-related things, which makes me feel like I’m working on art, and I guess I am. But I’ve realized that ... 

July 15, 2010...My first EVER blog will quickly get to the point....I was born in an artsy place...New Orleans, Louisiana. And, I discovered that besides being surrounded in an environment filled with art, that I also have art in my blood--I'm ... 

I guess I was mistaken, for here I find myself blogging again. Wow...I have had an intense four weeks of painting... and not only painting, but painting plein-air! Prior to the past four weeks, I had been plein-air painting several times. I quick...
