Recently I've revisited watercolor painting.  These past few weeks I've enjoyed both the bright pigments and the slow and meditative way that I have been applying the paint.  It feels therapeutic and healing to create this way.  It is gentle and peaceful.  Sometimes it is random, and other times the work is inspired by memories or dreams.  There is an ease that seems to be so rare these days.  I really enjoy looking through the stack of finished work--seeing the bright colors, interesting watermarks, and the way they all combine.  There is such serenity.   I thought you might be up for some hope and joy and brightness in your life, too.  I decided I would share these works with the world.  I have matted them, so they are all ready for the frame of your choice.  I am offering these "Slices of Serenity" for $40 each.  (Shipping is available for a small additional charge.).

I have a new class coming up in April at White Rabbit Galleries!  I'm excited to create the class and work with a new group of creative and curious folks! Do you love beach glass, driftwood, and lake tumbled rocks?  Would you like to assemble them into pieces of art?  This class is for you!  It also includes and optional early morning field trip on April 6 for beach combing with me at my favorite Lake Erie beach.  Please share this with your people, and invite a friends because it will be even more fun when you have someone to share with.

  It's all about INSPIRE and Inspiration.  Doesn't that feel so timely down deep in your soul?  It sure does to me!  Winter has been long and bleak, and it's not over yet.  There seems to be so much uncertainty and chaos swirling around us.  Believe it or not this is the best time to be inspired {and then turn around and be an inspiration.} I'm planning that at least half the time will be journaling or creative time together, so you will want paper and a pen for sure! This time you might want to bring some art supplies.  It can be anything--markers, crayons, color pencils, paint--whatever works for you! Here are the journal pages I made for you.
