As I started this post about my upcoming class “Revealing the Color Purple” I wanted to share something that would spark an interest in you. It was then that this watercolor “Iris I” came to mind and all I could remember was how much I truly enjoyed creating this painting! It was one of my best moments I have had painting, it felt like having a home-made meal that takes you back to childhood and reminds you of good times. Sometimes we get so caught up in processes, materials and overflow of information that we overlook the simple stuff and how to really use what we have on hand. We believe that if we buy another tube of color the paint fairy will dust it with magic and it will magically create a masterpiece…not!
I want to share that experience and how I learned to get out of the color rut on Saturday, January 21 (oh yeah, it’s my Bday and I like chocolate!) at the Rochester Art Club Studio at the Hungerford Building. Click on the link to download the Registration form along with the supply list!

This is my New Year’s gift to you!

I have been blessed with all the entries coming in for naming my recent triptych painting of callas. The titles are so inspiring, surprising and truly amazing! This is going to be a very difficult choice to make!
Quick reminder: if you were sent the message, please make sure you include the name of the person that reshared with you so I can give them proper credit! The posting should include “Giving by (name of person that emailed you)…”
Thank you and keep on sharing!

To win this watercolor it’s very simple, give me a fantastic title for my latest painting, an acrylic triptych of glowing calla lilies:

Oh wait, there’s more!
If you reshare on twitter or on facebook, the most reshares will win a free print (not shown), I know I’m feeling very generous! The person resharing must indicate “Giving from …” in the post here. Now go, be creative, have fun and spread the word!
