Turning the Tide




32X40 pastel on board



This piece was difficult to say the least. Difficult and rewarding. I must have erased twice as much as I drew, and the matte board was bowed so much that I wanted to toss it out numerous times and start on a new one! But persistence pays off. I discovered again how much I love to create and what a humbling and challenging experience it is.

Artists at work!


Ever since Kristin gifted me a beautiful easel, we decided to turn our dining room into an art studio. Since that time it has been creation station. It has been great to finally work again and to have my children learning and creating along with me. The wall is full of their latest and greatest.
