Just sold this lovely, little, mixed media piece created in 2007 and titled "Promises To Keep," in my Etsy shop. Sigh, I love letting my creations go out to live on their own in the world!

Look how beautiful the colors of Autumn are...(trying to focus on the positive on this wint'ry cold October day!)

This painting is being featured in an Etsy treasury, here is the link: http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=88725

**sigh**

It has been quite a summer!

I moved...I also moved my studio, which is great because it is now downstairs from my living space, which will enable me to spend more time painting.... except that on August 1, I BROKE MY DAMN ARM! Badly, I might add! Lol. I even had surgery. Two firsts for me. Oh well. Everything happens for a reason, and it has been a summer of wonderful learning experiences. (Even if I did not make it to Hawaii because I was in surgery!)

Anyway, it is still summer, the weather is hot, I am having an awesome time hanging out with my sister, and I will be healed and painting again before long.

Recent Painting

This is a very recent painting where I used a new color-Interference Blue. The photo does not do the color justice, it's a very iridescent blue with violet hints. It looks great in direct sunlight! This piece is oil on canvas, about 18 x 24 and has many layers, including a map under it all.
