Four

It's been too long since I lasted posted. My business is growing in exciting and unexpected ways and I've been working to accommodate both its growth as well as the time I would like to have as an artist. I took an incredible class at the Scottsdale Artist's School with Sherrie McGraw, David Leffel, and Jaqueline Kamin two weeks ago. I'm so thankful for their brilliance as instructors and their generosity in sharing their knowledge. This is my second ever attempt to paint a figure in oil.

I loved being able to paint from 9-5 each day. We were all joking about how frustrating and exhausting learning to oil paint is and how your brain starts to lose it's battle by about day 3. One student said "You forget who you are and who you owe money to." It's then that the magic happens and you shift from seeing according to your familiar habits and perceptions to seeing what is truly right in front of you.
