I throw out 99 percent of the visual art I create. Crazy, I know, but I move too much and make too much to keep it all. Honestly, most of my work is not even created with the intention of being kept or hung on a wall. Most of the paintings that I post on … Continue reading I Throw Out My Art

Birthday Girl
Today is my 36th birthday. My husband has spoiled me all day. Well, he always spoils me, but today he got me paints and tempera paint sticks and gelatos. Also, he got me a lovely art book.

As I've written before, my husband loves to cook, and historically in our marriage he did the cooking. Now though, time has gone by, and … Continue reading Cooking, Sewing, Art Journaling
