Art Journal
For awhile, months actually…I’ve been working on an art journal. Mostly I’ve been enjoying preparing each page to be a background for an image. It’s been a fun, slow process. (And I do mean s-l-o-w…I expect it will take years to fill the book’s almost 100 page spreads and I’m loving that pace.) Rather than

More Creative Play
Acrylic paint, fabric tape, watercolors, colored pencils, ink, pastels, markers & no pre-planning. Just because. ~ k

From Australia to Rwanda (sort of)
I've been away from painting & creating for quite awhile. (Just part of my normal creative cycle.) So this girl is just some playing I did after being inspired by an online class I'm taking…Taught by Jane Davenport out of Australia – it's easily the best e-course I've ever taken.

Another Experiment
Painted on a 24×30" canvas…she's the one I mentioned at the end of this post. I love all the colors and had a lot of fun with the messy background. 🙂 ~ k

Something Different
This is the painting I made right before the Bee Girl painting. It was kind of an experiment in perspective for me. Most all of the girls I paint are looking directly at the viewer…maybe with their eyes looking off to the side, but their face is always straight to the front. So I wanted

B (bee) Girl, part II
Sold! That's what the little orange dot on the tag means. She sold 2 days after the show opened. I'm so excited and yet sad that she won't be coming home with me because I really love this piece. I hope I can find out who bought her and where she will live. In a
