Busy non stop world we live in. I woke up today fed my cat, took my thyroid pill. I put on a pot of water to make tea. Washed my face, brushed my teeth, put moisturizer on my face and got dressed. The mail man delivered my embosser so I hurried up and embossed my…

Mentor
Did you ever go to school and have someone review your homework? Me neither. Assignments went directly to the teacher. I was a A student. I loved school, until I no longer went to school. I took a few college classes in accounting. I should have went to UC Berkeley after high school, but it…

No art
People don’t want to buy your art, they want to see your face. They want to get to know who is the artist. I have found my love of art again. Lucky to have a wonderful husband that recently gifted me the tuition for the Milan Art Institute Mastery program. A year long non accredited…

What are you painting
During the week I will watercolor. I don’t have much time each evening to paint. I get home from work, eat dinner, watercolor for a few hours, take a shower, go to bed; every other evening. Some evenings I go to the gym and don’t watercolor. Those evenings I draw. My Father passed away when…
