I am in the midst of cleaning out my office/studio and I came across this old watercolor sketch I did in college. You can see how much I am attracted to organized chaos in this piece! Totally makes sense why I loved that William Loveless piece so much!

Images From the Train

Last night I came home late from the city. The train was so quite and peaceful. I took a few shots as the train speed through various towns up to Connecticut. The light captured gets spread across the large black space creating bursts of marks in the sky. The images to me are really beautiful and simple.

I have stretched!

 I have stretched!

One stretcher down…9 more to go. My boyfriend asked for 10 paintings for Christmas. So I am going to let the gesso dry on this canvas and then put a base color down to dry overnight. I’ll then have room then to stretch another canvas in the morning. The next canvas is more rectangular. I only have room to do 2 paintings at a time in my small studio.
