This #painting first began as an alla prima still life I created from a fresh floral bouquet, small teapot, dish, and orange. I added more details later on after the painting dried. It was also the first time I ever tried anything ‘alla prima’. #art

Recently, I published a blog post featuring an #artist I admire: Jimena Agra. Yesterday, I received a package from her in the mail that include three prints of some of her #paintings and a thank you card. I love them! #art #gratitude

Started two new art projects today: First, the start of a realism #drawing in graphite. (on 18×24-inch newsprint) Second, stated a new mark making #painting in the style of Van Gogh. First time trying this style of painting. 16×20-inch canvas painted in black acrylic as the base layer.

Latest update on realism oil painting. The area I struggled the most with was achieving a very thin, controlled line with the paintbrush. However, it was an enjoyable exercise and a nice break from painting on the larger 16×20-inch canvas as this was only 8×10 in size. #spiritchat #art #painting

Another progress pic of my first small scale realism oil painting on 8x10 primed wood. Getting closer! Not quite there yet. #art #painting #KindledConnection

Many years ago, I first started teaching myself how to paint in #watercolors by watching the OPB channel. I was inspired by a popular watercolor artist at that time. Susan Scheewe. This was one of my first watercolor paintings from one of her lessons. Still a favorite today. #art #painting

Currently working on a charcoal #portrait drawing and this came to mind…

Seeing as an Act of #Love

Every encounter we have with someone is undiscovered country. If we think we already know the country, we miss true discovery. #art #painting
