I note that the last time I sat down to write my blog that it began snowing and kept snowing the entire time! A girl could get a little discouraged about that kind of thing. This time I waited a few days for the snow to melt and I’m pretty sure we’re safe now. (You’re welcome) In addition to delivering amazing weather reports I want to share some news about upcoming classes and exhibits. Seems like there’s an awful lot of artistic activities going on around here. Hmmmm could be this is my life and I love it!

Thanks for all the fun we’ve been having in classes! Recently I taught an alcohol ink class at the Clay Senior Center. I met some wonderful people and am looking forward to offering some more art classes there. Stay tuned for dates and info. Last weekend I taught a Water Marbling Class at the Art Store and wow, what a riot! Talk about color explosion; my favorite kind!

And, yes even with all these fun classes and art shows I’m still creating new pieces of art! My most recent pieces are a combination of alcohol inks and oils, and I just love the way these mediums look together! Check out the Rose of Sharon image below. This piece is 14 x 14-inches and when it’s done drying it’ll be framed and available. I’m hoping it’s dry by the time the 1st art show comes around! Here’s looking forward to the arrival of Spring. I hope to see you around!
