I've been a painting fool lately!  Ever since I shipped off my book projects I've been elbow deep in paint and canvas and happy as a duck!  I tend to work on several canvases at the same time, so be prepared for many more canvases in the next few days!

First up:

I love this painting and I hung it up almost before the paint was dry!  

Hangingup
I have big dreams plans for 2013 and that phrase has been bouncing around my head non-stop.  I think having the canvas hanging by my desk is going to be a great daily reminder to make those dreams a reality.  I am determined!

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. After many requests (thank you!) I've decided to offer some prints of my art work for purchase.  You can find my online shop here.  (There's only one print there right now, but I'll be adding more over time.)  Here's a screen shot of what a framed print of this artwork looks like:

There are lots of different frames for you to choose from.  In fact, you can order framed prints, canvases, or simply a print on cotton rag paper.

  • Great affirmation! And your painting is lovely! Your faces are so intriguing and your style and skill has really evolved and emerged–exciting to watch that happen by following your blog! Seeing your painted and sketched faces makes me want to paint and sketch faces, which is not something I ever thought I’d be inclined to do. Thank you for your daily shares. <3

  • I can’t begin to tell you how much I love your artwork. I’d say I want to be just like you when I grow up, but I’m already 60, so growing up probably won’t happen now. I did just order 9 of your stencils, including all your faces. I can’t wait for Santa to bring them so I can start learning to make your amazing ladies come to life. That’s my “dream into plans” for now. Thanks so much for sharing your talents.
