Thursday, August 21, 2014. Nothing can dim the light from within. This is my latest art journal page. I used homemade stencils and acrylics on the background, and graphite, acrylics, Inktense pencils, Sharpie paint pens, Neocolor II crayons, and a rubber stamp on the woman. I printed out the quote in Jane Austin font and colored the paper with transparent acrylic paint and then ink around the edges. I took one work in progress picture as I was working.

Saturday, July 19, 2014. I am not this hair". I had created this background over a year ago, and I loved it so much I've been afraid to do anything else to it. But then I took the plunge. Here's the process:. Tuesday, July 15, 2014. Since I don't have much of my artwork posted on my own blog, I thought I'd remedy that today! Right now I am struggling with trying to paint faces. I've had fairly good luck with prismacolors, but when it comes to paint - ugh! Thursday, July 3, 2014. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Friday, May 13, 2016. Fairy Tales and Art: The Perfect Giveaway! I have always been drawn to fairy tales, folktales, and myths. As a child I was drawn to them on a gut level. As an adult I've studied them from a Jungian perspective, which has made me love them even more. They are powerful stories with transformative power. I have always loved art too. Creating it, admiring it, owning it. Since retiring from teaching (High School English) in 2014, I have spent most of my time painting. Drunken Stampers Gl...
