A Place of Quiet
This is where I'm longing to be lately. Yes, I'd love for the weather to be pretty and warm enough for drawing at the Factory Courtyard, but I'm also longing for quiet spaces, a less frenetic life. With that in mind, I'm going to take a break from all my blogs except for Letters To … Continue reading A Place of Quiet

Even on Gray Days
I've heard artists say things like, "I won't paint today, the light isn't good." They prefer to have shadows cast under a brilliant sunny blue sky. I have always wanted to draw no matter the weather. No matter how gray. No matter the fog. No matter the chill. Fridays have been lovely to venture downtown … Continue reading Even on Gray Days
