Valentine's day is coming


And so we are back to cards - wherever I wander, I come back to my cards.
We've gotten settled in our new place and I'm ready to start classes again -
January 29 - 10 to 12
Here are the cards we'll be making!







2011 - new year, new attitude

It's 2011 and with the new year, I've adopted a new attitude about this blog - everything counts! Everything gets logged and blogged!

I used to make excuses for not blogging - the latest being that I couldn't find my camera. If I couldn't take pictures, certainly I could not blog about my art. But there's so much more - my ideas, my creative process, etc.

I am taking a drawing class from my friend Claudia. I LOVE it and I am terrified at the same time. Somewhere in my head, I got the idea that drawing should be easy if I'm an artist - that it should come naturally. Ha ha - it's not easy. Sometimes it is difficult and frustrating that things don't look "just right" but I will keep plugging away at this and I do look forward to my time with Claudia. If we aren't actually drawing, we are discussing ideas, concepts. It is wonderful to be able to pitch an idea and have someone understand what I am talking about - someone to add to the idea or steer me in a completely different direction with just a few words.

So there you go - perhaps I will even get brave enough to post a few of my drawings here. Ok, I WILL post some of my drawing here - next week -
