Art In Life And Spirit In Art
Upon going into the attic for the Christmas decorations, my husband found abandoned art that had been stowed away for many years, in fact, since 1990. My first painting attempts began in 1990. As he brought down numerous pieces one, by one, I was shocked at how crude and amateurish they appeared. Knowing that [...]
This is my first painting of my #paint52 series. It has been quite awhile since I have painted. I have been drawing quite a bit, especially with the iPad, but I found that I needed to push myself to paint more. As usual I wanted everything to be perfect. I had a drawing ready to [...]
There is something peaceful and mysterious about chairs. In fact, I would love to do a series on chairs. I have painted quite a few, but this one for some reason appeals to my senses. Most artists wouldn’t like the chair to be off the edge, but I purposely put it there to cause a [...]
I met Jonathan Grauel on Twitter @jgrauel and fell in love with his wonderful images created on the iPad. He was kind enough to write a guest blog and be part of the iPad series. I am sure you will find it interesting and informative. It is hard to talk about the impact of the [...]

I had taken one of my pastel drawings and pushed it further by taking the image and dropping it into the ArtRage application for the iPad. I was able to add spots of oil, watercolor, pencil, crayon and soften edges with the pallet knife. I feel it gave the image more unity. This [...]
What do you do? How many times I have been asked that and just stood dumb founded. I feel caught off guard an unable to express myself. I also feel that others can’t really understand what I do, so what’s the use and I don’t believe that they would even want to take [...]
I have been thoroughly enjoying drawing on the iPad. I have many applications to do so. My favorite one is Brushes, because it has a special feature called the Playback. Now, what the Playback allows you to do is play the drawing back from start to finish. I find it fascinating to see [...]
“In search for the perfect beginning,” quoted by Robert Henri, painter and teacher. Have you ever painted a painting and no matter how much detail or paint you put on it, it was destined for the trash. In the same respect, have you ever done a painting that was flowing so freely that you completed it [...]
