Sharing Social

The art of self promotion has certainly become a thing in this post pandemic era! And one most artists and small businesses will certainly be struggling with now and for some time in the future.

Devine Inspiration

Had to pass this image along, the beauty of stained glass of old captured near the Art Institute in Chicago. Many early windows, with religious themes, designed to tell stories and inspire those who witnessed the work. So, ask the artist within: what meaning does your work have? What are you trying to communicate? It can be as simple an answer as: “I want these colors to make people feel happy”. I think if we think of our work as a way to communicate, we answer the question “why should I do this,” and we understand why our artwork matters! Enjoy!

Color Theory

These last several days have been rainy and grey. But thanks to some beautiful fresh flowers I received for my birthday, I am able to rejoice in spring and be inspired for painting! We are working with some bright oil paints this week, and I wonder how close I can get to these vibrant blooms! I will keep you posted!
