the big MINI ART MARATHON {Days 10 & 11}
Have you ever dreamed of a painting or creation in your sleep? That’s what happened to me the other night. I actually dreamed of quite a few paintings, but these two were the most vivid when I woke up. That’s really the first time I have taken my...
the big MINI ART MARATHON {Days 8 & 9}
Today I though long and hard about the colors I wanted to use and I’m so happy with the results. I’ve been feeling like none of my colors are really consistent, so I want to focus more on finding a palette to stick with for the most part. I think it will...
the big MINI ART MARATHON {Day 7}

Make Magic Happen!
Are you ready for it this year?
the big MINI ART MARATHON {Day 2}
I’m feeling a bit schizophrenic with my art. One day I like to paint with bright colors; the next, more subdued. Today I’m enjoying smoother brush strokes, but other days I like a more painterly style. And then, there’s days like today where the...
the big MINI ART MARATHON! {Day 1}
Happy 2013 everyone! Wow, today feels amazing. I have very good feelings about this year, like some wonderful things are going to transpire! I’m filled with more excitement and hope than I have felt on January 1st in the past. Maybe part of that has to do with...
