Moleskine

Amazing how time gets sucked up by non-creative processes. I made sure that I took some time to play with some art materials the other day. It's nice when color and shapes are the only visual goals--a total free play of art, the play drive a la Schiller. ;) Art for art's sake.

Earth Day Sketch

I got caught up with the end of my graduate school course in humanities this semester, and I failed to upload this on Earth Day. Seems like I can get distracted by other things in my life, and then my art time suffers a bit. Better late than never! This summer I'll be taking two grad courses, but I hope to keep sketching and making some studio time for my sanity.

Orchids are blooming...

I needed a break from working on graduate school writing, so I played in my watercolor moleskine. My orchids are blooming outside on the porch. Though they only last a short time, they are brilliant specimens to see in the morning when I sit out there and have my tea. Beautiful, bright pink blossoms... tiny little faces of cheer. ;)

Seahorse

Watercolors and some gouache from a photo reference in my large moleskine.

Words and Abstract Shapes

A combination of quotes and design. Charcoal and watercolors in my large moleskine.

Collage with mixed media in my large moleskine... one old, one recent. So many things lying around the studio not scanned or uploaded. I need to try and stay current with the creativity.

Strawberry and Cream

Watercolors, ink, and colored pencils in my small moleskine.

Organic Soup

This large acrylic piece was started while I was renting a studio at Gallery on First in Sanford, Florida. It was an exploration of shape and color, and the more I worked on it, the crazier it became... sort of fun, playful, and definitely "interesting"... yes, I think that was the word I heard from some of my closest fans. LOL It makes me smile. :)
