While on vacation, my daughter asked me to teach her how to paint clouds. Her’s is the top one. Isn’t it beautiful?

It’s been 6 years since my dad died.

Ash Wednesday thoughts.

We are made of the dust from stars - valuable, precious beings who matter. And yet, to stardust we will return. Our time is short, those in power will come and go, anxieties, grief, victories and joy alike will pass.

What will last?
Love.

So: how will I love today?

It’s a good sign when you’re painting and something inside goes, “Ahhhh, it’s nice to be here.”

This is a work in progress for the upcoming online Square Foot Show in March!

Follow along to see the completed piece!

Here’s a #monochrome underpainting for a project I’m currently working on. I use underpaintings to help me get a sense of values, composition, and how much paint I need.
