I’m sorry for the quick dismissal by your doctor. Unfortunately, this is so common😖 I’m not sure if you’ve seen this menopause wiki, but it has a lot of helpful info. menopausewiki.ca#there-is-no-...

My recent tent set-up at the 52nd Lynchburg Art Festival. It was fun, but so much work! #artfestival #artdisplay #motherartist #womanartist #realism #painting

A whitetail fawn in central Virginia. We’ve had a ton of late fawns this year. I’d love to see the tail of a blacktail. Are they actually black?

I’m back in the studio today! Working on several paintings old and new. Switched over to mostly #oilpainting recently. #figurative #contemporaryart #kids #momartist #artstudio #studiopractice

My girls gave me some #hahnemuhle paper and watercolors for Mother’s Day. Though we had norovirus kicking our butts for the past week, I was able to play a little. Watercolor and gouache. 10”x7”. #painting #watercolor #gouache #childhood #jamesriver #exploration

Haven’t posted in a while. I’ve over-committed to our flailing 130+ yr old art club and haven’t had time to paint. Here is a photo of a dead Luna moth with a baby slug, some mushrooms, and the start of a tiny egg tempera that I thought was funny. #lunamoth #slug #eggtempera #naturephoto #mushrooms

A little gouache portrait of my dad. I’m going to try again and keep it looser.

I rented a wall in the local art club I have been volunteering with. I’ve become the Membership coordinator and Marketing chair, due to low engagement. I’m hoping to help grow the club, which is one of the oldest of its kind in the U.S. It was really fun to hang my disparate works together!

No one really appreciates this one, but it’s one of my faves from last year. It’s an acrylic painting of some of our fridge magnets. I made shrinky-dink magnets for my 2nd child when she was little, and the one with me on it happened to get beheaded🤔. #artist #womensart #motherartist #painting #mom

Fern doesn’t want me to get anything done today. I’m not disagreeing. #lapcat #cat #catlady #catoftheday #rescuecat #cutcuddles

A blue tick puppy!!! I miss my Simon dog.

Okay, I’ll give it a go. Thanks for your tips. Are you familiar with Robert Vickrey’s work? I’ve been enjoying his book.

I’m excited to try these lil babies out with egg tempera (because I am not trying to labor for days with true gesso)! Anyone have experience with them?

My least favorite part of the #process (besides cleaning up) is making frames. Cutting, sanding, gluing, sanding, cradling, checking fit, re-cutting…. It takes me so long, but it is my preferred way to display my work. Today is dedicated to building two #float-mount #frames. #artwork #portrait #art

I probably shouldn’t share this, but here we go. This is the current state of my studio. It absolutely reflects the current state of my entire being. I’m not sure how to dig myself out. Advice? #burnout #studio #artstudio #artistspace #motherartist #studioshed #framebuilding #artist #painter
