Todays' #art project updates. First, started my new #drawing (simple sketch for now) assignment with white charcoal and eventually, white China marker on 18x24 inch mixed media paper. Finished drawing of rose in graphite. And more progress made on 'Van Gogh' style #painting. #spiritchat

Today’s #painting and #drawing progress. First, continuing the mark making oil painting but focused more on tree roots and lower branches. Second, continuing progress on graphite drawing on 18×24-inch newsprint. #Art #Spiritchat #KindledConnection

Started two new art projects today: First, the start of a realism #drawing in graphite. (on 18×24-inch newsprint) Second, stated a new mark making #painting in the style of Van Gogh. First time trying this style of painting. 16×20-inch canvas painted in black acrylic as the base layer.

Latest update on realism oil painting. The area I struggled the most with was achieving a very thin, controlled line with the paintbrush. However, it was an enjoyable exercise and a nice break from painting on the larger 16×20-inch canvas as this was only 8×10 in size. #spiritchat #art #painting

Another progress pic of my first small scale realism oil painting on 8x10 primed wood. Getting closer! Not quite there yet. #art #painting #KindledConnection

Many years ago, I first started teaching myself how to paint in #watercolors by watching the OPB channel. I was inspired by a popular watercolor artist at that time. Susan Scheewe. This was one of my first watercolor paintings from one of her lessons. Still a favorite today. #art #painting

I’ve been thinking about how one artist’s kindness can inspire others. Have you ever had someone open a creative door for you, even in a small way? #art #painting

Latest progress on my portrait, each layer revealing a little more life and emotion.
Also, a sneak peek of my first full-figure painting, marking a new chapter in this painting journey.
Sometimes, progress looks like simply pausing to see how far we’ve come. #art #painting #portrait

Still working on her. What began as a painting assignment with a limited palette has turned into a study of patience, color, and quiet transformation.

“Doubt thou the stars are fire… but never doubt I love.”
Millais’ Ophelia came to mind while watching the 2018 film. Beauty, sorrow, and silence intertwined.

One year ago today, I painted my first abstract and returned to art after nearly two decades. I did not know where it would lead; I only knew that I needed to begin again.
It is never too late to return to what you love.

Finished my very first #drawing #portrait.
The act of seeing with love changes everything.
Perhaps that is what not just art but life, invites us to do: to witness the ordinary until it becomes extraordinary.

A city drawn in charcoal and silence.Each shadow a memory, each line a breath.
Silence does not fade with sound; it becomes what remains.
