Be Bold

The artist shows the beauty of life, everything from the morning sunshine to the most vibrant sunset. Don’t be afraid to show the world your colorful thoughts. Don’t hold back you inner creative. The moment an artist turns her back to that, the world is a darker place. Let the world see the artist in you.

Plein Air Painting

Question one must ask - Do I paint on  location or in studio today?

 The more I paint, the more I prefer the great outdoors as my work space. There is something about connecting with nature while creating a visual history of it. 

I had been itching to paint outdoors versus inside and it was incredible to be back outside. Yes, me who hates being cold, painted in the snow. I got all bundled up, including feet warmers to complete this painting below. Turned out my challenge was not being cold after all, it was how the snow (big white fluffy snowflakes) affected my paint. "Snowy" 12x12

 

Perseverance

The elevator to success is out of order. You’ll have to use the stairs…one step at a time. Or one painting at a time.

Follow Your Dreams

I can't say it enough... Find your passion and Go For It. Don't be afraid to go out there to follow your dreams, aspirations and goals. My dream has always been to be a Professional Artist since I could remember. I am doing it today and the most happiest I have ever been.    I stopped listening to all those who hold the art profession in the light of starving artist... no one makes money as an artist . I stopped taking paths that led me away from my goals, to be a Successful Professional Artist. People are out there doing it...living their dreams as Professional Artists.  Why can't I?. is what I ask myself?      What can't you?   Find your true passion and follow your dreams.  Go for it... after all, what do you have to loose?
