May 23, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Walk Among the Wildflowers” #Watercolor #panorama
Painted in 2020 right at the 2 year mark ( A Walk Among the WildFlowers – New Watercolor on Absorbent Ground, May 2020 ), this small panoramic watercolor has returned for another most viewed week; it’s previous most viewed week about a year ago! There must be an anniversary-thing involved in all this, lol!

January 16, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Fantasy Landscape – New 16×20 #LyricalAbstract #AcrylicPainting
Fantasy Landscape is currently residing at the Old Bakery & Emporium in downtown Austin across from the Texas State Capital. It’s a super playful acrylic I didn’t realize would be “so much” a landscape as it turned out, lol! All part of the “discovery” process inside each artist, often call the landscape inside, probably in…

October 21, 2021 – Delivering New Art to the Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas – 3 Piece Floral Set and 1 Autumn 6×6, all #Watercolors
Despite my many gripes about living in Austin, Texas, there’s of course a handful of things I do like. Among them is the opportunity the city makes for artisans 50 or older living in the Austin area to show their creative work. I’ve been fortunate to have some sales, and am very grateful to be…

April 15, 2021 – Abstract Detail 2 Faith in a Safe Return, My Newest #DigitalArt Upload @FineArtAmerica
“Though not a detail abstract, where the originating image is otherwise unknown, this is a tight cropping round the female figure in the original small 5×7 watercolor on canvas panel”

April 03, 2021 – Abstract Detail 1 Sun Spot Flower, My Newest #DigitalArt Upload @FineArtAmerica
It’s more like an accidental find. That’s ok of course, lol! But I sure can’t claim other than creating something with a “find” within it – and that’s ok too 😊

April 02, 2021 – Sun Spot Flower, My Newest #Watercolor Upload @FineArtAmerica
Sun Spot Flower..I finished it in one sitting early last week, unsure of myself about, propped it up near the dining table by a lamp, and watched myself watch over it til I decided, yeah, I like it the way it is 😊

March 19, 2021 – My Most Viewed Image This Week @FineArtAmerica, Gift Writing, “Little Dancer”
It’s a particularly nice treat for me when something new I’m trying is the most viewed image on Fine Art America that week, and Little Dancer pranced its way to the top! ♥️

March 08, 2021 – My Most Viewed Image This Week @FineArtAmerica, Watercolor, “A Blush of Spring”
Painted with Arteza’s watercolor Real Brush Pens on Canson 140 lb watercolor paper, this is a rare work where I followed my instincts, pressed too far, messed it, then trusted my instincts to “see what would happen” – and A Blush of Spring resulted!

Aging Gracefully – During Covid-19 – The Earth is a Garden: My Most Viewed Image this Week @FineArtAmerica June 2020
I’ve been uploading my paintings since starting watercoloring (late Dec ‘19) recently by completed progression, with The Earth is a Garden one of the more recent. It’s a very pleasant surprise seeing it garnish this much attention vs some of the others I thought my be stronger received. One really never knows, which is just…

Aging Gracefully – During Covid-19 – A New Series, Serial Series’
Am I a Serial Serialist, lol? 😊 Since “way” back, I’ve tried to create a series I can stick with, and obviously, didn’t. The topic would run out of juice. Or more accurately, I would. It was time for me to switch gears to another creative avenue, the way I switch art styles to stay…

New Uploads to Fine Art America – Monarch and Starburst Bloom, June 2020 🎨 👩🎨

A Walk Among the WildFlowers – New Watercolor on Absorbent Ground, May 2020
As one can tell by my photo below, I took a few liberties, but to some extent, that happens whether I plan it or not, lol 😂 But I like the result too much to alter anything on it. Another version, another time, will elicit a different response, and I do think this is one…

Flowering at Dawn – New Watercolor with Absorbent Ground Painting Progress Update 03.13.20 Plus Thoughts on the Virus Crisis 😊
Having interests, passions even, one can pursue, and let’s say pursue relatively easily, is important for everyone, but especially, I think, for young children and for older adults. I’ll let each person decide what an older adult, or a young child, lol, is, age-wise 💕

Closed my eBay Listings, For Now 03.11.20
In my continuing effort to grapple with getting a handle on my time, combined with the fees and lack of sales, I’ve suspended my listings on eBay for now. To be fair, due to time choices, I didn’t do as much advertising and social media as I could have, at least without taking more time…

2nd Progress Update Working with Golden Absorbent Ground and Fineline Masking Fluid, on Violet Blooms 02.11.20
“Over all I feel my realizations and near misses, design-wise, outweigh my mistakes and the very real possibility this will become a “conversation learning-piece” work vs anything I can call finished and available for sale. I’m hoping I’m wrong about that last part, and find a way to finish it 😊 Very briefly, these are…

Progress Update Working with Golden Absorbent Ground and Fineline Masking Fluid, on The First Snow 01.25.20
“Later, once the piece is done, the gloss isolation layer and matte varnish will have to protect paint and masking fluid. The glossy isolation layer preserves the colors, and the clear matte varnish protects against dust etc, but restores the surface feel and matte finish of the completed work – as I found out via…

Progress Update Working with Golden Absorbent Ground and Fineline Masking Fluid, on Violet Blooms 01.24.20
“Turns out this method (for me) is also not 100% foolproof, at least in regard to getting the right areas masked, etc. But I really think this is more to do with a learning curve, both in regard to watercolor choices in general, and using masking fluid for and with those choices.”

Theatre of Light Poster, a Purple Floral – A Product Page Post Directly From the Artist 😊

Showing & Playing My Poster Poker Hand
“It’s been awhile since I had the desire to go through the process and expense of choosing and creating a catalog of on-hand prints I’d like to sell.”

Pushed Around By PDFs For My Posters, lol 😂
“The culprit was the non- poster version of Theatre of Light, and honestly, I never figured out what exactly the problem was, but – once I created my PDF from the jpg file I’d created from the flattened tif for my photo, vs from the flattened tif file, I got the smaller file I wanted.”
