Craft paint & construction paper

Inspiration comes and goes,
creativity is the result of practice

What I’m reading: The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin – I wish I had positive things to say about this book. Um, I’ll try. No, sorry, I can’t. Oh wait! There are actually two good things – I’m happy I didn’t spend money on it, and that I returned it to the library before reading the whole thing. 

If you think you want to read it because you keep hearing about it, I suggest looking at the 1 star reviews on Amazon first. 

Writers and Lovers by Lily King – started this one last night. So far, I like it. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have a lovely creative evening.

I’m currently on hiatus from creating new work to sell, including custom orders, but there are plenty of paintings in my shop for sale. Shipping is free within the USA, if you purchase art directly from me. I also sell originals & prints on eBay and Etsy.

As always, if you want to say hello or have any questions you can write me here. I love getting email, and hearing from you.

Other places to find me online.
