You Were Born For This, by Jennifer Underwood. Copyright 2021 I wait until the right moment to paint, and sometimes summer makes it hard. But I turned on my music to a song I had not heard in a long time-Unsecret-For this, you were born for, featuring Ruelle, another favorite singer of mine. As I … Continue reading Painting: You Were Born For This

Painting: You
You, 16x20 acrylic on flat canvas This painting was started in 2019 as a finger painting, it is the black in the back of the white. I left it like that for a long time, and decided to add more white and work over it. As usual, I plugged myself into my dreamy Indie music … Continue reading Painting: You
Expressionism is a Flow
Sometimes I stop and think what the style of art is that I do because I like to analyze it. I often put on music to paint, and it seems impossible for me to paint without it. Music stirs up the right emotions to let out in order to paint properly. Everyone is different, but … Continue reading Expressionism is a Flow
When a Paint Table is it’s own Painting
I go on the back porch in the mornings, and casually glanced down at my paint table that reminded me to paint again. Sometimes I don't paint for weeks at a time since I want to get it right when I do. So, I look down and notice the designs on the table are of … Continue reading When a Paint Table is it’s own Painting

I have plans to make one into bookmarks so that one will be in print only other than the bookmarks. The other two are for sale. As I was painting these, I had many thoughts … Continue reading Painting with thoughts..

Art is a courageous purchase, … Continue reading YOU Can Be An Art Collector!
Painting: Whitespace

As I was painting, it felt like a frequency like you see in music..waves that go up..and I can't stand straight lines, so when I came time … Continue reading Painting: Whitespace
Painting; Muse
I am learning once more that painting in general...every stroke matters. When I first started, I read Nancy Hillis blog. She said that for an exercise make six strokes on a piece of paper. She said nobody will do what you do, that alone makes it different. I reminded myself of that today when I … Continue reading Painting; Muse
Be An Encouragement To Someone Today
I write this post because of something that happened to me. I am on Instagram, and do not have hardly any engagement on there with my art. I don't spend much time there because even when I follow all the dumb rules of marketing, I still don't get my work known. I use the account … Continue reading Be An Encouragement To Someone Today
The Great Expression
I have been watching two documentaries in recent days, and both of them spoke to me deeply. The first one was about Van Gogh, and it was very sad. It opened up thoughts in me I wish I did not have, but always have had through the years. Van Gogh had some type of mental … Continue reading The Great Expression
