A time-saving tip for acrylic paint
I’m back in the studio and using a lot of acrylic paint! The work is coming along at a nice pace because I have a time-saving tip. Take a look. I’ve used containers and palettes to mix color in the past, but now I’m using large buckets. What’s so cool is that after...
I’m preparing canvases for my upcoming show…
It’s Sunday and I’m back to talk more about preparing for my show that is coming this summer! What I like to do in the beginning is gather all the shapes and sizes I want to paint on. I love having a variety! When using canvas, I temporarily wrap and staple it to...
Get in Motion with Palette Paper
Welcome back to the Sunday Vlog! I love making art every day. Working even five or ten minutes in my journal is so fun! I usually don’t have a plan but here’s one way I get things going quickly. Since I use tracing paper as my palette paper, I have a collection of...
I just sent some new work to my gallery…
Welcome back to the Sunday Vlog! As artists, we are often not the best judge of our own work, and it turns out it doesn’t matter! A gallerist will have their own reasons for choosing one painting over another. I used to finish so many paintings (with a title, framing,...

Happy Sunday! The Art of Your Life Free Workshop starts Monday, March 4th, and I can’t wait! I’ll be talking about ways of being — how to feel your best. I’m in Mexico now, and I am struck by how deeply I connect with the elements in a way I don’t experience at home....

Ask yourself this important question…
A common question I get from other artists is how to get unstuck. One way to begin the process is to ask yourself one simple question - “What do I love?” Watch here… We are faced with many choices in art and life, and asking this question is the best way to know...
I made a new discovery by looking at some old work…
Behind me today are two paintings, one made six years ago and one I’m working on now. In seeing them side-by-side, I discovered something so helpful that you may notice in your past and present work, too. Check this out! The earlier work presents a distant view. The...
