I believe this may be Blog Post #200!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Yay! And thanks for visiting. I’ve been working on the piece below. Though often my work is figurative, sometimes I dabble in a still life or at least my version of. This is officially a nursing chair, but for me - my reading chair. And it takes me places. It is 36 inches X 36 inches on canvas. I’ve used oils and this week I’ve concentrated on glazes to enhance some of the colors. Glazing can get very detailed.

A Different Approach Here we are, still doing our part to keep ourselves and others safe. This means even the normally isolated artists are even more so. Live models, workshops, gallery openings... a thing of the past as we knew them. However, all is not lost. There are creative people keeping the creativity alive.

I choose to smile. Watercolor by Racheljonesandart
The past. The future. The now. The imaginary... The idea that chaos and chance outweigh the actual control we think we have makes me want to seriously consider the effect my choices really have on all those I love and even those I've never met.
