Many of you ask me questions about my artwork, such as:
Where do you get the ideas for the paintings you paint?
What do some of your religious paintings mean?
What are the tools you use as an artist?
What does your studio look like?
and many other questions...
Some of you also continue to ask me when I will be making prints available. I will be able to answer each of these questions as we go along. A blogging format allows me to share a little bit more than I can on Facebook or other social media sites. From time to time, I may even do a painting demonstration (depending on the interest). I plan to share a variety of things on my blog in the hopes that it will keep it interesting for my followers.
Some of you are artists as well. I always learn so much from seeing the artwork you post and I look forward to sharing with you the things I've learned as well. Thanks to each of you my friends, for the interest you have shown in my artwork. I think this will be the start of something really fun! I'll be posting religious and other non-religious work as well. There should be something for every taste. I hope you will follow my journey as I figure out this blogging thing!
Here are a couple of pieces I painted Eastertime when my children were younger. The first one is a watercolor and the bottom one was done in oil. I love to work in both mediums. They are very different from each other and both have unique challenges to handle. These paintings are very childlike and simple in their approach. They were painted to appeal to my children. Sometimes it's fun to just "play" as we create our art. After all, art is meant to be relaxing, joyful and even therapeutic!
I hope you all have a wonderful April and Easter with your families and friends. Enjoy the egg hunts, the candy, the egg coloring and the many other fun traditions of this holiday. It's a wonderful time to be together. Go enjoy spring and just be happy. You may even consider picking up an affordable set of watercolors and go paint! No matter what difficulties we are going through, we have so much to be happy about. I feel true JOY when I remember the real reason for the celebration... the gifts that our Savior offers us.
