About Me

One of my New Year's Resolutions was to paint more often. Having two small children makes this quite a challenge, but I have been inspired by many of the Daily Painters I have seen, and felt drawn (no pun intended!) to join the movement. Fortunately, I have a wonderful husband who is very supportive. My goal is to create one small painting each day which I will post to this blog. I have always loved the arts, but only began painting a couple of years ago. I have been so fortunate to have had a wonderful mentor in Martin Ahrens. Martin and his wife Joyce Hall Ahrens are both incredible artists and instructors who emphasize the importance of light and shadows in making a painting come to life. I hope that you will enjoy my work. Please don't hesitate to comment, either positively or negatively. I hope to never stop learning and growing!

What was I thinking?

What was I thinking when I said I was going to paint daily...I'm lucky to be able to paint semi-annually these days! But, boy, do I miss it. Things have been crazy with family and work...I am hoping that after the holidays I can begin painting on a regular basis again...my goal will be once a week (maybe a bit more realistic!) instead of daily. Should I rename my blog? Would anyone even know...I'm probably the only one who ever accesses it, except maybe Renee... Enough of my ramblings, just thought I'd say HI and yes, I am alive! Merry Christmas!
