I have been so busy with the holidays and remodeling my library that I forgot to post. I am so far behind with posting. I am getting a lot done for the holidays and that is a good thing.
We have another 2nd Saturday event at White Ripple Gallery and Co. 6725 Kennedy Ave. Hammond, Indiana. This is Dec. 12 from 6 til 10 pm. Sure hope you can make it. I will have my studio open, there will be other artist studios open, a small works show opening that night, a show in the main gallery, santa (come get your photo taken), and the Burgundy Closet resale shop will be open with lots of new finds. Oh,
did I mention the Holiday Market. Hope to see you there.

FAll Leaves

It's that time of year again....time for fall and time to paint negative leaves. This was a demo that I did for one of my classes.
This past week we were on vacation. Went to southern Indiana to catch the colors of the fall leaves. On three of the days of our trip, it had rained. We also spent a day in Chicago. I took a ton of photos so I will have lots of inspiration to paint from while I stay inside this winter....great times ahead. Happy Fall...you all.
