The Journey of a Contemporary Artist

Well since everybody seems to be blogging about everything out there I thought I would blog about what I'm most passionate about...artwork! The pastime that I had chosen a few years ago to "get away from it all" has now become much more important to me. It relaxes me, inspires me and gives me a sense of pride and accomplishment that little else does (well, other than my girls, of course!).

I hope to have a few of you tag along with me on this journey of discovery (of both my artwork as well as this blogging thingy).

Wish me luck!

The Rose

This is the first oil painting that I completed. It was a compulsory painting so I didn't have much artistic creativity with it including that blue background! But it taught me about colors, blending, soft and hard edges and so much more. So now it proudly hangs on my wall so that I can enjoy it and see my progression.
