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!

Apple Blossoms


Now that spring has officially arrived I thought I would share one of my newest paintings. I was inspired by a wonderful up and coming photographer named Alexandra. I have added a link below for her site where her talent is showcased. It's worth a look!

About the painting...I was intrigued by how the light and shadows play off the branch and the way the sun is reflected through the petals. The color of the almost cloudless sky also caught my eye. Can you smell the fresh spring air?
