Day 22. The inside on the outside

“Inside on the Outside” 6×6, oil on canvas One of the reasons I do the 31 in 31 every year is for the gifts. There are always little unexpected connections, joys and insights that pop up along the way. They come unannounced and without fanfare. They feel like childhood Christimas morning if you were to […]

Day 21. Advice Givers

“Let it Soak in” 5×5, oil on canvas I was painting another one of my wilderness-haired women, trying to decide what kind of bird to put in the brush (still thinking about putting a brass band in there at some point). I usually go for the tiny and cute variety– little whimsical things. But what […]
