Art Enriches My Life

Learning to Paint – Again?
I’ve been painting all my life, but I’m the first one to admit I have a whole lot to learn. Recently I’ve been experimenting (tearing out my hair!) with acrylics.

Marketing Success Tips for Artists by Suc...
If I had had training in art marketing ‘back in the days,’ I’d never have had the grinding, constant worry, depression or confusion I suffered with for over 40 years until I finally figured it out. I hated the very idea that I had to make the art AND sell it. I thought, “Heck, dentists, […]

Body-Surf is Finished!
Here it is, all done. It was really hard to photogrpah becuase of the similarity in colors of stone, but if you look carefully in the part that sticks out from the wave, it’s the horse’s neck and right arm sticking out.
