A rare “in front of the class” shot — not often filmed, but a part of my world that I love. 👩‍🎨 My next creative painting workshop is coming up in May … grab your spot! Registration link is in bio.

Fresh color palette. Bold, bright, and a little bit sassy - because the golden hour can make you feel that full of life!
Sometimes the light on the land here is soul-moving, washing over you with a sense of the divine. Other times it simply smacks of joy.
So, in between larger works in progress, I’m expanding my mini Golden Hour series with joyful color play (like those shown in my mock-up here), working in the same size (10”x10”), same style and same theme of Sedona rocks and landmarks.
More to come. DM me if interested in pre-ordering one or two or nine. 🎨

“What in your life is calling you, when all the noise is silenced, the meetings adjourned, the lists laid aside, and the Wild Iris blooms by itself In the dark forest... What still pulls on your soul?” —Rumi
.
I’ve always found something wonderful and deep and mysterious about an Iris. Maybe they really do speak to the soul.
Another sister Iris like the one shown here is on one of my easels. Same size - 48”x 48” - different color - and I can hardly wait to see it bloom, but it’s taking its time, as it should.

This was another demo piece painted in my last class - which I thought I might enhance but kinda like its raw energy as is. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Plus it somehow feels like the wild weather outside!

Probably my personal favorite of various medium demos I made for last month’s Creativity class at the Sedona Arts Center.
Pastels are messy, and a bit dusty - but a lot of fun. It’s like drawing and painting at the same time (clearly two of my favorite things 🤓).
My last major pastel pieces promoted the USGA Sr. Open some years back, which was very cool, but then other projects came along and those bright little sticks got left back in their box, in favor of my oils and acrylics. They were happy to come out and play again!

Love this red earth. ♥️
Remembering a warmer winter day, while today is cold with flurries. ❄️ Winter here has many faces.

Another demo I’d done for class. Oils this time, in three sessions: Base painted in one class. Bulk of body in another class. A little touch up and background color change in studio. I think she deserves to be finished! - so, next up, some texture on the pear and enhancement on the ground.

On one of my easels... I’ve got fun plans for this one. Something fresh and light and bright and a little bit different. ✨
Of course there’s always a chance that those big, fun plans might veer off in a new direction – but the vision is holding for now. Stay tuned!. ;)
