What Year is It?

What Year Is It?

Anyone else out there like me who is still having a hard time wrapping their heads around the fact that it is actually 2022? Hope it’s not just me. It’s mid February and I feel like I just got the Christmas decorations put away and still haven’t figured out where the heck 2021 went.

I realize I haven’t done a blog post in a over a year. Again I don’t know what happened to 2021!! Things were really crazy and nothing seemed to happen when or as it should have. Fingers crossed that that will change going forward this year. My goal is to touch base with you monthly via my blog as it’s getting more difficult for social media posts to be seen these days. I’m still on Facebook and Instagram, you just might not be receiving my posts.

I know most of the country is shoveling snow now, so how about some spring inspired art to brighten your day? Just click on the images below for more information.

I want to say THANK YOU so much for hanging in there with me friends. Wishing the very best for everyone this year. Let’s all watch out for each other okay? I truly appreciate your love and support. You help make my dream a reality.

Blessings from your artist friend, Mary

Welcome Spring!

Welcome Spring!!

Spring has finally appeared on the calendar, just not necessarily in your neck of the woods friends. Here in sunny Florida we’re enjoying a beautiful start to the season and art shows and exhibits are in full swing. My show at the Highlands Museum of the Arts in Sebring, FL is winding down to a close on March 29. I don’t have another show planned till November this year which leaves lots of time to create new work.

I’ve been painting away on smaller works the past couple months using an oil and cold wax method and really loving the results. These paintings are created by applying many layers oil paint mixed with a cold wax medium (made with bees wax) and then removing some of the layers to reveal the underlying paint layers. It’s kind of like excavating a painting to find its history.

Here are just a few of the new paintings created with this method.

There is a certain luminosity with the oil paints that I don’t find with acrylics. Acrylics are still my go to for painting, but it’s great to have a second set of tools in my tool box.

If you’d like more information on these paintings, or any of my others, I invite you to visit my website. And, don’t forget I offer complimentary US shipping and convenient payment plans can be set up anytime. I love to make it easy for my art to find their forever homes.

Thank you for your continued support friends. If you know of someone who might enjoy my artwork, I would be honored if you shared this blog with them. And, if your friend makes a purchase from your referral, there will be a little something in it for you!!

May 2019 continue to brighten your lives with color.

Your artist friend, Mary
