Last week was a whirlwind week for me. For the past year I've been longing to attend a painting workshop to develop my abstract style. Well, I hit the jackpot last week with Filomena Booth's "Go Big Go Bold Abstract Painting Workshop" three day workshop. What an amazing three days. I came home each evening exhausted and excited for the next day.
Sticks and Stones is one of the three paintings created at the workshop. These are the largest paintings I've done to date. The whole purpose of the workshop was to break out of my comfort zone and learn to paint BIG using new techniques. Now I am obsessed with painting on a large scale, but I know I'll always paint smalls.
Additionally, I was featured on our local PBS station, WEDU, on their weekly Arts Plus segment. What an honor for me and I'm still pinching myself to make sure it wasn't a dream. Here's the segment if you'd like to learn a little more about me and what inspires my art. I hope you'll enjoy it.
I have been asked if I could paint larger paintings and the answer is YES. I also take commissions, so just message me if there's something you'd like me to create for you.
Thanks so much for riding along on this journey with me friends. I am still exploring and finding my way. If you enjoy my art, please do share my site with your friends. Shares are most welcome.
Wishing you all a wonderful upcoming weekend. And for all the moms out there a very Happy Mother's Day!!!
