little bits of art

Thankful for 
circles of beautiful women
opening hearts
bursts of laughter
sharing dreams
feeling at home.

While I am busy in my studio finishing a series of paintings, I thought I would share with you a little glimpse of the creative spirit pouring out of us during our recent art retreat.
 
Just sweetness.

Today I wrote a post for the inspiration studio about "real" art.  Actually, I could have written a rant about it because the whole concept of "real" art raises all of my hackles.  But I was nice.

And a new print is listed in my shop!  she was nurturing her creative dreams...

I'll have lots of new paintings to share with you soon :)

I totally get your article--I didn't always, but more recently, I too, have learned and grown in that department. I'm glad you are so brave to speak what you really think--and you did say it in a lovely and engaging way.
