My Muse takes a ride.

My muse, otherwise known as Forester, AKA Goofball loves to go on car rides, and naturally, I need to take a picture of the event.

Backseat Bully

He is my muse for many things…I made a Bully Breed calendar this year,

Bully Breeds are Delicate Flowers 2025 Calendar

which featured Him, as well as lots of other Bully breeds because who isn’t obsessed with their Bully dog! I am also in the beginning stages of illustrating a children’s book with him, naturally, as the star!

I’ll give you two guesses as to whether there will be more Bulldog illustrations coming….

The outskirts of an Art Table!

I recently organized my Art space to make my art table, where I create, a bigger surface. There are several challenges with having a clear “creating area.” One is that as a multi-creator, I often go from one art process to another. This makes it challenging as I use lots of different media in my pieces! Another challenge is what I like to call “the incredible shrinking work space.” Creating for me is such a meditative process, that when I come out of my “art trance,” I find myself with a much smaller space! This will be an ongoing work in progress for me! Anyone else have this issue?

The funniest things inspire me!

I take my walks, or go on traveling adventures and get inspired to create by sidewalk cracks, junk spewed about…whatever catches my fancy! sometimes I can’t imagine that others would get inspired by the same things, but several recent trips to Bethlehem Pennsylvania resulted in a multitude of photos that I took and posted on Pinterest. One of these photos is by far the most downloaded of all my pins! I love old grungy things and I guess a lot of people do too! What do you think? Does this inspire you? What does inspire you?

Embrace the Process

I love to create. But often what I create is not for a product that I will be selling, and if it is for a sellable product, the final piece doesn't happen right away! There is a creative process that each artist goes through to discover the Art!

An Artist I follow has such a joyful process that I am bringing it to you so that you can enjoy it as well! My favorite creative process was taught by Laly Mille, whose classes I wholeheartedly recommend! These classes have taught me to embrace the process joyfully!
