Imagine Play Emerge and giveaway


This July, I have a new online workshop that is sure to break you out of your rut. Every summer, I go through an art funk and I'm hoping to quell it or at least expect that it's coming so that I'll know how to deal with it properly. If the summer blues affects you too then I may have just the medicine…..Imagine Play Emerge. It is a class based on these 3 areas of the creative process…..

I do believe Imagination is first and foremost in the creative process but we must not stop there. We must play and make discoveries. We must let go and create from a place of child-like wonder. When we allow ourselves to just play and not remain "in our head" and "act too serious" then we allow for magic and divine blessings to enter in. We grab hold of these important tools and before you know it, we are emerging in self expression….we are shining a light so beautiful that others take notice. We begin creating from somewhere else besides the mind - the soul.
And as the cycle ends, it begins again.




Here is a sneak peek into more:

Mary Blair inspired "girl and bunny"

Some of the projects that we will be doing are:
  • Mary Blair inspired works
  • painting a girl in profile (learning how the old masters used color up against the face to shape and  really make the features stand out)
  • We'll be doing a girl that is heavily textured and how to use a catalyst blade along with oil pastels to distress the finish of the face.
  • a Winnie the Pooh bonus video
  • a Mary Blair handkerchief design piece
  • a sweet book illustration

Beach Work

A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I took some time away and went to the beach. The poodles had a blast walking on the beach. At first they were scared of the water lapping up onto their paws, but they adjusted quickly. We rented a small house that was pet friendly and it had a lovely fenced yard where we played fetch with Merlin and Sammy. They came back tired and happy. Us too!

Merlin's favorite spot...out on the porch scoping out the bunny that visited us on Easter
