A new website

I have made several websites over the years. I’ve had blogs, “Learning to be Cheap’, “My Great American Road Trip”, my blog just under my name. Now that I have discovered the joys of painting though I finally feel like I have something to share!

I am creating the blog in addition to the galleries to get the chance to share more of the process. Many of these paintings have so many layers underneath it’s interesting to see every iteration of the painting before it “works”. Often in class the painting that I didn’t care for much in the early layers became my favorite painting once I shifted the palette and the previous colors shown through only through sgraffito markings!

I don’t know how often I will blog as with the weather I have also not been painting regularly but I would like to and having a blog, a place to share, might help encourage me to spend more time in my painting studio (an 8x16 shed with no head, partial insulation and one extension cord for power.
