First day back in the studio for 2019! January kicked my ass in so many ways, I'm glad to be out of it. Although I hate wishing time away... I'm gonna be 50 (😱😫) this year and the old cliché that the older you get, the faster time flies really does feel like the truth. This was the last piece I worked on in December (24" x 24", acrylic on canvas), and I was very happy to pick it up this morning and realize that I like it fine as it is ✨ Here's to a happy, healthy, prosperous and productive 2019!

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting—
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

2019 has been very grey so far, with nary a peek of sunshine. It's also been a little while since I picked up my brushes. I went into the studio this morning to clean up all the junk that piled up in there through the holidays. Everything is ready to go now, but I felt like I needed to get out for a long walk in the woods instead. ✨ Sometimes I forget how much of a winter person I am. I love the soft shades and subtle tones of the season, and the absolute quiet. It doesn't feel like a dead season to me, but a season where things rest, the signs of life are small and quiet as life regenerates under cover. ❄ I think this will be the year when the spirit of the forest eclipses the enchantment of the sea in my work (maybe). It's been a long time since I was at the ocean: the sea has become a mythological thing in my memory, a fairy tale almost. The forest is ever present, solid, grounding, real. Home. 🌲🌲🌲

One thing that I was super grateful for in 2018 was the abundance of time that I got to spend in the woods and by the water, soaking up the inspiration that feeds my painting. I’m also grateful simply to be an artist. I can’t even begin to describe how much art enriches my life and my soul. The lens of the vision of an artist is an incredible discovery for me: not only is the world beautiful, it is also incredibly inspiring. Looking out at the world in this way creates a deeply spiritual connection that I feel privileged beyond words to experience.

Peace on earth 🎅🎄🦌🌟💖
A 24" x 24" in progress, very close to done. I'm going to let it sit awhile. Stormy seas.

"Occidens", 6" x 6", acrylic on canvas. Swipe to see some close ups. This little on has some gorgeous irridescent texture which I've been unable to capture on camera. .
