The other part of the artist's life

through glass because it's
framed.)

Today I worked with a wonderful person on updating my website. Don't get too excited.  There's a long way to go.  But it's so nice working on something that terrifies you, with someone funny and calm.  In fact it's nice working on anything with someone funny. 
The best.

So that is good news because my website needs an update.  I also painted for an upcoming show while the web designer courageously moved through my files trying to find answers for the vital questions of what is what?, and where do I find it? Done.

I'm showing you this drawing, in part because I have a friend 
who is a coloured pencil artist, and partly so you can see where I came from. I used to do coloured pencil drawings to sell for next to no money.  Then I took a course with Skip Lawrence based on acrylics, and watercolour, and never looked back.

Ease came into the process. So fun!

Have a loving your life day!
