Day Six and Still Counting
Today I decided to post the prompts from the C4Atlanta Blogathon and answer them in order. Where are you geographically? I love this question. My studio is located in Metro-Atlanta, Georgia..Marietta, Georgia in the Artisan Resource Center. The building was built sometime in the 1940’s and when the owners bought it it was totally trashed. … Continue reading
The Studio
This is the studio before. I moved into this studio last March. For many years, I have had a studio at the Artisan Resource Center. So far I’ve inhabited three studios in this complex. This one the best so far since I have so much room to paint, teach, conduct workshops. What can I say, … Continue reading

A week ago I would have answered it differently. The two series that continue in the studio … Continue reading

Push the Restart Button
This week was a new beginning. Since moving my studio in April I have been trying to find the key to restarting my series of paintings, the “landscape” paintings in the “Passages” series. The “Dynamic Layers” series is easier to come by for some reason and I continued to work on that series as I … Continue reading
