They were red, and orange and red, and red and orange and yellow, like the ember in a nursery fire of a winter's evening. I remember them.” ― Neil Gaiman, Coraline My lighting in the studio is bad. Terry has fixed it since this was taken.  But I think you can see where this painting is headed.  It is full of joy and bursting with colors... the colors of embers in a fire.  This is the feeling of color and cele...

Scott Fitzgerald I signed up for Nancy Medina's class, her new online class.  She has an incredible approach to painting and is a superb instructor.  I used my own tulip images but did use her vase in this painting. I like to be able to sell my work and I do not feel right if I use someone else's photos and there are 400 of those paintings out th...

Maya Angelou My dad's favorite song was: Joyful, joyful we adore thee God of glory, Lord of love Hearts unfold like flowers before thee Opening to the sun above Melt the clouds of sin and sadness Drive the doubt away Giver of immortal gladness Fill us with the light of day. This is my song of choice to start each morning and especially in the shower!  It truly makes a remarkable difference in my entire day.   D...
