Happy New Years!




Thanks so much to everyone who posted to me and offered encouragement this year. It meant so much to me.

At the beginning of the year, I made a resolution: Learn to use watercolor. Lots of experiments and ups and downs later, and lots of art supply purchases later, I've made a start and had a lot of fun.

So now for a new resolution: Make art every possible day, and explore new tools and techniques.

So here is my New Years offering. I was playing with some new encaustics (does anyone else out there have a dangerous addiction to flockshop.com?) and decided to just throw down some random paint with the iron. I went away and forgot about them for a few days, but tonight I was cleaning up in my studio and a New Years Pegasus and balloon bouquet appeared!

Happy New Years to You. Love your goals - daily drawing and watercolor painting has been the best teacher for me, even though I have lots more work ahead.
