10 things I know to be absolutely certain…
…my artistic point of view
- I have learned to not even look at any of my three easels before work – there is no such thing as “just a little” painting time
- Loading the paintbrush with more paint than I think I might need in a given stroke is always a good idea
- Orange and turqouise are gorgeous colors and will always be found somewhere, somehow in my paintings
- Abstract art is fascinating
- Often my “messy palette” is the “most beautiful” thing I create
- I really enjoy painting abstracts with my wonky left hand
- I am blessed to part of a couple of wonderfully supportive, online groups of female painters
- My local artists’ groups are some of my favorite people
- Many of my “best” pieces of clothes have evidence of my favorite paint (that’s why I consider them my best clothes)
- For me, at this stage in my life, creating artwork is a million times easier than writing about artwork
