The Beginning


So most things I do start out looking like this...a mess...but to me this is the best way to start and this is usually the time when I am able to just let me mind go. I cover my blank canvas or whatever materials I am working on with paint, writing, doodles, scribbles and anything else that feels right at the time. I begin creating layers and layers of this mess and often times use my canvas as a journal. I write my thoughts and then paint over them and then write more thoughts and paint over that. Each layer is really a layer of me. I use this as my primer, my background for the actual peice of art and nobody would ever know that below the surface there is all this mess!!

DC Trip

So it has been a while since posting stuff...now I gotta make up for lost time! Andy and I took a trip to DC in May to visit family and I must say that the highlight of the trip for me was the National Gallery of Art...here are a few of my favorite pics~
