Happy Fall Friends!
I’m so happy for fall! It’s my favorite season! And yes, I am indeed a pumpkin spice fan, year round fan actually. Fall season is a time for reflection, going within, reconnecting with self, and perhaps enjoying the slowing down of the season.
What are your plans for fall ? Leaf piles? Jumping in leaf piles? Bonfires? Warm cider and hoodies? I love all things fall. The warm colors, warm spices, warm foods… yes I am the person who waits all year for fall! Lets embrace it shall we?
Autumn… the year’s last loveliest smile

Lots of new things happening over in my world… new painting workshop coming November 9, War Eagle Craft fair Oct 17-21 (yep I’ll be there), and working on having a live online painting workshop in December! Not to mention I am working on a new series! All info can be found in the event section on my website.
Painting tidbit:
Did you know that lightly sanding your canvas with a fine tooth sandpaper can smooth the canvas out and help get rid of those bumps you feel on your canvas? Test it out. Take a small piece of fine sandpaper and sand lightly a section of your canvas. Run your fingers over it and then run your fingers over the non sanded section… you feel the difference? Now don’t overdo it! This is also a great trick to use if you have had to gesso over a painting. Just sand it down lightly and that gessoed layer with smooth out nicely.
Our last workshop “ Tuscan Getaway” was so much fun! I absolutely love how all of the student’s paintings turned out! They did such a brilliant job!
Hope to see you all soon !
