12X12 oil on canvas First of all, thank you for the really nice response to my sons work yesterday. He was happy to read all the nice comments you guys left. He’s a good kid.

The Work of Ethan Millward!
On Saturday my son finished his Mammoth painting and asked me if I would feature his work on my blog today. He was pretty proud of it. This first painting of his is of our chicken Penny. I love his chicken paintings, he painted 3 of our 5 backyard chickens. This kid can draw waaaaaaaayContinue reading “The Work of Ethan Millward!”
Dress
This one is clearly inspired by Wayne Thibaud’s “Yellow Dress.” I painted this well over a year ago when I was picking up my paintbrush again after a long break from oil painting- while my kids kept me really busy. It’s my daughters little dress. I hung it on the wall and painted it asContinue reading “Dress”

So I thought I’d show you all this new painting I started and a little about the process that I’ve started using more and more. Scraping back. The first time I tried scraping paint back IContinue reading “Lots of Stuff Going”

The Work of Vicki Hutchins

Reading it gave me such a sense of affirmation and renewed belief that my approach to creating work and my processes were authentic, to me at least. In fact, I would…
Sunday Afternoon Fun
The Art Factory is in full swing. I think my kids produce as much stuff as I do and soon we will be pushed out of our house by everyone’s masterpieces. I bought this gal a little watercolor travel set for her birthday. Normally she paints with acrylics along with her brothers but I thought she’d like toContinue reading “Sunday Afternoon Fun”
Have a great weekend! Happy Friday night.
Smile! Life is good.
Oh Watercolors, where have you been all my life?
Happy Birthday! I celebrated the April & May birthdays with my running group and got a stack of cards from everyone. My birthday is on Mother’s Day this year. I’ve requested a box of chocolate from my family. I think there are close to 20 women in our running group and they/we celebrate every possible occasion. LotsContinue reading “Oh Watercolors, where have you been all my life?”
