"Reaching For The Stars", 6x6 oil on panel by Pamela Copeman
"Let It Begin With Me", Acrylic 12x12 by Page Railsback
"My Heart", 7x5, acrylic by Kelley Carey MacDonald
I don't ever, ever have an 'intention' for a new year. I have PLANS. And one of my plans is to practice figures and faces. Another is to experiment with gouache paint. Another is new types of workshops. And hanging with this little gem, Elizabeth, because she inspires me. She is smart, intuitive, capable, artistic and compassionate. She is also spicy, which I love, even if it isn't always easy or smooth. I feel that women need to be able to have strength, and even now (this was from an old photo, she is 3 now) she is a strong little woman. So much love. Happy 2024, all!
“Sketchbook Intentions”
Watercolor pen and ink
I opened my photos and sketched 6 photos intended to be made into paintings. Stay tuned.
Happy New Year to all!
My intention is to get this done to send out as a New Years card. Still carving- need to carve more time out to finish it!
"Happy 2024" linocut in progress by Sally Dean
"A Peaceful Dwelling Place" WIP 8x8 gouache by Jeanne MacFarland
My intention is find a peaceful habitation, a secure home this year
I find inspiration in the symbol of the phoenix rising,
a mythical golden bird associated with renewal and reinvention, aided
by knowledge gained from surviving adversity.”
