Some artist have one muse,
and some have more then one.
I happen to be lucky enough to
have at least 3 muses.
The one within me.
Muse number 2, aka my husband.
And, muse number 3, a good friend who I met 20
years ago while living in TX.
 A year ago when I started painting Rooster's, 
muse #3 put a little bug in my ear
about possibly of painting the
mythical bird, the Phoenix.
Apparently, these things take a while to
marinate with muse #1.
The marinating however, has definitely taken hold,
as there are many more of these to come.
This first one is for you Jason.
Thank you for your insightful input.
I appreciate your support and encouragement.

As always, thank you for letting me share my art with you. Cheers! 

30 Days of Painting

Collage of Sept 2013 Paintings
Click for a Closer Look at each one

As some of you know, 

there was a painting challenge out there

to paint 30 paintings in 30 days of Sept. 

Since the goal was to get you to paint on a daily basis,

due to my slow painting style, 

My goal was 30 days of painting instead. 

I will admit it here and now,

I painted 25 of the 30 days. 

For me, that is a pretty darn successful month.  

I did manage to complete 4 paintings in that time.

It was almost 5!

If I had painted those 5 missed days it would have been. 

For me, the best part about looking at this collage

is that all the paintings came out of 

intuitive painting.

Meaning when I started each one I really

had no clue what I was going to paint.

I just set out my favorite colors and started painting.

Which I consider a FABulous thing.

It means my creative mojo has returned. 

WoooHooo!

Please feel free to click on the picture for a closer

look at each painting.

Thanks for letting me share my art with you.

Cheers!
