Art Is Therapy



I wanted to tell you about a very special little girl.

I've known Emily since she was 5 years old.  
Emily has struggled with severe shyness her whole, young life.

Emily, now 10, was given the promise of a private art lesson if she was able to do an 
oral presentation for her teacher at school.

Well, this little girl overcame her shyness and did it!

She picked a Mountain Waterfall with a Flowery Meadow painting to 
celebrate her accomplishment.

I am so proud of Emily and I think she did a fantastic job on her painting!

I'm looking forward to Emily being my art helper this summer! 
 She wants to keep working hard and painting!







On a personal note, I am so honored that my art classes are an incentive for her to 
work hard to overcome her shyness.

It's been a while!


I haven't posted in a while!  

What should my first post back be about?

hmmm...  well,

I went to Art Biz Breakthrough, with Alyson Stanfield this past weekend and 
have a new dedication to my art blog.
Let's hope it sticks!  

Art Talk

I prepped canvases today for an aspen tree project.
This project is a set of three 24X48 canvases.

It's going to be a fun project!




This is a collage from a couple years ago!
It's great to be back!
