My Bio
Please look at my SCRAPBOOK also! :)

I'm just me. I grew up in a home where my mom & stepdad had both been to art college, so I was steeped in art for as long as I can remember. I've always loved it, even back in the good ol' coloring book days, haha. I took a bunch of art classes in high school, was voted "most artistic" my senior year, and then went on to college, where I didn't really produce any art, except for a collage here and there. And no, I didn't go to art school. I prefer to look at it the Van Gogh way, "if I'm going to make art, I want it to happen naturally." Now I'm living and working in a National Park, and I missed art these past few months, so I've been doing some little sketches here and there and I'm getting back into oil painting... and I'm excited about it :)

My elephant!

So, I'm not sure why, but I've wanted to paint an elephant for ahwile, so today I sat down and did it. I love it! Just have to decide on the background... And also, I still haven't done anything with that apple painting!! Sometime.

My latest is a pretty simple work done on a small stretched canvas... I can't seem to get a good photo of it, but it's up. I'm pleasantly surprised at how it turned out, especially the colors in the sky. :) I also have to do something with that apple painting I never finished... hmm

Abstract....

0 min read
So, I had a day off and I sat down and painted the "Emotions Under Umbrella"... and it just came out how it did. It felt really good to do, and to sit and look at after. There's so much going on, but it doesn't expect anything from you.You can wander through it and explore and take what you will from it. It just is what it is. I think that's real art.
