Today, I stained the surface of an old buffet. It will become a new work surface in my studio!

The learning curve can be a bit of an emotional roller coaster. I have days where I feel that I've improved so much, then the very next day not hit my target at all! The key is to stay consistent w...

A revolutionary idea from the 1960's! What if fashion actually help facilitate change? Well, for Rudy Gernreich, that was his intention and motivation for many of his designs!

Walking through the woods with my top open!
The weather has taken on an autumn feel, but it's still hot in the middle of the day!

Perhaps it’s the changing seasons, or a sign of aging, but it was such a strain on my eyes to paint indoors today. I took all of my stuff outside to paint. The bright sunshine helped significantl...

As a college student, I built a lot of stretcher bars/canvases. Building my own was cheaper.
