Today my account at Acrylic University lost a lot of weight! As of this date, I no longer have access to their painting video riches in the Journey, the Library, the Archives etc. It is with sadness that I say farewell to this chapter of my art journey (though I still have access to the… Continue reading On my own
One of the things that marks a new year for me (besides putting up new calendars and trying to ignore the temptations of fridge and pantry) is the plan to send greeting cards to my close family and friends. What better way to let someone know you’re thinking of them than to send a birthday… Continue reading Show how much you care

I do enjoy this time of year when we cycle back to January, hang up new calendars, start a new… Continue reading Jump starting the new year

On reading the whole book, I discovered that there is an online community… Continue reading New Gallery on Daily Paintworks

In the fall, I entered my painting in an art and poetry contest sponsored by the Christian Courier magazine. The contest, called… Continue reading Pandemic response–through art and poetry
Happy New Year! Here we are, already seven days into 2022. How is the year treating you so far? Have you made (and perhaps broken) resolutions? Are you trying something new? I am! My family knows what to give me at Christmas these days. A gift card to my favourite art supply store gets 5… Continue reading The sun rises on something new
