I set this blog up a while ago, then abandoned it. It's been sitting here empty for no other reason than I just haven't had a lot of time to think about it. But now I'm thinking that empty pages are pretty frightening - maybe even ominous. So I'm going to leave a few things here just in case you'd like to know what I've been up to.

Jane Davies has been offering some fantastic online tutorials, and I've taken a few. This is a new adventure for me. If anyone wants to know what an online tutorial should look like, sign up for one of Jane's. I've really learned a lot from her, and I've taken some tentative steps into acrylic painting and paper collage. The photos below are some of the projects I completed in her "Exploring the Secrets of Color" class. these are the very first pieces I ever made with acrylics, and I have to say I like some of them a lot.
