Finally... SPRING! A Fresh, New Floral Painting Series

-

In these strange and bewildering days, I hang on to beauty, art and family. Inspired by the gorgeous arrangements in Floret Farm's lovely books, I escaped to my sweet studio and tried something new: cake decorating techniques on canvas! As a semi-retired cake artist, I have found that using modeling paste, spackling, and joint compound through frosting bags and tips can make some interesting textures to my paintings. What a fun way to combine some of the many skills I acquired as a wedding cake artist with my many years of experience with acrylics. I believe I am onto something here...                                                    How about you?

A Peek Inside...

A Although it is always a joy to be in my Studio, hot and humid days make for some fairly uncomfortable painting sessions. During the winter, it is cozy and warm with all the windows and a heater but during the summer months, it can get quite toasty. (Not to mention the mosquitoes!) But on this lovely August morning, we have been blessed with a crispness that calls to mind the approaching Autumn. And as always, that inspires me to tackle some much-needed tidying up of my sweet Studio. It has been a busy season preparing for festivals and shows and the frenzy that goes with it. And she is so tiny that she is filled to overflowing. Time to cleanse and purge and re-think the space. Only one more festival this year and I am looking forward to the quieter months ahead. I do hope today brings you a sense of joy and anticipation. Blessings, Ann

  This year has been unforgettable (unfortunately) and I have had a great need for something to distract me from the madness of 2020. Now it seems I found the very thing!  A few months ago, I myself how to needle felt small little happy creations. They take hours to make and I never truly know how they'll turn out when I begin, But the act of gathering divine tufts of warm wool and inserting a tiny needle repeatedly until it begins to weave itself into something magical has brightened my world. Here's hoping it adds a little cheer to your Christmas season, too.
