Just turned 44 and my first time blogging


It is the coldest night so far of this year at negative 10 degrees. I have been working on a watercolor and spent most of the day getting pieces ready for my Florida Show at Julia's Arts. Currently, I am also in a residency at Altoona After School Arts where VOILA....I am teaching 23 high school students the art of watercolor! It was so cold and windy today that I did not make the trek to Altoona and will simply add another day for the residency before I leave for Florida.

My goal in Florida is to work out some ideas for my dog book affectionately called "Paws". Other art ideas in the works include some figure pieces in clay that are both decorative and functional. For right now though, I will just concentrate on Martha's Manic Mermaids made from Metal! I will post some images of them here a little later after I get their last finish coat sprayed.

Thanks for visiting the blog....I will work on posting something as often as I can.
