Goodness, it’s been a while. I’ve been busy with life. I’ve continued to paint daily, but nothing passed what I call the gesso test. It wasn’t going to get any better and so I just laid gesso over the images to start over. I’ve sketched some images on the newly gessoed canvases and I hope

November
It’s November 4. Election Day here in the US. Please, if you have not yet voted, get out there and vote. I’ve made no secret of my support of Senator Barak Obama. I’ve had his badge in my sidebar for a while now. And, while this is not a political blog, I do urge you
How long has it been?
My goodness. I can’t remember the last time I posted. It’s been a while. Sorry for worrying some of you, but I’m doing OK. Grab a cup of coffee or tea and relax it’s time for a catch-up post. Last week I had my treatment. It was a difficult one. I’m just starting to feel
CreativeTherapy – Catalyst 29
This week’s CreativeTherapy catalyst is “Who is someone you admire or look up to. Here is my response to this catalyst: The first person I thought of when I thought of inspirational people was Maya Angleou. I had the honor of hearing her speak when I was in college, but prior to that, her autobiographical

So, here is my response to the catalyst: If there was one
CreativeTherapy – Catalyst 25
CreativeThreapy’s 25th Catalyst was published yesterday. It’s “What is something you fear?” This one was fairly easy for me. It’s something I live with regularly. One of my greatest fears is that there will be a time when I don’t bounce back from an exacerbation of my chronic illness. There was a time quite a
CreativeTherapy – Catalyst 24
This week’s CreativeTherapy catalyst is “What inspires you?” It was difficult to pick just one thing that inspires me. So many things inspire me – feeling healthy, the smile on my husband’s face, new art supplies, looking out my studio window… It’s a different thing each day. So I realized that the best way to

Do be sure to visit and participate by sharing your response to this week’s catalyst, “What do you collect or hoard?” Catalyst 23 Journaling: For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the history of things, especially vintage train cases and old photographs.
