Venice Beach

Had a lovely day, sitting on the sand at Venice Beach...Being near the ocean always calms me down.  It always makes problems seem so much smaller.  I hope someday to live close to the ocean, so that I can take in her beauty on a regular basis....so wonderful.

Weekend with Tracy Verdugo....

Had an amazing weekend, learning from an incredible artist, that I admire so much!  If you dont know Tracy Verdugo's work, then you really should check it out.  Its just beautiful!   I've admired her art for quite a while now, and this weekend had the privilage of taking her art workshop.  Sometimes it is really difficult to go outside of your creative comfort zone...but so worth it when you do!  I felt like I was "in the zone" all weekend long!  It was awesome!  Here are a couple of pics from my painting, as I went through some of the different stages...I'm not quite sure that I am finished...I think there are a few more changes that need to be made....
