This is the finished abstract mermaid painting. It’s up for grabs in my Etsy gallery. I have been out-of-pocket doing some home remodeling projects with my husband. https://www.instagram.com/p/CNYqpMhMpLK/?igshid=9aa97v74azh

This is another painting from the abstract mini series. I am fixing to remodel my house to put on the market so I’m having to pack up my little art room studio. I’m a little depressed about loosing my space and having to work out of a box for a while. Where there’s a will there’s a way. The show will go on. https://www.instagram.com/p/CM-zG79MzX5/?igshid=9o02406ri46y

This from a small abstract study I did a few months back. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMyK7s_JiRV/?igshid=1gkzzsxoqryky

This is the last Geisha in the series. Fun fact: Geisha Kimonos are often hand made from silk and cost around $50,000. It is common knowledge that many Geisha prefer to wear each Kimono only once.

I painted this years ago when I did a drawing prompt that said draw a sea witch. I don’t know what a sea witch is but there was a bar named The Sea Witch in Pass Christian,MS near the beach. What are your thoughts on sea witches? Are they just evil mermaids? I just think she’s 😎 cool. #mermaid #seawitch https://www.instagram.com/p/CMnc0UqpqJX/?igshid=1p71dre3xebfe

This is # 2 of the 5 Geisha I painted. I did the makeup a little different on her eyes. Here is a Geisha Fun Fact: To prevent their elaborate and time consuming hair styles from falling out, Maiko and Geisha have to sleep on a wooden pillow a few inches from the ground called Takamakura. - from https://hauteculturefashion.com/facts-about-geisha/ #geisha #womenoftheworld #culture https://www.instagram.com/p/CMiK0kOh8H3/?igshid=1ozmg308a2jvi

This is from an intuitive watercolor and ink series I created last month. It was a very fun and addicting process. I think I probably painted about 20 of them in this series.

Has anyone read this book? If so, what did you think? I bought it because I read an article that Walter Anderson used it to learn drawing. I think it’s amazing. I just order his other book on simplified human figure drawing. I’m not finished reading it yet. The book has some wonderful exercises to do as you progress through it. #artbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CMYd-e4h5en/?igshid=19wn2q6uvclm8
