Here are the art books that I have pages yet to fill.   They are half empty because another one was purchased and I was finished with the subject matter in each - a larger one, a  spiral one,  a small one, etc.   EMPTY PAGES!

New year - New paint book.   I LOVE this read.   It talks directly to me as I have experienced all the things that are discussed.   It will certainly be a reference throughout my many adventures in the world of creativity!

I started painting in 2004 and have painted over 300 pieces.   That is not counting all those art books that I have partially filled and the many classes I have taken.   I really should be a better painter but still lack the ability!   I keep switching from acrylics to watercolors and now attempting to use gouache paints.

Colleen and I got together and began our 2026 creative adventures. 
We talk more than put paint brush to canvas!

I kept up with my work when Colleen said "good-bye".  This was today's attempt.    I see so much more that I should do!   Guess that's tomorrow's task.

I wish I'd reach a "good painting" habit, but can't reach that unless I paint more. That's why I need those classes - to get me moving in different directions with assignments due every week, Judy!
