Summer Rain Peonies was my class demonstration this morning at the Jacoby Arts Center in Alton, Illinois. Students from Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois and Missouri converged to paint bright, loose color and also to help tackle two boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts and a batch of fresh made from scratch lemon blueberry scones. Did I mention the scones had creme cheese icing drizzled on top? (note to self -- invite Susan the pastry chef to ALL future workshops!)

Visit my art blog today to read a about my visit from a ghost last night, while staying in a historic haunted house near St. Louis, Missouri! *cue scary music*

Le Petite Peonies was one of six class demonstrations in my Spring, Texas, workshop last week, held in the heart of Old Town Spring, a charming little historic town with tons of shops and restaurants. We were in the Davis & Company Gallery, and every few hours got to hear the train whistle, something right out of my earliest childhood memories. Do you ever travel somewhere, and it feels so familiar, though you've never been there before? It's like you get this instant feeling of ease, and everything you see resonates deeply in a comforting way.

I received a note from a dear friend who is battling cancer a few days ago, and her words are with me. She said: Your gift has given you a beautiful life. Enjoy the time that you have. I always try to share with my students to take a space, make it sacred, and hold this as their place to paint. Honoring yourself as an artist is so important, and yet we artists are always so busy focusing on our shortcomings, we rarely remember how special it is to have this calling. I think one of the most amazing things about my life, is my art lets me meet an amazing, wonderful group of like minded people throughout the world. What a lucky gal I am!

I often get asked where it is that I find my inspiration, and do I ever run out of ideas of things to paint. Usually I get a good chuckle out of this, because there are so many things I want to paint, it will take about 150 years for me to get to a fraction of them. I walked out on my deck this morning, after being in Tennessee for a few days, and was greeted by full, joyful blooms of color. I am often asked, how do I find my inspiration - There is one thing I almost always do to make sure the muses are singing.... Read more...
