Recently I have been spending my creative time on working with soft pastels. They are very messy and I had to create aprons just to work with them. I say "had to create" with a smile since my other creative outlet is sewing. I made a custom pattern for my aprons and I have about six of them scattered around the studio in different locations. I can grab whichever fun fabric suits me, and then toss them in the washer when they get too dirty, which happens quite often.
I finished my Caribbean series and I have been bouncing back and forth with fantasy pieces and florals. I love doing beach scenes but my creativity is itching to paint some wild sunflowers, or crazy waves or even a multi-colored sunset. What can I say, I am an artist that loves color!
