Equestrian Lessons

When my daughter Sarah was a little girl, she took equestrian lessons.  I spent hours at the barn with her and I often brought my sketch pad.

Recently, I turned my sketch into some products on my Society6 shop.  Prints, iPad cases, tees and even iPhone5 cases.

Tote bags

 tees and hoodies and iPad skins.

I love being able to turn my artwork into practical products that people can use.  The best part is Society6 is an amazing venue where other artists promote your work.  The quality of the products that Society6 uses really make your artwork shine.

Collage Inspiration

My old friend COLLAGE.  I recently took a Big Picture Class with Claudine Hellmuth.  I learned all about how to simplify a composition.

I love her work, and her workshops are wonderful.

I learned all about the makings of a good composition.

How to define an Asymmetrical design versus a Vignette.

And how to use techniques to keep the interest on the page.  There were lots of handouts, inspirational downloads, and videos filled with inspiration.  It was more fun than a day at the circus.

I had forgotten how much I love collage.  What a nice class, I learned so much and am filled with collage inspiration.
