It all happened so fast ....


One day I'm bloggin along
then suddenly

(scary music)

I'm the face of
The Necessary Evil!!!!!
:O


or secret indulgence
It's a blurry line at this point...
:)

Suffice it to say
ALL new news started showing up on Facebook!

The moment I used my FB mobile App to share that all my paintings had sold in the
Farm to Table
show...
I was hooked


Now helpless to the charms of the quick and easy "share" button :) 
I posted 
about my workshop ...


demo area


work stations


props


color exercises

* painting THICK color next to each other without blending
* using touches of complimentary colors
* transition colors to optically blend without blending
* painting highlight "halos" and a very pale compliment [in] the highlight


We painted kisses for value


caramels to stretch our color perception
 and finally applying these ideas to presents!

Sold
Demo: "Lush" 10" x 10" 

If only I had stopped there!!
but noooooo ....
even
more
news
of 



"Fourth" 48" x 48"
Sold


and
"Fifth" 48" x 48"
Sold

Please drop by the gallery to join in celebrating their 5th year! 

And HERE to connect with me on Facebook

just sayin'

It's a slippery slope, indeed...

Ha! I enjoyed your blog today and appreciate being reminded of some basic principles. Amongst those hundreds, it is so easy to forget. Thank goodness the principles aren't rules!

The slipperiest isn't it Jennifer! I guess instagram is next! I'm definitely holding out on tweeting.

Thank you Carol and Christine!!
