The Good News

Butterflies Are Free
Best of Show
Mixed Media on Watercolor Paper

My painting won Best Of Show at the Pine Island Art Association Art Show and Sale of 2020. It was held in February before we had any inkling that so much craziness was ahead of us. I was surprised and pleased beyond words! 

Now that we're stuck inside maybe I'll be able to blog once again. Life gets in the way of so many things I think I will do. There are still the daily things that keep life and limb together.Since my husband has a heart condition I'm the designated shopper and cook which is the way it always has been, nothing new there. I just try to go less and unlike so many people out there, I try to buy only what I need. 

I'm finding it difficult to get motivated to paint but I'll post some of the things I've done since my last blog which was months ago. I did do a lot of painting in preparation of the shows that are held in the winter months. So, I have some things to draw on.

I would love some comments about how other artists are getting motivated to paint during this time. What do you do to keep your skills sharp and what inspires you?

Hang in there, fellow bloggers, this will end and we will be forever changed by it.

  1. Congratulations!!! How good is this? I'm so pleased for you Jan, nothing like a boost to keep you gong.
    I love the Butterflies are Free title. I'm laying low myself and not getting out. I think it's the only way to avoid this nightmare. A little painting.
    Stay well, stay safe.
