"Making good art depends upon making lots of art, and any device that carried the first brushstroke to the next blank canvas has tangible, practical value." - from the book Art & Fear by David Bayless and Ted Orland

I went this weekend to pick up my artwork from Edgewood Orchard Gallery in Door County and attended the wonderful artists reception. As their season closes I feel blessed to be a part of that gallery, and probably the youngest artist represented there. Luckily, I didn't have much to bring back as most of it sold this season. It's feelings like this that immediately get me back in the studio, working away. All winter I will paint and send the best pieces to my favorite galleries!

So, to help me get back in the studio, I ordered more oil paints in luscious colors that were different from others and I'm excited to try them!
