Our final day of The Art of Block Printing workshops was filled with activity. We wrapped up a great 3 weeks!
The Art of the Block Printing project was made possible with a grant by the CF Arts and Culture Fund and the Dick and Marion Meltzer Fund of the Community Foundation for Central New York.

I loved creating at Arlene's Artist Materials, Inc. this week! Thank you for creating with me and exploring mixed media. We made our own collage papers and played with mark making and layering.

In my next mixed media workshop at Arlene's, we will create portraits. Sign up for December 6th🎨

Check out the beautiful works created during day 2 of our The Art of Block Printing workshop! The artists jumped into multiple colors and jigsaw block printing with lovely results. So many great questions and explorations💕🎨
Looking forward to our third session!

The sunflower paintings have been growing.🌻 Have been working outside on these. When I didn't have a big enough easel, I used a folding table on its side(last pic)
Let's see where this grows from here!

A look at the next layer going on. This work is for a series of images from this year's sunflowers.
❤️🎨🌻

Sunflower season!!!❤️🌻❤️
Taking photos, drawing, and painting. Taking photos for those cold winter days so, new paintings can bloom year round.
Grateful for industrious chipmunks who seem to plant everywhere.

Seeds of Hope is complete. ❤️🎨💐This painting, and my new bouquet works will be part of a new show.
I'm excited to share more details soon. I have the opportunity to show with my talented sister, whose garden photos I love. ❤️
Let's plant some seeds of hope and nurture them action.

Creating one small work a day is an important part of what I do. Today's book pages in progress. Lyra Watersoluable graphite is one of my favorite materials to explore. 9B is the one I find myself grabbing most often.

Part of two shows opening this Friday. Creative February at Arlene's Artist Materials and Self-ie at 25 Main Collective in Cherry Valley. ❤️🎨❤️

I am excited to share that I was interviewed for Canvas Rebel ❤️🎨❤️

It's the beginning of the 5th year of this part of my daily studio practice. Make 1 small work each day.
They are part of my exploration and learning. Some of them may lead to, or be part of more complete work, but that is not their sole purpose.
Show up for yourself every day in any way you can.

Show time!
Solo show in Lake George and juried shows in Saranac Lake and Cherry Valley.

Part of an exciting collaboration with Brosge and the Artist in Residence program at Arlene's Artist Materials.
Beginning of a great experience 👍🏻🎨🪡

As we wake up this morning, one guy is golfing in Mar A Lago, another guy is on vacation skiing in VT, and then the only guy who is working to defend Ukraine, America, Democracy, and freedom is today meeting with European leaders before going back to a war zone. Zelenskyy is a hero.

Breaking news! The court just issued us a TRO in our lawsuit against Elon Musk's DOGE, so that they stop taking the private data of American citizens from the Department of Ed and OPM. More to come.

Today's Creative February painting and the messy palette that helped it grow. ❤️🎨🌻
Ten years ago, the talented artist,Takeyce Walter, started Creative February as a gift to herself. It's a way to focus on making for each day in February.
Thanks Takeyce!

Day 23 of Creative February is drying on the easel in the studio.
Began with gold gesso and built from there.
Small acts of beauty, kindness, and action add up.

👍🏻

Did some framing this week to prep for upcoming shows. ❤️🎨
