Today’s painting is inspired by a new book I just picked up by one of my all time favorite designers, Tricia Guild. It is called Pattern. If you’ve ever wondered where my sense of color, especially strong color, was initially inspired; First by the very talented Marty Sears, the first interior designer I worked for who also introduced me to this endlessly talented designer and author Tricia Guild owner of Designers Guild. Let me just say, I LOVE her new book!

Also, on an important note today Happy 1st day of Spring and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Holly!

I’ve been inspired again and again by this kind of cropped image I’ve seen in photographs and art. I thought today I’d give my version a whirl.

One of our recent "fun Wednesday" trips to Seal Beach, CA. Gotta love the self-portrait shot.

Rember this little fella. I love this one. And the bubble tree, another favorite.

The response to my prints at My Etsy Store has been a thrill. I feel like Sally Field’s Oscar speech, "you like me, you really like me" and I add on to it "you really like my art!!" Thank you so much for your purchases and for your interest in my art. Honestly, truly it means the world to me.
Today, I’ve decided to add 6 more of my favorites to my Etsy Store, click here to see them. I’ll be back to daily painting as soon as I get these orders shipped.

I must say there are these moments when... you choose work that you love and you’re not sure how it is all going to come together, but you just know that the work you’re doing is what you are meant to do...you often forget just how far you’ve come. Well, realizing that you’ve just been published in a book about the creatively self employed is a nice reminder that you are still on the path.
Congratulations to the spirited Kristen Fischer on publishing her first book. A must have by the way for anyone already creatively self-employed or for those longing to take that journey themselves. Thank you Kristen for including me in your creative dream come true. You can pick up a copy here.
