It’s funny, I used to be ‘afraid’ or intimidated by the thought of painting with acrylic. For some… Continue reading Work in Progress
Well hi there! I love this sun-shiny photo – it has a very fall feel to it. I took it after being home for about a week, so early October. September and October are my favourite months – for me they mean new project beginnings, fresh air, and bundled up cozy walks. It’s a… Continue reading Back Home and Busy!
I am back here – beautiful Cape Breton. Artist in residence for only two short weeks. But my inspiration reserve is back to being full and hopefully this will translate to semi-regular blog posts when I return. Until then, be well and happy! Mish
