I just had to do a painting of my Escapist Alumni Award with my black Maje dress I wore to the Gala, and I had to do it live on my Facebook show for my Mega Friends (aka the awesome collectors who watch me paint live each and every day) because it’s thanks to themContinue reading “The Award”

Sleeping Rat
John keeps telling me I’m like a rat. He says it in a very cute voice and I like it because rats are adorable and this is the Year of the Rat. Today I’m a very happy but tired rat who’s about to curl up with a small dog and sleep. After all the GalaContinue reading “Sleeping Rat”
Gala Night
Today was the big day – the Escapist Graduation Gala, broadcast over Zoom with just a few of us there. And there was a huge surprise in store for me. When Ryan asked me to be in the room when he and John gave the graduating Escapists their medals, I thought it was only becauseContinue reading “Gala Night”

In the meantime I’ve been hanging my Gold Series in the gallery for some upcoming gallery visits and they look great! Pictures can’t really doContinue reading “Deck the Halls”
Cotton Candy
A lot of good things happened today – some of these will be revealed later – so I felt like making a big abstract painting and using lots of pink! I happen to love pink, and this painting looks like cotton candy! All kinds of good things happened today. Two people who are very specialContinue reading “Cotton Candy”
Study of Blue
Today I worked on this very special bluebonnet commission for a new collector. I also finished another important commission, this watercolor of all things Louisiana. I really love how it turned out! Something else exciting: The website for the 2020 Art Launch Gala is live! The gala will be a virtual one this year, soContinue reading “Study of Blue”
