I've been MIA for awhile now, after taking a break to be a new mommy. I've missed all of my friends here, and cannot wait to see what new inspirations are being made! Everyone brings such amazing talents, that it's impossible to have a favorite. But, I am honored to say that I have the BEST favorites and friends that anyone could ever have.

Some projects I've been working on are:

* A "Cajun" inspired painting of the New Orleans French Quarter at Night. It's been one of my biggest challenges yet! It's completely out of my comfort zone, being a "realist." This summer around our anniversary June 26th (also my dads bday Cemetary Visions) we plan on staying in New Orleans again. I absolutely cannot wait to set my easel up on the French Quarter and paint, all day in the warm sun. I've also have a few galleries lined up to take my art, which is exciting. And it means I better get to it!

*Japanese Geisha. To add to the series "Japanese Love" that were sold on limited edition Valentines Day cards. I plan on selling it with the other collections also. Basically it's an acrylic piece with a Geisha holding a fan over one eye. It is painted in a traditional Japanese technique on a black background. Full of intricate details in the fan and beading in her hair.

These projects will take time to finish, since I am in no rush. I am focusing on all the details and adding what needs to be, to make these paintings "over the top!" I do have a goal to finish both within the year. And cannot wait to begin new projects.

*Portraits, my number one request is still going strong! I have 4-5 lined up now. Contact me if you're interested, because I am always interested in new pieces.

*Landscapes, another favorite. What can I say? When I see a beautiful site I paint it!
