It is All about Fear
“Fear” 2009 by Megan Collins Sold. This is a painting that I did to represent fear. “She sits there, alone and unprotected in a dark place, frozen in fear, surrounded by nameless, faceless demons that don’t exist. The path is there if she can only open her eyes to see it…” It is all about…
Punalu’u Pond Lilies
Here is the second painting in the Ka’u series. I don’t know how much further this is going to go, I’m finding that I am not crazy about landscape painting, as much as I think I love it. It’s too easy for me to get lost in the details. This is a pond that is…
Makanau – A Keystone Painting
As part of this painting course, Rose had us work on a Keystone painting. This was the final painting of the class. The concept behind this is that it is the pivotal center point of a cluster of paintings that work together as a cohesive whole. There are many ways in which this can work,…
Week 12 – Fantasy Painting
Time Machine – 2019 I had a talk with my teacher. We’re all really frustrated that we are behind with all the work we need to complete for class. She told us that she is doing this intentionally so that we start to paint faster. The only way to do that is to just do…
Weeks 10 – 12 Portraits Week 2

The Time Machine
I’m working my way through how to structure this blog. I have many posts from when I was taking a class back in 2019 and moving forward from then. I was waiting for the new website. My blog was broken. The light was bad, my foot slipped. Excuses, excuses, excuses… Either way, I’m here now.…
What is a Giclée anyway? Isn’t it just a print?
People are often confused about the two and don’t realize that there is a difference. Giclées can be either on canvas or paper. I am not up on what’s possible about printing on metal. Currently, my art giclées are only available on canvas. Canvas prints are basic inkjet printers that use dye inks, which are…
I’m Back!
I’m sorry it’s been so long since I posted to this blog. Once upon a time, the world was inundated with a terrible disease that as far as we knew, had no cure. Either you survived, or you didn’t. So, part of my silence was covid; not being sick, just stressed out about it and…
Advanced Painting Atelier Week 10 & 11 Split-Complimentary Color Figure Painting
“Two Weeks.” I have visions of the huge and tall person in the movie Total Recall when the head explodes while going through customs. I decided to do a portrait, of course, I wanted to challenge myself because I thought I needed the practice. Finishing it in two weeks was a joke! For what it…
