First Blog Post

While taking an online class with Juliette Crane, How to Paint an Owl 2, I was encouraged by some of the other students, via a private FB page for the classroom, to start a blog, so here I am. 

I was into scrapbooking and had amassed supplies and tools for that when when my local scrapbook store shut down and I had no other resource for live classes, I started taking online classes and was soon addicted. I got introduced to Mixed Media Art by Christy Tomlinson.   I have learned so much from a lot of wonderful, sharing artists out there, whose links you can find on the right column.

My hope is to use this blog to share art, tips and techniques - pay it forward. I would love to hear from you, since this is new to me, I appreciate any feedback. 

Here are some pics of some of the artwork resulting from the How to Paint an Owl 2 (which was before I started this blog, so I have no step by steps), in the future, I will post projects and pics of the progression.
