Sunday Project--Learn how to make stop-motion video!

Coming this week!

The past few weeks, I have been hard at work. Art work, that is. I am drawing every day, painting at least one whole day every week, and whatever else I can squeeze in to my schedule.
Which means I have several new pieces--at least 10 ACEO's, 4 new paintings, and possibly more to add to my etsy shop this week!

I will begin listing them around 10 am (Pacific Time) on Wednesday morning. I hope to see you then!

Out With the Old...

Goodbye, old paintings. It is funny how much I liked you when I first painted you, enough to keep you in my closet for this long, I suppose. But now it is time to return you to the pristine white ground you once were, ready for something newer, more exiting, and hopefully much, much better!

I have kept some of these old things around for so long, it surprised me that I felt nothing for them as I covered them with a new layer of gesso (the usable ones), or in the case of one dented and moldy canvas, ripped it off the stretcher bars and threw it in the dumpster. They were all student work, but I was once so proud of them. Now I am just really exited to have a bunch of new painting surfaces!

Miss Purl has the best treasuries :)

Danielle of MissPurl and PoeticPurl did it again! She has a wonderful eye, and puts together the best treasuries, which are frequently featured on Etsy's front page. This time she was kind enough to include my newest painting, and lucky us, it was on the front page first thing this morning. All of those deep greens make me want to hop straight into summer!

In other Lea news, my 2nd shop reached it's 100th sale today! In celebration, I am offering $2.00 off shipping today to my blog readers. Just type the word "blog" into the "notes to seller" section upon payment, and I will refund your shipping up to $2.00. There are new items in my shop including amazing silk ribbon and little round tins, so go take a peek!
