Note Cards.

I produced a set of note cards.  I love to send a handwritten message.  It's so important in this day and age of instant messaging, emailing, all the electronic stuff that gets lost or tossed.  It feels good to find something in the mailbox that is not a bill!  And it doesn't at all have to be a long wordsy letter.  I had a friend scold me onetime for not keeping in better touch than I had been.  She said, "it would mean so much to me if you just dropped a note telling me you are thinking of me along with the date."  

That really stuck with me.  

This is a full size image of one of the cards.  I used 8 different images and the box of note cards contains one of each along with 8 envelopes.  I am selling them on our website.

These are the images of the cards. Thanks so much for looking! 

                                                                               

After teaching.

I teach a lot.  I love to teach.  I consider myself an educator.  However, there's an old saying, "those who can, do. . . those who can't, teach."  Ridiculous.  One thing though, I feel I can "lose" my personal voice after teaching a few workshops in a row.  It doesn't take much.  It's that "voice" that lives in the "intuitive" part of the brain.  When one paints and paints and paints and paints, (earnestly) ones personality can't help but emerge. This is the place I need to get back to and there's nothing else to do but paint and put in the mileage!  It's really like riding a bike.  That point I want to reach of feeling like I can ride without holding onto the handle bars and weave back and forth, speed up, slow down.  So I came home and dove in.  These are 3 of 12

12" x 16" panels I painted to just try and find my voice again.
