fine art prints
Welcome
I started this blog after moving to northern New Mexico from coastal North Carolina. Feeling the loss of my creative community, I started posting works in progress as a way to push myself forward and connect with other writers and painters.
For the first eight months or so I offered original narrative images as weekly image prompt for writers. The Storybook Collaborative pages document the collaborations.
Sadly - for I have enjoyed the adventure, and meeting so many interesting, creative souls - keeping the blog has has taken a back seat to sleep, family, work obligations and the birth of our Mountain daughters. I'd like to get back to it and still hope to one day. Until such time I am delighted by your visit and hope you will leave a comment and come back for more.

Oh, I like this. Such a friendly witch. I’m torn — do I trust her?

If that is a serving of light she’s offering then I think you can trust her.
Ummm. I’m down with the flu. My son just surrounded me with stuffed animals on the way out the door with his skateboard. I have a big, green chameleon on my head as I write. I’m feeling better already. Thanks for checking in.

I love this picture. The subject looks so warm and huggable, like someone I would like to spend a lot of time with. The whole thing is just so inviting.

Thank you, Caryn. Several people modeled for this painting: the hands and forearms are mine, those are my dad’s eyes looking back at you (dreamy-wonder-man), the lopsided smile and the idea for uplighting came from Rubens. My friend Tif graciously experimented with holding pan and spoon at different angles.

Thanks for the background, sleepinghill! I love to read the story behind a piece of art, whether it’s a painting, poem, or whatever. This is a really great painting!
