I have been busy in the studio working on lots of new artwork to share with you and thought you might have fun seeing this “Vision Girl” I’ve been working on. You may remember that I am taking the Your Living Canvas course with Christy Tomlinson and Art McCracken…well, I created this colorful chick for one of the lessons.
I am including a video below so grab a cuppa tea {or such!} and enjoy a visit to my studio. I had been working on this canvas and all of a sudden decided I wanted to share her via a video with you all so I just stopped what I was doing and made one. I decided I am going to have some videos that I call “On a Whimsical Whim” videos…these will be ones where I am not worrying about the lighting, if my studio is cleaned up, or any other details. Hmm…I’m thinking alot of my videos may end up falling into this category because I truly want them to be as though you just stopped by my studio for a visit, or we met on the patio for cappuccino ~ just friends hangin’ out!! I just want them to be fun and inspiring! That’s the goal, sweet friends!
I didn’t have a real plan in mind for this girl but knew I wanted her to be on a colorful, vibrant background. Watch the video below to see all the details about how the process went. 🙂
In the video you’ll find that this girl was created with quite a bit of finger painting!! Oh, how I love paint on my fingers!! It is so therapeutic, I tell ya!! This “Vision Girl” is in the shoppe now as a print. I hope she will add some inspiration to your life!
Below is the video…please excuse the light/dark situation going on…again, just on a whim…sharing a little of my heart with you! And, I don’t know why, but it seems as though I started off as if I was telling you a secret {so you may have to turn up the volume a bit}…well, I suppose I am telling you some studio secrets!! Enjoy!!
Hope you have a fabulous and VIBRANT weekend!!

Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
You are too precious, thanks for sharing this! I would love to hear more about your scanned prints and not sealing your originals! Thank you, thank you for sharing this video. It helps to hear how others are doing!
I loved watching this and hearing about your thoughts on visions for ourselves. Getting HAPPY MAIL is the best, even my kids get excited about it. Just so you know, the lighting was good and your studio looks beautiful, love all the windows. I hope you will do more of these videos, I agree with Ashley it’s helpful to hear other people’s thoughts on art and what works for them. Thanks for sharing this with us, love your canvas, she came out so pretty.
Dawn, I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the video…thanks so much for taking time to visit with me in my studio!! 🙂 Many thanks for your comments about the lighting and how my studio looks…so happy you could see it ok. Oh, I love those windows, too!! I just catch myself taking a few minutes here and there to look out at the pond, watch the blue herons that come by, and try to see if any turtles are sunbathing!! It is great to hear about others’ artistic ideas and things that work for them. My sketches and paintings truly come from my heart, and I love sharing it with others…my mind is always turning with new thoughts and ideas. Thank you for your compliment about the canvas…she really came to “life” rather quickly as I think back to the night I started working on her…I love it when that happens. It was as though I didn’t really have to “think ” about how I wanted to create it…guess that means she is really full of my vision, heart, and soul! 🙂 Love hearing from you!!
