Creative Projects
A Piece of Creative Inspiration
I want to share a piece of creative inspiration with you. It sits at the corner of my art table in a simple black frame. This piece of artwork was not done by a famous artist. It’s not a reprint of an old master’s painting or a piece from a gallery. […]

Sea Shell Tag #12 –the end.
Drawing these shells has been good practice. Yes, it would’ve been so much easier to buy a unmounted sheet of shell stamps somewhere, but again, the goal was drawing practice. So here is #12- A ‘skillets macron’ shell, to be exact.
