Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

A view that connects through paper and frames alike.

After hours of painting on the paper and the frame, the middle part of the Triptych is now complete. And it's a favorite one!

My fav thing to do is paint the frames. A guy at the artist reception in one of my solo shows commented, "You just couldn't stop at the end of the paper, could you? You had to go on and over the frame and make the piece look all stunning like that."

Best in person comment I have ever received.
