Contemporary Abstract Painter Paulette Insall's paintings come from her heart....expressing emotion as a visual language, using pure color and expressive marks to connect and communicate. Her abstract art emits a special light and magic that is both spiritual and moving.
When you get sick for a couple of months and don't use your studio....it becomes a "catch all"! Lol! As you can see from the before/after pics, I have managed to clean up a bit in there so I can actually work now that I'm feeling better. Ramping up for some BIG stuff!! More details really soon!!!

Don't miss out on my HUGE giveaway....comment on yesterday's post!!
Now all I have to do to is clean up in here and find room for it. ha, ha...now that's gonna be a toughie. I'm already kind cramped in here with my computer and my big printer....but I find a way somehow. I just gotta!!! :D
Here's a new find for me...a watersoluble graphite pencil, "Sketch & Wash", by General's and it can be found at Michaels Art & Craft stores in the drawing section. I've been a big fan of Stabilo Marks All graphite pencils for almost a year now because when I'm using it on my canvas I can just use a wet paper towel to erase with, but have been looking for an alternative because many times my local art store has been out of them lately. And lo and behold I find these a few weeks ago during a morning trip to the craft store. Plus they're almost half the price!!! Woo hoo!!! Score!!! :D
Yep, I am. Show of hands???? Yeah I thought so...you're right there with me, aren't ya. ;) Well who can pass up a 40% percent off sale on stamps? Not. me. LOL! I went into Joann craft store yesterday while Aiden was at his speech class and kept telling myself that I wasn't going to buy anything art related....no matter what! I was just going in to pick up a few items for Aiden's Easter basket (all their Easter stuff is 50% off right now). Can you believe it's almost here already??? I mean March is just screaming by!!!!
Anyway, I make the mistake of going down the isle that has the clear unmounted stamps....which is my biggest weakness! Big. mistake. And I do mean BIG! I told myself, okay now, only a alphabet set...that I could really use more of. Then I look up....another mistake. I see the red sign in front of my face that says "Sale 40% off" and it even had all the original prices with the sale prices next to them so I didn't even have to do the math in my head. I was sunk. Next thing I knew I was grabbing this one and that one and before I knew it my hands were full. Only 5 minutes left before I'd have to go to the register and pay for everything in order to be at the school in time to pick Aiden up. Okay so I said to myself after looking at the ridiculous amount of clear stamp sets that had been piling into Aiden Easter basket, do I really need all these? After looking through them one more time, I decided to put two of the sets back because there really was only one or two stamps in those sets that I would even use...hey at least that saved me $12 bucks! LOL! ;)
So I managed to get it all paid for....even after joking for a little bit with the cashier about how I had so many stamps at home and here I was buying more because it was such a good sale....and get to the school 3 minutes early. Yea!
Oh and hey, if you have a Joann's Art & Craft store near you I think the sale on the stamps is going on until Saturday. So go get your stamp fix. I know....I'm such an enabler, aren't I? But you love me anyway, right? ;) xoxo
