Here it is again, cold days, long evenings, chilly winds and I am reaching out to the wool again. It might have something to do with the season, or might be a much needed change of pace. I have ...

I am very excited about this. Etsy is running a beta project on funding project for Etsy sellers, and I am one of the first one to be in it. I am trying to raise money to make an e-book about th...

And it is gorgeous! A wonderful poet Warren Ross had written amazing poems to go with my watercolors, giving them a whole new life. Like little riddles put together they work to make it come to l...

Just read a book about how important it is to sketch 15 minutes a day. Somone might laught, but to me 15 minutes of sketching is not something to be taken for granted. So I promised myself i will...

Big holidays are always a time of reflection. A time to think what was happening at this time last year, the year before....This year as we were driving at night on one of New York beutifully lig...

 I have a new "thing"! I am painting plates with Pebeo paint. It is a very different feeling than doing watercolors, and I really enjoy the cleanness of lines and the smootheness of the materia...

We were supposed to have a "snow storm of a century". Ha ha! I believe we got 12 inches at most, but oh what a fuss had been created. All cars were ordered off the streets, grocery stores were em...

So, as promised I am trying to keep documenting our life. It is such a great way to capture the moments, that will otherwise go without noticing. We painted a chicken, and a deer, built a tent, ...

At least I will try to get back. It is cold outside, the Christmas lights are on, the fire stove burning, and everyone in the family is asleep. Except for the cats of course. Life is good. It is...

I do not post much these days, because I simply do not have enough time to make Art.  I try to keep going at least a bit at a time, but it is minuscule in comparison to what I used to be able to...

I just want to have this here. I wish Ukraine peace. With all my heart I wish that no war will strike and no people are killed in this absurd political game that Russia is playing. I have been wa...

Where? Good question. We moved. It was a long a hard move, and after 6 years of staying in one place it was not easy to pack up and go. But as always moving was a cleansing experience, getting r...

It is spring once again here in New York. My favorite time of year, my favorite smell in the air, my favorite color of the sky. We have repainted our apartment anew and are ready to start sellin...

May be it is more for me to remember, but I do want to remember these days. Travelling here is like recharging my battery of inspiration and creativity. I do not have time to draw or paint here w...

Watercolor is so light. It is full of light. The more I work with it the more I feel that what I do is too heavy, less is needed. Less strokes, less effort, less information. It should be more fr...
