The (NAA) Nevada Artists Association will be hosting a 1 day workshop "Fun with a SMUDGE!"
I will be teaching the basics of the technique, as you can see in the flier, you can go in all different directions and have fun doing so! Register at www.NevadaArtists.org today.  Ages 13 and up are encouraged to apply.  The fee includes all materials. All that is necessary to bring to class is a pair of pointed scissors and an open mind to experimentation, play and to learn something new!  See you on April 23rd! 

Creating Mandalas seems to help me to relax, and to focus, on the many things that are taking place in my life.   I usually create my Mandalas in pen and color pencils.  This image is a Mandala I created a while back.   I cut two shapes to make my template, can you guess what they might be?

Let's see what your catch of the day looks like!  Send it my way, I would love to see.  

My all around image for the holidays is and always has been a Peace Dove!  World Peace in my lifetime would be a glorious experience.  Sending Peace and Love to one and all!  

If you are interested in receiving the template for creating your very own Peace Dove for the holidays please email me at art@oilpastelsmudge.com ( subject line: Peace for All) and I will send you the pdf to make it happen. Let's spread Peace and Love to the whole world!
