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!

One of my favorite past times is to create Mandalas.

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?

I have an affinity to draw, design and Smudge Hearts!  Another joy is in adding line art, especially with pencil, to the Smudge Art I create.   This piece I scanned into the computer and added lettering. You can do the same.  Give it a try!

I have been giving the Oil Pastel Smudge technique a lot of LOVE this year.  Sharing it with all types of people, in all types of situations.  Having a great time with a Smudge!  I just wished to show you a LOVE piece I created recently.  It's for the LOVE of a SMUDGE!  What a wonderful ride it has been.  More to come!

What's this about a "Smudge!"  I had a great time sharing about a "Smudge" with the members and friends of the Nevada Artist Association's September meeting.  Years ago I was a Board Member of the organization as their Media / Promotion Director, before I had a grasp of the computer and the internet.  Times have certainly changed. I picked up a MAC Computer and my art and business started to boom.   We had a great time and as always when I am sharing a "Smudge" I always have a group from the audience give it a try.   Check out the next post!
