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!
