On the first of every month, I post the Happening in the Studio (H.I.T.S.).
I share my trials, triumphs, and behind the scenes of working as a visual artist.
For now I am taking a sabbatical from posting about my art adventures. Enjoy back reading. There's plenty there to peruse.

Hi, Elizabeth. I'm Babes and I'm also an artist. Thanks for inspiring me with the happenings in your life. Right now I'm still struggling in the aftermath of the great loss of my art stuff, materials and all even my books even those I accumulated way back in college(almost three centuries ago). I lost them all in the great flood last year. Life has to go on and it uplifts me to see creations of young artists like you. God bless you, my dear!
ReplyDeleteHi Babes,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your struggles. You sound like a very tough and determined women. What kind of art do you make? I'd love to see some photos.
warm wishes,
Elizabeth
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU, JANELLE
ReplyDeleteyour work is top notch! - Paula
ReplyDeleteHey Elizabeth, I stumbled on here after looking at your display board for Ian. I love your work. It is fun, uplifting, and makes me smile. I hope all is going well for you. Christina (Ian's cousin)
