This past year has been hard for everyone, some more than others. I have positives and negatives I have personally experienced during this ‘quarantine’ and all of its regulations. In March of ’20, when it all started, I panicked for about a day. Panicking did nothing,...

I’m working on this new technique with portraits that is really fun, and people seem to like it! It makes me a little nervous to do, because if I blow the paint in the wrong direction, it could ruin hours of detailed painting on the face. Then again, maybe it...
