Updated from a previous post... I was once asked about the brand of paint I use and whether I prefer cold water or hot water to paint.  Both were interesting questions and I didn't have an immediate answer for that customer - though I should have!  After that, I have made an effort to become more aware of the supplies I use to create my artwork, and why I prefer some brands over others. This has been a good exercise for me as well as arming me with the sure knowledge of the answers to those questions should they arise again sometime in the future! "A Patchwork Fall" - watercolor ©Jennifer Love I once ran out of Ultramarine Blue paint in my palette and had to replace it with a tube from a brand I don't normally use. While the color match was similar, the properties of the paint differed quite a bit in use. It helped me realize why I seek out my preferred brand of paint. :) As to the cold vs. hot water, I generally use cold tap water. Over ti...

Background image source: Death to Stock Photos Are you a Right Brain or a Left Brain...a "numbers person" or a "creative sort"? Why should we have to choose? Why do we need to define ourselves as an "analytical thinker" or a "creative thinker"? Why can't a person be both? Has anyone heard of Leonardo DaVinci - one of the most important historical figures to contribute to both science and to art?

It's Spring here in Utah. One of my favorite seasons of the year. I love the color and blossoms that are coming out. There are little chutes of green poking through the ground...and the tulips are starting to color. Hopefully the deer will leave them alone this year! After a rainy week (thankfully - as we need the water!), we had a little sunshine this afternoon and I spent a few hours out working in my garden. The garlic I planted last October is growing. Today, I planted carrots and potatoes, laid out my plans for where to plant crops, and put together a few more raised beds. Some parts of the yard and garden are full of sticker weeds...ergh! I'm trying to make my yard and garden organic, so I'll have to figure out how to take care of that without weed killer. Always a challenge to deal with!! My garden and my art studio are my happy places. I love the growing season. Gardening is an exercise in patience...in seeing sometihing awesome come out of hope and hard work. It...
