With all of the snow we are having, painting beach scenes while watching the snow falling heavily outside my studio window, makes me long for the beach. Any warm beach with palm trees will do. Although the tile painting was relaxing, easy, and a whole lot of fun, harnessing my obsession of the medium has been very rewarding for me. I am so excited to be able to hold workshops and teach this medium to others who are unfamiliar with it’s properties. I never thought I could produce a lovely painting, as this is definitely not my forte. Because this medium nearly paints itself, the outcome is always interesting, if not simply beautiful. Learning how to work with it through limited instruction (as it is so new to the fine arts genre, there are few books out there) was there best investment I could have made!!
