I will not apologize for "Life", it happens.  It's been a while since I posted anything and we all go through this so that's life. Recently I have delve into my own art not focusing on any lesson planning during vacation but, with any art experience, it can also turn into a great lesson too. I just wanted to give you a small preview of my art journals which I have fallen in love with, and a few paintings that I have been working on. Stay tuned for more.  A work in  progress but loving it so far.
