I have quite a few pieces lying around my studio from my {Held}Captive Class. Some were unfinished and some I thought were finished but sometimes they call me back to do more. This is a good place for me to warm up... it feels safer and a less intimidating. It is like having an underpainting and I get to keep on playing. I love going back to old pieces. It is part of why I never throw failed pieces out.

When all else fails, I still have a prepped canvas to work with.

I loved playing here last week.

Dipping my brushes in beautiful paint... felt like Christmas. A real gift.

Although I haven't felt ready for much, I sure did miss this and this felt good.

Much love always, Jeanne-Marie
