Hello World!
Due to ease of access and lack of time I have been posting most of my
work and even my process via my Instagram account (@wxstudio). I'm
posting some of it here for your enjoyment. The cats and the peonies are
available for sale on my Etsy store. I enjoyed the painting process of
both thoroughly. It was awesome to re-discover my secret stash of pastel
paper! There's no better feeling that the creaminess of a soft pastel sliding over a sexy rough surface like the one I painted these babies in... I hope that wasn't too dirty for you ;)

Instagram Live Demo & Other Good News
I came home today full of inspiration. I discovered some pieces of Canson paper in my studio and my husband cut them in nice little squares. I knew I wanted to use pastels. I used my smart phone to take pictures of the process and proceeded to post my process on Instagram as it happened. I was quite happy to see that people were looking at my "live demo!" It is sooo exciting to receive that instant gratification that only social media allows you to have. Anyhow, I could not leave my blog followers out of the loop, so here are the pictures for your enjoyment.
By the way, I have two good news:
#1 - I was picked as "judge's choice" in the November Daily Paintworks contest!
#2 - "Daring Bromeliad" was accepted to an exhibition at the Limner Gallery in Hudson, NY next February!!!
Yay me!!!

Instagram Obsession & Shameless Advertising
After much resisting due to time constraints and whatnot, I decided to open my very own Instagram account. I am now addicted since I get instant gratification after each post. I can share my artwork with millions of people around the world in a matter of seconds!!!
Best of all, I get to connect with other incredible artists who enrich the planet with their beautiful creations. I was star struck for a moment yesterday, when while playing around with the app I posted my charcoal self portrait and tagged one of my favorite contemporary artists: Jeremy Lipking. Although he probably does this with hundreds of people each day (who knows?!), he actually took the time to look and like my post (as evidenced by the picture above). I startled my husband when I screamed out in happiness and glee to find out that the equivalent of a Hollywood celebrity in my mind had taken the time to look at my self-portrait. Take some time to look at his work, he is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
I invite you to join me in this new and exhilarating quest!
By the way, did you know I am also a graphic artist? I have a blog where I post some of my creations, in case you haven't visited click here.
