  1. Love your laundry room Marian ! Mines piled high with laundry needing to be done. It would make you crazy I feel sure, lol!! I’ve never understood this home style Saturday’s, being I follow most of the ladies on there. The posts are always just Repeats of their Friday posts.?? I mean why repost the same thing. I’m always excited thinking it’s some new posts, but it’s always repeats. Oh well. I hope you’ve been getting in a little time to paint because I’m anxious to see what you’ve been working on. When you put them up for auction, where do we go online to buy them? I really want one of your little French girl portraits. I sure hope you got good news on your MRI! Does it keep you from being able to paint? I hope all goes well! Enjoy your weekend and Go Patriots! That’s our team. LoL!

    1. Oh, well, I picked a post from a while ago that people may have missed! I think the idea is to share posts from other bloggers that might be new to their readers. Anyway, it’s just a one-time thing for me, so thanks for stopping by to check it out.

  2. Marian, thank you for this posting. You are one of three blogs I read every/almost every day (according to when a new post is up). However, I sometimes like to see what other bloggers are up to. I’m not a regular reader of these blogs that you’ve linked to; I only look at them when you link up. So, this was an enjoyable read, and the articles were all new to me. Thanks!

I’m Marian, a painter, writer, and lover of all things creative. From art and antiques to home projects and everyday life, I share my journey in hopes of inspiring you to embrace your own creativity and make beauty in the spaces you live.

custom cut plywood art panels

When I first started painting with oils, I bought a smattering of substrates to test.  I painted on stretched canvas and linen, canvas and linen panels, oil paper, and gesso board.  Over the years, I learned that I didn’t like the bounce and fragility of stretched canvas and linen.  I
