Trying NEW things.....

 Abstracts, darker colors and knitting!  All new territory for me and I intend to take all 3 head on in 2014!  These photos are just a sampling of what I experimenting with....we shall see what music inspires me as these come to their final outcome....da da dun!!! ominous music in the background.

Stretching myself as a person and an artist is something that keeps me motivated.  It's fun to play with new techniques I've learned or just discover while swishing paint around and glueing papers...oh and the knitting.  Well thought that would be fun to learn when my sis in law, Jessica, showed me what she was learning....and I live in cold country know and figured I need some hats, mittens and scarves.  Plus it's art on the go when I can't paint.

The Best Compliment EVER!

My dad and I combined efforts to create a few holiday painitngs.  The snowman was received with holiday merriment from by Facebook peeps.  I had 2 people send me photos of their rendition of our snowman!  What an honor and so thrilled they love my art but more impressed that they each  took the time to enjoy art themselves!

Kathy is an Occupational Therapist in Phx, AZ.  She loves to incorporate art in the kid's therapy.  This was their snowman they did....He is fabulous~very proud to see this.

Kim created this festive guy and then produced gift cards to sell as a fundraiser to help a friend who was unemployed.  How awesome is that~ART heals and helps!  Very proud we spurred your creative side.

BS Collaboration!

My Dad, Bill Fritz, and I combined artistic talents for some Holiday Merriment.  He draws terrific characters and with my whimsy collage these 3 fellows came to life.  We are called our partnership BS Collaboration...(Bill and Sandy) cracks me up...anywho look for more whimsy characters to appear in 2014.

Picasso and Wine

A fun girl's night out!  Even tho I have a studio full of paints, papers and canvas it's fun to go out on the town and paint for fun with friends.  Heather and I ventured into Picasso and Wine in Windsor, CO for some swirling fun.  I have a great time with her and the people around us.  Was really cool to see how we all interpreted the same painting onto OUR canvas...and they serve wine.  How can you go wrong?
