The last few days have left me drained, elated and happy.  I have been busy pouring myself into two 20 X 24 paintings I was hired to paint for the NAMTA show.  I am thankful to work with such great companies that afford me the opportunity to do what I love.  The first painting is…….

I had such a great time making this piece and was actually sad to box it up and send it (ok, not really!).

Painting inspires me in ways I never knew possible.

"Leading with my heart and soul every day…in my work, with my family and my friends. ♥ Took me 43 years to realize that wearing your heart as an accessory is not so bad as long as you are selective with those around you. I know that as an artist this is reflected in my work on a daily basis. Open to new things and seeing what life brings. For that I am grateful." ~Tracy Weinzapfel
