A quick note
Erica2013-12-29T13:04:48-05:00Sshhh I'm really not here. I'm still enjoying sleep-in's and lazy days (hmm which also includes cleaning the studio and the print room for some reason)... I'm just reminding you that the first Cocktails & Canvases is this Saturday at 1-4 pm in Reston, Virginia. I'd love to have you!  We'll laugh, sing-a-long  and most importantly paint! paint! paint!  So come over and paint away the holiday season and enter the New Year with color!

Teaching my many 'Cocktails and Canvases' groups over [...]

Best of 2013
Erica2015-11-04T15:34:16-05:00It’s funny how we so quickly forget everything we managed to pack into a year. I ran through the best of 2012 and best of 2012: bridal bouquets (with the best of intentions to do a best of 2012: pet portraits that apparently fell to the way side)… now let’s see what 2013 had in store: A New Website! 2013 many big changes, including a new (professionally built) website with built-in e-commerce which allows me to host my own shop and accept [...]
