I just finished up writing the blog that goes live tomorrow. Every week I keep getting later and later. On one hand it seems silly to try and keep up a regular posting schedule for my art blog but on the other hand, I really value people who are writing and making things right now. #ArtBlogging

I Made Pointillism with Bingo Daubers And I kind of liked it...

Teaching our rag-tag group of kids art has its fun moments where I get to play with paint too...

Sometimes I Feel Like I'm Living in My Great-Grandfather's Shadow. I'm working on finding my own light.

I look up to and compare myself to my great grandfather who was an accomplished artist.

I feel I get lost in his shadow, I'm working on finding my own light...

A shot of my very wide sketchbook open to a page with nesting squares drawn in pencil and then each layer of square is painted. The whole palette is muted rainbow.

On my blog this week I’m talking about renewing some foundational practices that got lost over the past year.

The process for "Deconstructed Seascape" - Misty Granade I'm trying to learn to think in terms of working deliberately instead of slowly. I'm not sure I'm successful with that process yet.

I’ve been working on “Deconstructed Seascape” for a few months and here’s the post where I talk about it: misty.granades.com/2025/06/10/t...

Deconstructed Seascape. A crocheted canvas background that was dyed in tea. There are smaller pieces of crochet that represent sky, sea, sand, shells, netting, and seaweed. There’s a giant rust colored tassel hanging from the bottom and small watercolor circles on the right. There’s a larger yellow and rust watercolor orb on the lower left.

I’ve got a post up on my blog today talking about the making of this piece! Go read it here: misty.granades.com/2025/06/10/t...
