Sketches both unleash my creativity and support my spiritual life. I bring a sense of non-judgement to sketching. That fresh, casual attitude comes through in this newest work.
For the last month I've been finishing small paintings every day. I started by working through my inventory finishing a number of oil paintings and getting rid of some that will never work. I also went back to doing watercolor sketches. They are a fun way to warm up my artistic brain and capture my first impression of a subject.

The first day I did a tree. The next, a pinecone. The heat wave we've had this week inspired some seashell paintings. It's been like unleashing a dam! I've done an average of two paintings a day for the last week. They've been consistent in theme and look and are ready for sale.

I love these sketches and have gotten enthusiastic responses from friends, family and collectors. I know many of you have wanted to purchase some of my work but have not made the investment in a large piece. This makes it easy. Check it out!

The name I'm considering is MarygailkingSketchbook. Including my name should make it fairly easy to find. I come up high on Google and Bing searches with it. At the moment all I have to do is make sure the photography is good and calculate shipping costs. Once I finish that I will be up and running by early next week. (Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest) In the meantime be sure to contact me if you like one of these or have seen something you like on my FB page. I'll need lots of support getting the word out so I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, you can "like" my FB page to stay up with the latest news. Mary-Gail's Facebook page
