Do you know this artist? Verna Vogel

I've woken up the last few days thinking about the artist Verna
Vogel
. She has a great presence on Instagram, and works constantly.
One image she posted recently was of a stack of small canvasses
prepped, and painted in different colours waiting for paintings,
and seeing that made me think, "I've got to get at it."

We need that don't we? Plus Verna is completely original. She's
an abstract artist in the main, and her work is fantastic.  I 
decided to write about her tonight, because if you don't know her 
work, you will want to.

We actually met at least once for a two introverts tea at the train
station. And I would love to meet her again. (Did we meet twice
Verna? I don't think so.) She lives way out west but has family in
Ontario.  So check out her work. She inspires me, and will
probably have the same effect on you.

Have a loving your life day.

Barbara, thank you so much!!!

Gives me a warm feeling to think what I am doing can inspire others.
I have to let you know, though: I don't actually work constantly! I just look around constatntly, trying to see visual relationships everywhere, because that is what excites my eyes and my heart - and then post some of the things I notice. :)

Yes, we met once - but we sat in two different areas of the train station, so it felt like twice, in the best way!

I love your work, and your thoughts on this blog.
