I have been working on images for our website lately and it seems

I am going off  on some crazy tangents.

   I am rediscovering how fun and challenging it is to paint with

watercolors again.

Here are some great pictures from our  "tester" Eye Opening Workshop on 

October 27th 

Eye opening workshops blend inspirational and strategic

exercises with a “ hands on” creative art project,

held at dynamic off-site or on-site facilities.

Intensive, fast paced, energizing encounters are led by

two professionals from diverse art and marketing

back-grounds. Custom designed exercises and

“Eye Opener” stations utilize different cognitive

tools and stimuli to help drive fresh ideas and creative

problem solving.

Faye getting inspiration from the "synchronicity" exercise.

“The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind…creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers and meaning makers.”

Not everyone is in their “right mind” ;

That is why we created Open Eye Art.

Whether we are right- brained, left-brained, type A, type B,

amateur or expert…everyone has an ability to be creative.

Sometimes we just need a little help bringing the right brain back

into balance with the left so that we can open our eyes to

our own creativity.

I am finally settling down to price, title and frame my 28 Nautical 

chart pieces.

Many of the Pacific Coast Charts I used for these pieces were in 

the collection of Don Ritz .  Many were actually on his sailboat for

many years.

Here are a few big eyed  "eye-dias" I have been working on for 

                   a project for OPEN EYE ART.  I had so much fun doing these 

   studies in watercolor.

I would love to experiment with an ETSY store just 

to see if there is a market for

prints .
