About Me

Orange County, Califronia, United States
Welcome to my blog- The Painted Canvas! I love color and I love to paint! I grew up in Massachusetts and have been in California going on 16 years. The down side of moving here was leaving family and friends. The upside was I got back into painting. I'm lucky to be able to paint daily. This blog is a way of journeling my progress. Please feel free to leave a comment about my works. email me at thepaintedcanvas@cox.net
