It's about time to get back to the art studio and begin blogging again. Too much time has gone towards outside commitments. The focus for my art blog will be to share updates on my current art projects and sharing of my Catholic faith with a focus on family, fitness, nutrition and art. I do not live the various aspects of my life in isolation of each other. All of me is integrated into every area of my life. So if you'd like to follow me on this journey, then I welcome you aboard! God bless! <div><br /></div><div>Christine</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7396118654580958316-8791557198788225457?l=christinedionstudio.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christine E.

Mostly with my teaching art as well as my fitness career....but those are other blogs! I am photographing more and more and using many of the photos as references....but some are perfect for photos on their own. So this is one of a hydrangea from my perennial beds. I will be posting many more over the coming weeks. I am currently working on a series of 5" x 5" colored pencil paintings which will be framed in gorgeous wood frames and sold on eBay.....more on that to come!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7396118654580958316-840937727769712549?l=christinedionstudio.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christine E.
