Re-dedicating to Art, and my journey of 1,000 cranes…

Posted on December 20, 2013 by vlasicstudio

December 20th, 2013. Looking back at my calendar, I realize that, horror of horrors, I have not painted in over two months. How did this happen? It would be easy to say that I’ve just been too busy. That I’ve … Continue reading →

Snow Already?

Posted on October 7, 2012 by vlasicstudio

October 5th, snow. Already? It always seems to hit too soon. I admit I’m never really ready for it. We go from shorts and sandals to boots and jackets in a matter of days here, it’s a bit unsettling, even … Continue reading →
