I wanted to give you something pretty to say thank you for your interest and support of my art career, so I decided to make a beautiful 2017 monthly calendar that you can print at home. Download PDF of the Rasche art calendar here.
I hope you enjoy it!
(If you’d rather purchase one that’s already printed, let me know and I’ll find a good print service to get that done…)
Hello art enthusiasts, here is the completed painting of our lovely local dry cleaner (detail below). I’ve been breaking one of the cardinal rules of blogging – taking a long break from posting. Thanks for hanging in there with me!
I’ve been refueling the creative juices. Do you do that as well? Since my last posting I’ve taken hundreds of source photos, and am excited about so many different painting ideas. I’m planning to continue with the local landscapes, heavy on landscapes with animals and people in them. If you have any requests, I’d love to hear them.
On a personal note, here’s what I’ve been up to: had lots of summer fun with our 8 year old son (right now he’s programming his minecraft turtle), made a big garden, stained our porch, soul searched and researched about our son’s education next year, house-trained and dealt with lots of medical issues with our new 100% awesome from-the-pound dog. What have you been up to this summer?

The mystery flowers outside my window. Oil on board, 6″ x 6″.
Two people quitly paddling a canoe. This one got away from me, but it helped me remember some of the things I’m trying to accomplish. 6×6, oil on wood.
It’s my birthday today; this morning we went for a nice little drive, and now I’m sipping an iced vanilla latte and painting. 🙂

Hi All,
Me and the baby in the park. I really love this sentimental little scene. Oil on wood, 6×6.
The kids next door were jumping on their trampoline and laughing when I started this. It was nice.
