From Diane:
This is my first written writing blog ever. Yeah!
I am a multi-media artist and art educator. In my paintings I try to capture the spaces between speech and silence in a narrative way through play-filled whimsical settings. For the past 12 years I have been painting full time and show my work nationally.
I also love to teach! I have taught at Seattle Pacific University, Bellevue School District, Eton Montessori, Kirkland Art Center, Pratt Arts, and the Bellevue Art Museum. In the summers I run an art school for children “Go Go with Van Gogh.”
I live in West Seattle and my studio is in Ballard, WA. When I am not in the studio you can find me biking or hiking. I have been blessed with two beautiful daughters who are outdoor enthusiasts living in Hood River, OR.
I wanted to announce my 2nd online class:
“TableTop” Still Life: Drawing and Painting
via www.carlasonheim.com – offered starting November 11th.
Yeah for Traditional Still Life painting from artists that came before us
to record an event that happens daily —
gathering loved ones to share in a meal and intimacy.
Make your moments concrete in your world
by recording them in drawings and building skills that grow into paintings.
See * Explore * Experience * Color * Create
Today is your day to rise up
& participate in with a community of incredible people
that come out and “play” together – Delightfully being more for you.
See you online & contact me any time (diane@culhaneart.com).

Today was fun. Went to the zoo with Sandra M., one of the participants in The Year of the Giraffe class and saw, among other animals, the new baby giraffe!
Then I had lunch with the delightful Liesel Lund. And when I got to the office, I took a little time to paint.
A perfect day!

These two watercolors were created last Friday from a live model; she was wearing a long red dress and a crocheted shawl. It was in the abstraction class I took with Peter Millet; loved the class!

This is one of those pieces that looks better to me scanned and online than it does in person! Watercolor, marker, pencil, white ink, on paper.
