New blog post on my website (nancyhillis). Exploring color secrets of the pros that you can experiment with in your own paintings. 🎨😘❤️ (at Santa Cruz, California)

I love seeing the drips of paint and working on a big board placed on a heavy duty Klopfenstein easel. 😘🎨 (at Santa Cruz, California)

I was using such big gestural movements on this piece that paint was sometimes flying around the studio. 🎨😘🎥🎬My filmmaker, Sidharta Pascual used my old lab coat to protect himself! The things we do for art! 🎨🎞 (at Santa Cruz, California)

Six quick studies is one of my favorite exploratory exercises in the studio. (at Santa Cruz, California)

There's something magical about creating painting 'starts' that fascinates and keeps me coming back for more. Perhaps it's the freshness, the simplicity, the potential that beckons...to keep exploring and experimenting...perhaps it's the invitation to keep stepping into the mystery of creating. I'd love to hear your thoughts. 🎨😘 (at Santa Cruz, California)

Another cover we're considering for Bold Strokes. I love working with cover designer Olga Grlic in New York. 📚🖋✏️🎨😘 (at Santa Cruz, California)

Experiencing a light hearted moment with my wonderful filmmaker Sidharta Pascual. Sidharta showed up like a bluebird in my life. He came from New York to Santa Cruz. An incredibly gifted cinematographer and visionary. Here we are...collaborating. How wondrous it is to connect with an artist!🎞🎥🎬🎨 (at Santa Cruz, California)

Recent work in the studio. Exploring complementary color, line, space. This is a painting demo recently filmed🎥🎬🎞 by Sidharta Pascual. Check out my free video workshop on Bringing Structure Into An Abstract Painting. Go to link in bio 👆. (at Santa Cruz, California)

More filming with the gifted filmmaker, Sidharta Pascual. So fortunate for me that he moved to Santa Cruz from New York! 🎥🎬🎞😘🎨 (at Santa Cruz, California)

One possibility for the cover of my forthcoming book....will be showing you more soon. I'm so excited! It's quite a process to write and publish a book! 🗃📚🖋✏️🎨👩‍🎨😘 (at Santa Cruz, California)
