Mural time again....

I am so very excited that I am meeting my first mural client in quite some time. I had to turn down several in the recent months b/c of family needs and other work (blah). Either way, I am taking a few moments to do some accents for a nursery and decided today I will begin advertising again for mural and faux work. I am ready to get in there once again. So, if you know anyone who needs a little wall art, let me know! Thanks, friends!

In Between I and II

Attempting to soften my color use and engage new thoughts and ideas of linking my swatches together to create a mass.

Closing my etsy store

Thanks to all those who have kept an eye on my Etsy store but I have decided for many reasons that I will unlist my items and focus on sales through booking shows, art markets, and through my agent. If you are interested in commissions or something you have seen in the past, please contact me or go to www.nicolacollection.com. Thanks!
P.S. I will keep on blogging!

I Want To Know!

Okay guys, I really want to know what you think. I sometimes dive too deeply into my little art space in my brain and become so involved in my latest "focus" that I forget to stop and ask what art followers, friends, and family members think of my work and would like to see more or less of. Please let me know if I should continue to lean in the abstract direction for a while. Are you enjoying the latest complete abstractions? Or should I revisit my figurative works or try to fall somewhere in between (such as the last painting I will post). I will give a few samples of each below. Let me know. Thanks for your feedback!

Inspiration

I have tried so many times to express to my friend, Jessica Torrant,how very thankful I am for her unknowing push for me to jump on the art band wagon after my son, Collin was born. He will be 5 years old on Tuesday and I sometimes cannot believe how far we have all come since his birth. Jessica's encouragement pulled me out of my, what I once believed to be comfortable, suburbia life and into the art world again. I visit her portfolio whenever I get in a funk or sink too deeply into motherhood (now with two beautiful children) and forget where I left off as an artist. Her portfolio is a constant reminder that I can. I really can.


Here are the latest works inspired by Jess. All for sale at www.meghanhenley.etsy.com

Recycling older art!

What a super fun thing to do when I come across old stuff! I have been taking older sketches and paintings while cleaning out my studio and "reworking" them with watercolor pencils and markers. It shows me how far I have come since then and I also see how my style has truly developed since my studies. Very exciting for me!

Aneesah's Art

Hi everyone! Just wanted to point out a new budding artist, Aneesah. She is a friend of mine's daughter. SIX YEARS OLD. Seriously. See how amazing her color usage and choice is as well as her understanding of form and shape. I am still amazed with her work. www.artwanted.com/aneesahsart

Here is a sample.

Thanks all!
