Monday in General Art Advice – Sandrine Pelissier will attempt to answer the age-old question that every artist will face at some point. . . “What to paint when you’re drawing a blank?” Drop in tomorrow for that, and get inspired!

Tuesday in Featured Artists – This week we’ll be showcasing Kellie Day, a Colorado mixed-media artist who creates wonderfully colorful, quirky collages. As always, if you’d like to be featured on EE, send us your art via our artwork submission form .
