About Me

My photo
Dee Day
Leander, TX, United States
I have chosen this venue to give myself a strong challenge of posting daily and moving out of my comfort zone. Although I have done my share of painting and mixed media, I have chosen to combine my favorite things and create 6 x 6's with an emphasis on hand lettering, including my original quotes, expressive drawing and stamped geometric forms. My youngest daughter, Alice, is an English teacher and will also be contributing to the project. Enjoy.
