Thank you to ArtResin for making such a great product! I am loving how easy it is to use and the effects that I am getting from resin. This piece is about layers made with graphite, paint and resin.

One of my favorite things to witness while in Alaska and on Katmai was the grizzly stand. I can tell you, because I walked next to them, that they are extremely beautiful with wild in their eyes. They are also massive creatures and so very intimidating, especially when they stand tall.

Join us this FRIDAY for the Cars & Dogs Artist Reception We look forward to seeing you there!

"I enjoy painting so much and a big part of the enjoyment for me is being able to enhance and touch peoples lives through my work. Please read the heartfelt message below that I received, and thank you Carol for this wonderful letter and for inspiring me to keep painting." ~April

Howland Studios has just returned from a two week trip through South Africa, while there our party was lucky enough to visit Kruger National Park. Kruger is famous for its wild animal preserves and photo safari adventures. During our time in the park we made many new friends and were invited to visit the Lillydale Community. This tiny community is nestled in the bush just outside of the Sabi Sands Game Reserve. One of our new friends and ranger on safari was named Lennox. He has a special connection to the Lillydale Community and is very much involved with the sustainability projects that &Beyond, a company that owns many safari lodges in Africa, has put together.
