My name is Shannon Bauer. I was born in Michigan and now live right outside of Cincinnati, OH. I've always had an interest in art and loved to draw and paint as a child, but I took my first formal painting class when I was in college as an art major with a graphic design concentration. I've kept at it ever since. It seems to be the most effective way for me to clear my thoughts. (And now I just can't seem to stop...) Thanks for stopping by!

Hillside View
6x6 acrylic on canvas panel
I'd like to always have a loose painting style, but of course I don't always achieve it. A lot of times I feel that I've overworked something and feel frustrated. Today I was feeling that way and then I moved my brush to my left hand for awhile. I admit I didn't stick with it for the whole painting, but I really think some of the best strokes came from my non-dominant hand. I'll definitely have to try this again.

Looming
8x10 acrylic on canvas panel
After several days of painting struggles, I finally decided to try another seascape. I like the way the clouds came out on this one. In other news, I received Carol Marine's new book today and I'm really excited to look through it for some needed inspiration and tips!
