Back to Work

September didn't end up like I imagined. 

 The house has been in chaos for the past few weeks. We're putting in a much needed second bathroom (finally!), and for some reason I got the idea that since the house is in crazytown I should add more crazy to it. So I moved the studio downstairs to the family room. Sounds so simple, but I had to take apart all the furniture and because I'm not Wonder Woman, take each small piece down and once it was all there, put it together. I'm tired just telling you about it.

 This also created a whole chain event of moving both my kids rooms around (which means painting their new rooms and of course bribery - a new piece of furniture each ). Two trips to IKEA later, hours of putting everything together and we're almost there. I hope. 
I do not recommend doing this to anyone.
I put together:
2 shelving units,
1 sidetable,
1 desk with 5 drawers,
1 vanity with 2 drawers,
and a cube bookcase
I think I'm done with IKEA for a little while.


Here is one side of the studio space (YES! SPACE!) No more small space talk. I even have room to step back and see my work. Yay!



It seems that I also have had a little time to paint as well.

Audiobooks and Art

I know many artists like to listen to music while they paint but I like to listen to audiobooks. I borrow from the library and its usually great but today I was three quarters through when it expired on me (my fault). When I went back in to borrow it, I had to place a hold. So I'll have to wait a week to find out what happened.  Blue Hydrangea 096 oil on canvas board 8" by 8" Click to Buy   Whenever I look at a painting I can always remember what book I was listening to. In some ways I self title them that way. This one will always be split into two but I got it finished anyway.  Not to advertise but I realize if I don't say it's a cliff hanger -  Sara Gruen - At the Water's Edge (interrupted- don't tell me how it ends) Sara Gruen - Water For Elephants

Painted Daisies

Last Monday I started this painting (I finished it Friday) I had intended to do a serious still life with dark shadows and depth but the daisies were too happy. It became another painting about colour. I guess I've been in a good mood because they've all turned out like it this week. Perhaps, not a bad thing.
