Start of a poppy drawing: stage 1 & 2. How do I procrastinate from tasks needing work? Typically I pull out a completely unrelated art form like knitting scarves, printmaking or something totally different. Yesterday it was drawing with charcoal. Maybe I can partly blame fellow blogger Rosie Scribblah in Wales. I adore herContinue reading “Pulling out the charcoal”

She Protected Them
The She Project rolled into action Friday night. This happened to be perfect, since I’d spent the day outside working in the yard, enjoying all the sunshine and colors. Dave didn’t get home until around 8:30 and by that time it was finished. This year my phrase was “She Protected Them”. This is what IContinue reading “She Protected Them”
What a week! Yikes!
Oh man, what a week! It was filled with drama, beauty, fun and icky stuff and I’m super glad it’s finished! This weeks highlights: Saturday Breakfast: Egg quesadilla with chicken, avocado and tomatillo salsa! Thanks Dave for the yummy creation without cheese! Saturday afternoon I worked for the Arts Center from noon to 5pm. TheContinue reading “What a week! Yikes!”
Dog nose up close
I’ve always struggled with drawing images. In school, I had a teacher hunt me down to turn in my sketchbook at terms end (he was the sculpture teacher and I think he really wanted to see how my brain worked). Sketchbooks become very personal and frankly, I just didn’t want him to have it! SoContinue reading “Dog nose up close”
Artists@Work: Final day images
The final show day was pretty laid back but filled with sparks of excitement. The first spark was due to Julia selling her second work during the exhibit. She was so surprised and honored! Congratulations Julia!!!! I really liked this piece. Our space felt more open, clean and ready for tear down at 5pm. IContinue reading “Artists@Work: Final day images”
Artists@Work: End of our Month
Hard to believe our time is ending. Wednesday will be our final day together as the show wraps up. I have really enjoyed spending so many hours in the Arts Center Studio with Julia, Elaine & Kendal. I’ll save my wrap up thoughts until another entry. Here are the photos of our “studio space” cleanedContinue reading “Artists@Work: End of our Month”
Artists@Work: Day 17
Today was the last Saturday of our exhibit and the Seed Pod workshop. Not knowing how many people would attend the workshop or how to deal with people coming in at different times was hard, but my two helpers did an excellent job! A total of 15 people came to play in paper, including theContinue reading “Artists@Work: Day 17”
Artists@Work: Day 16
Only Saturday, Tuesday & Wednesday left in the show! Friday’s progress: I managed to get out and purchase quite a few rolls of paper before heading into the “studio” and managed to cover over half of the structure. Kind of a ghostly skeleton branch structure. I’m thinking the leaves will remain uncovered for now. ManyContinue reading “Artists@Work: Day 16”
Artists@Work: Day 12 to 14
Rain and grey skies filled this Sunday at the Arts Center. The number of people visiting was certainly diminished from the previous day. I think all of our energy had slipped out the door after Saturday. It would have been a good day to rest. We all had some lovely conversations with people. Friends cameContinue reading “Artists@Work: Day 12 to 14”
Artists@Work: Days 10 & 11
Friday night just got too late to post anything and Saturday morning was filled quickly with heading into work. Day 10: We were treated to a couple of children’s camp events today. It was invention week at the Globetrotter camp and the robots were on parade! Love the flower power robot! Next up, after aContinue reading “Artists@Work: Days 10 & 11”
