I got a break from dog walking/care today. My husband took Moby out for a huge walk at Peavy. Sunshine and beautiful blue sky, though it’s not super warm. This break allowed me to stay home and work through a few colors on the next screen print. Not feeling the love on color 3, butContinue reading “Sunday colors”

New print start
Finally, a new print started! Below is a photo of the white screen with the initial dose of screen filler. Voila! Color! The first color down and it’s certainly peachy. We shall see how the colors shift in this image (I’m not certain at the moment which is the fun part). You can probably tellContinue reading “New print start”
Mystery Screen: color 4
It’s not much of a mystery any more. Yes, this color certainly brought out the “dog” in the print. I’ve been having fun working with the same container of ink but just altering the values as I go. Add a little more blue, more red, more extender and there ya go. Mr “Counter Surfer” extraordinaireContinue reading “Mystery Screen: color 4”
Discovering Lost Blocks
April is looming! Especially since I have a 2 person show of dog prints and my print portfolio hasn’t increased much over the past year. You may think that’s months away, right? Well, I don’t work quickly on prints when my brain is taxed with other events. To help clear mental cobwebs, I spent aContinue reading “Discovering Lost Blocks”
Protecting the house
For some reason, I happen to be the owner of a crazy freak dog who is determined to keep my attention at all cost. If I happen to ignore him, he runs around the house and gets into trouble. This means I stop what I’m doing, run after him and yank whatever he’s acquired outContinue reading “Protecting the house”
Check list
Whew, this has been a full day. Here were some of the things checked off my list: New project completed and delivered! Positive comments flowed from some of the exhibition committee members packing up the plankton show. No completed photos yet. I’ll take some once the show opens. A little time away from the pieceContinue reading “Check list”
Happy May Day!
As a child, May Day was always special. My mother helped me cut flowers & assemble little cone baskets to deliver to the neighbors. After assembly, I ran up to our neighbors homes, hung the baskets on the door, rang the bell and ran away! Today, the lilacs are blooming and I’ve assembled a coneContinue reading “Happy May Day!”
Monday discoveries
Why is it when Dave leaves, the dog gets crazy? Currently, he’s off in India jumping between Goa & Chennai for the next week. There is one other place but I can’t recall where. Somewhere south of Chennai. I’m at home jumping through dog hoops, trying to keep the crazy boy out of trouble whileContinue reading “Monday discoveries”
Redirecting daily routines
First off, we did put George down on Monday night. I was horribly sad but relieved to let him go from his failing body. The household feels void of a certain energy now. So much extra care has always enveloped our senior dogs that it’s taking a bit of time to readjust. Moby and IContinue reading “Redirecting daily routines”
Hanging on by his paws
This past week has been filled with ups and downs, but feeling rather heavy on the down side. George is still hanging on but we’re not certain for how much longer. Today, Sunday, he actually has been a little more “normal” if you can call it that. He’s probably considered to be in heart failure.Continue reading “Hanging on by his paws”
