The studio

I just spent the last two weeks cleaning up the garage and organizing the space as my new studio. As you can see I'm already accumulating STUFF. Once a pack rat always a pack rat. I like to think of all of it as art supplies.

I'm happy to say that I'm already making use of the space. I haven't slept much but I'm not complaining. I'm also helping a mom from one of Explorer's fifth grade class with a class project. It's a collage of students portraits that will be auctioned for their fundraising event " Art from the Heart". It's a wonderful event for a good cause.

On the wall are a few of the paintings I'm working on, I hope to do a series of 20" x 20"paintings and a larger piece for a future show. It's an idea of using the size to represent the 20/20 hindsight theory seeing the "bigger picture". It's very simplistic and that's the idea. Is it too much?

Wild Thing

I just love all the wild flowers popping up all over.

Happy Easter

My daughter, niece and nephews taking a break from swimming to hunt for Easter eggs...only in Southern California.

Happy Easter to all.

A beautiful day in paradise

My husband and I had to meet some people at our property to find out what we can and can't do about rebuilding. It was such a beautiful day I had to get my camera out to take some pictures especially since I can hear the waterfall from the pond right below the pad.

Setting Up a New Studio

It's a new day and I think I'm ready to start working again. My Paris trip has really inpired me. I've had so many ideas floating in my head but I just didn't have the time to do anything about them.

First thing first...I'm going to need a space to work. Since we are renting right now I'll have to use the garage and I will still have to be very careful.

Better go I have to clearing up to do. There's boxes everywhere (future project - I'll post about it later)
