CHA Animal Shelter & Buddha Girl

What a glorious Friday! The sun is out and I'm in the studio. The renovating is getting to me and making me a little OCD about how things are ascew. I started these two pieces yesterday thinking one would be a donation for a Humane Society auction event and the other would be a journal piece for the 52 project. Whimsical and silly are these....as is the bowling ball cat they show you. Enjoy and more to come!

Good letter day!

Great news today! I was notified that some of my work was accepted into the OH+5 2012 show at the Dairy Barn in Athens, Ohio. This show includes artists from Ohio and the surrounding states. There were 63 pieces chosen for the show out of the 271 submitted. The reception is in January. I'm dying to know which (or how many of) the three pieces I submitted made it. When I know, you'll know.  This was something I needed right now. :) Here is the link to a description of the show.

Currently I'm going back and forth from making holiday gifts for my family and friends and artwork. I'll definitely be busy! I'll post some of them as I get things finished. Taking this leave of absence to improve my health and to be a full time artist is an opportunity I'm very grateful for. Time management & self motivation are things I'm still honing. Having Donovan home is wonderful. I've always been able to create more easily when I know he's home. The goal is to keep up with the journal pieces and start the large pieces that have been milling around in my brain.The walls of our house are starting to be filled with artworks as I continue to create. This weekend I should be posting a few more pieces so keep your eyes open. Have a great Friday tomorrow and try to notice some of the small joys around you!
