My display at <Elements Gallery Whew. My workload is drastically less until mid-August now. This is what makes the craziness of spring worth it. Hopefully I will now have the time and energy to write and make art for the next several months. In less than one week, Sandy and I leave on our excellent…

So, let me get the whining over with. It has to be done, I’m afraid, but enough time has passed that I found some upsides. The workshop with India Flint was canceled, and I was devastated at first – actually cried for a hour at work. Fortunately I did not book my flight, because I…

I figure that I really have no excuse not to do a coffee pot post this morning, with this lovely rain, so I made another pot. I don’t like whining on the blog so much and I hate looking back on my posts and seeing negativity. On the other hand, this is my journal and…

There is a light rain outside that I’m happy about, because it will keep me inside where I need to knock out the taxes. We need money to bolster the Irish economy in May! This was my last really heavy duty work week for a while. Now it will be a more normal load, as…

Yesterday was so peaceful. I painted lovely mindless color-washed pages for blank journals – a page for just about any mood, including a few stormy ones.

I’m drinking my little pot of coffee kind of late this morning, but I have already taken Theo to the vet for a bit of maintenance on his back side and taken my car to the carwash. I actually had to wash my car in order to drive it to the carwash – it was…

So, things are going fairly well. I sold three scarves, a few books, and a few prints at the gallery in the past two months. I’m going to renew my contract for May 2012-13 but rent a smaller space, since I really didn’t need three shelves of space this year. If my sales get a…

A very special Christmas – Santa came early and brought me Left Hand 2.0! I really feel good about this surgery. The last time I had surgery it was on my right wrist and I had to have a surprise cartilage graft which took a long time to heal and put me out of work…

I just bought a wonderful book by Jill Berry titled Personal Geographies. I have always been fascinated with maps, as long as I can remember, really. The World Book Encyclopedia was my playground, and the maps were my very favorite parts. I made up different map games to amuse myself. I pick up maps everywhere…
