Quiet Studio Time

Building dapples on a Smittyn


Yesterday was a fairly stressful day. My husband and son are sick and on edge. There is only so much chicken soup and rest a soul can take before they get antsy laying on the couch all day. Well, that is what I am chockin' yesterday's not so stellar day up to. At the very end of the day I sat in my studio chair and enjoyed the alone time, the quiet and the soothing feelings that come along with painting.

I painted everything that was lingering and that included the very last of the Sleepy Little Mice ceramic run. I was slowly trying to come up with some names for them as each one in this run gets a name. Unfortunately, I was drawing a blank. I think my mind just wanted to tune out. When it tunes out, there is no fighting it. I let it tune out and ultimately get the best results in my work.

So, with this in mind I dove right into three stablemates and made lovely progress on the Vixen, Taboo and a Smittyn resin. The Smittyn is for me. I love the black and tan color and am very pleased with this piece and am excited for her big "ta-da" in my china cabinet later this week. I'll need a name for her too. Again, I'm just going blank.

I'll end today with a photo from my garden. Nope, it's not a cherry tomato. Tis' a beef stake! Anyone have the number for Guinness? I think I broke a record here.

Feast for a fairy!


Enjoy your Sunday!

Busy

Workbench shot


I couldn't resist diving into the Vixen resin last night. She sat prepped and primed for so long that it was nice to finally hone in on a color for her. Sometimes its just easier for someone else to choose the color. The palomino color is looking wonderful on her already. I have to say, it was nice to be back at my painting station in the basement.

It was a very busy week family wise and house wise. I started to feel myself going over the edge cause I hadn't really done solid art work in close to a week. After a few days, I go nutty. Then after more days pass without art, I go batty. Once a week rolls around its complete mayhem and I watch myself going over the edge of sanity. I feel much better now and I'm excited to get back down into my basement studio in about an hour or so. First though, lunch!
