New Studio

Well I finally have my studio and computer set up in a room all to myself!!!!! It's not totally together yet, but I'll be painting and creating by this weekend. I can lock the kitties out when I need to concentrate and have open paint sitting out. I'll post some photos this weekend. I'll actually be able to stand up and paint and have all my photo stuff out at the same time. Can't wait to dig in!

Sea Glass Festival

The Sea Glass Festival in Santa Cruz was a huge success. We did so much better than we could have imagined! So we signed up for another festival in Southern California at the Thousand Oaks Street Fair. They had a few opening and we had inventory left, so we will be there on Sunday, October 21, 2007. I have to make about 300 notecards this week for the event-no big deal! Except I bought the wrong size notecards and have to go get the right size today. I've been having computer issues at home recently and haven't been able to post. Once I'm back from this next festival, I'll concentrate on the computer issues and update daily!

I'm going to try and host a few more shows at my house before Christmas. Stay tuned for more info on those. I'm also setting up a dedicated studio in one of the downstairs bedrooms. It will be nice to spread out and leave things up that my kitties won't walk across and knock off the table.

Record number of paintings

I worked on 14 paintings this weekend! About half were things I put finishing touches on or changed and I put 7 new ones together. I cranked up the Vilvadi and painted from 6 am to 5:30 pm on Saturday. I have to say I was in the zone. I have enough paintings for my show in October. Now I'll work on the photographs and notecards. The problem is I went to Blick's Art store yesterday and they were having a 70% off sale if you bought 20 canvases or more. So how could I resist? I spent a $100 and saved $170. How cool is that? So I'll have to ward off the temptation to fill them all up so I can finish my other projects.
