taking cues from the cat
today's painting: nylo
getting back into the swing of things after the holidays at a slower speed than i thought:)
it's been all administrative whatnot around here and not too interesting in terms of sharing on the blog.
4th Q taxes filed...check
studio tidied...check
house put back in order...check
oh, and it's been freaking COLD here which always makes me move slower than molasses.
it's my feeling that january is a good month to recover from the awesomely crazy holiday season which has been my busiest time of year of late; to make production and exhibition plans for the upcoming months; to source and gather materials for new ideas; and to enjoy a little slower pace of things-i'm going to take my cues from the cats and trees.
all that said, i have been working on some commissions the last week or so and have finished 3 so far. have a couple more in the works and i'll be posting them here as i get them done.

sassy, taxes, and getting organized...
today's painting:
this is the other sassy painting.
i like this little gal.
i have decided to make a canopic jar for my little myrtle's remains. actually, it is technically not a conopic jar as these were used to hold organs, which is gross, but i like that word better than urn. i love egyptian art and so i thought this would be most appropriate. here are some beauties:
myrtle's will be made of clay.
on a more administrative note, i spent the last 2 days working on my 4th quarter taxes. what fun! but now that that is done, i can concentrate on my.....
GOALS for 2013! -for the blog; monday-fridays, weekends optional:)
(this is a working list)
1. make art everyday
2. post everyday
3. monthly studio projects updates
4. weekly studio projects updates
5. a photo a day
oh, and
6. finish and publish website
7. stock etsy shop
8. have a thriving veggie garden!
does that seem ambitious? well nothing can beat doing a painting a day, but i just couldn't do the same thing again. seriously. but i am not abandoning the project all together. i will continue the small scale paintings a post them as i do. perhaps one a week, perhaps more. but i am interested in some new bodies of work i've been kickin' around and am planning 2 art shows outside of arkansas this year. plus i MUST revisit clay which took a MAJOR back seat last year. i'm super excited to get started!
this weekend i'm gonna firm up my plan and then hit the ground running on monday! yay!
happy friday everyone!

myrtle, magic kitty, sweet friend, truest companion, most inspiring muse
my sweet little cat myrtle died on saturday morning. i knew her from the time she was born, right after i moved to little rock. she was 15 1/2 years old and a sweet little angel soul and muse and inspiration. she had all the colors on her coat in very light stripes and her face was split in the middle, gray and orange. she was full of magic. right after she was gone, our electricity came on - 5 days after being off from the big ice/snow storm on christmas day. i miss my little myr myr, my little bug.

today's painting:
well we still don't have electricity and what we've heard is it could be the new year before we do. bummer. but i'm hoping that they get it fixed before. there are so many lines down in my neighborhood, i'm not so sure.....
it was 46 degrees in the house when i woke up, but we have lots of down duvets so we were toasty while sleeping, and having 2 kitties on top helps! we also have friends with power and were house hopping the last few days. i'm writing this from my neighborhood starbucks and it is raining outside which seems a little bleak. i hope it doesn't start to freeze again.
i havent been too inspired to paint the last days as it is so cold in my studio and with no light, i've just had to roll with it. sigh.
today's painting is one of the commissions i was working on for a client for christmas. i'll continue to post the others the next few days just to keep the project going till the end of the year.

bebe in santa's hat
today's painting:
i'm back!
it was a crazy busy week and the studio show with jeri warlick was huge fun! so many friends and some new folks, too. we had the lovely rena wren play some superb live music (which was a first for us and was awesome!) AND a dear friend from dallas drove up and i had not seen her in almost 13 years!!! a magical evening:)
i want to post pics but i seriously always forget to even take any-which is odd. but i can still get some of the set up as it is:)
it was an intense amount of work though, moving out furniture and rearranging my little house to make space for art and people. thanks so much to everyone who came out to support our work! my portion of the pop up is still set up and will be for a little while for some last minute shoppers who want to msg me and come by.
i am back to my daily paintings, too, and will finish out the year! i can't believe it's almost been a YEAR!!!!!
