still feeling a little beach-obsessed. who wouldn't be? while walking up the hill this morning bombarded by small icy pebbles. over the weekend and into the week, so far, i have been working madly at the artTable in a …

no. this is not where we stayed. i considered it, but the reviews on tripadvisor were gruesome, so we picked another set of crusty …

i will probably be making more images like this. even though i sometimes snarl about my "small work", i just love doing it. right now it works in my space and with my time. somehow using the recycled photographs …

it was rough getting there, but completely worth it. we tried to avoid the sleet/snow/ice storm last saturday, that was predicted to hit in the morning, but managed to drive right into it. bleh. proceeded slowly to Pawhuska OK, where a photo/nature/overnight stop was …

ok sure. this isn't very holidayish. but i like it a LOT. so there. and though it might seem meaningless imagery for the end of the year ... it is not. even though i have been insanely busy this month, i have been …

this is one of those images that doesn't really mean anything. at least not to the viewer. somehow it makes sense to me, though, and pleases. i am still fairly enamored with my pencam (thank you jim ... *still*). it is the only camera i have picked up this month. i am …

GO pencam! finally it was dry enough to walk to work without watching out for my feet and ice patches and blearyEyes students in SUV's. there was even something resembling sun. so i loaded up the pencam before leaving the house. the pencam was delighted and found some …

it already seems like it is going to look and feel like this forever. deep Winter seems to have arrived *much* too soon and i am wondering where went the pleasantness and energy of beloved Autumn so quickly. the "ice storm" was somewhat of a disappointment, even though …

this snow is so nice, but sliding around on ice is *not*. i was afraid of wearing out my elfBoots too quickly, as i love to wear them so much, but i will never never never wear them again this winter unless it is perfectly dry out. UGH. they are so slippery. but i did …

why i am mostly quiet right now.not just because of working my BUTT off on the directory all weekend, and because the weather is cold and dreary, and i am sort of tired and in that somewhat depressive mode i get in until Jan 1. but because when i checked my bank balance …

lurking behind me this dim rainy morning. a studio with 2 empty and clean tables. not even the jars of paintbrushes and mediums are put back. it is like a blank canvas. rather terrifying. hopefully the fear will be demolished some time today. it *is* a working weekend, …

so i should post another gloomy picture.

the Hertz guy just called and said i needed to come back in and fill out an accident report. huh? i explained to him (again), that there was a mechanical problem, not an accident, and that i felt more comfortable exchanging for …

sort of my mood today? the girls are gone now and the party is over. all of the house is "cleaned up" and "back to normal" today. the hired coach is returned. all of the money is gone. the artTable is spotless and ready for ________. i feel very tired and quite blue. i …

112207

i am not sure why i am sitting around in my nightie and socks, wrapped in a blanket, messing with the final autumn images and writing when i have SO MUCH to do... i guess i am allowed until i finish my coffee! one can't drink coffee and run up and down the basement …

still putting new things in my little ETSY shop every day. they aren't disappearing fast enough! i am not deflated though, i proceed fearlessly and squeal with delight when i get a SOLD email. however, i think i am mostly finished with making these small works. they …

111807

everything is getting done that needs to. i'm still working on it. having a reason to clear out the studio, then put it back together in a couple of weeks feels GREAT. maybe it will be the opportunity to put away the small things and begin work on big. maybe even cloth …

today, back to the grindstone. then home for yet more work. but the kind i love. even though i am quite tired. almost all of the collages i can finish are done, scanned and ready to list on etsy. things are dragging a bit …
