My studio (or at least a segment)

If you missed the memo, Daily Painters is hosting a day of artists showing where they work. I decided to post this area of my studio because it is where I do my small paintings that show on the DP site. The wood "box" you see is a traveling set up another artist made for me in the mid 1980s. It's a slick system and very self contained. The large black box is a still life area (thank you Carol Marine!) What doesn't show? My treadmill, Bowflex, TV, stereo, 3 sewing machines (0ne is industrial for sewing leather) another painting station for large work, two drawing tables, a large work table and a framing set up. Oh yeah, storage for paintings, stretched canvas and two floor to ceiling bookcases plus two adorable cats.

One of the first wonders we encountered when we moved out of the warehouse in the city to our country home was the wonderful sound of frogs. When we landscaped the front yard we put in a pond, hoping to keep them coming. It worked.

It has been an odd day as far as art is concerned. First, Christmas shopping, decorating, baking and wrapping have kept me from my paint. I finally eeked out some time. That was novel in itself. Then, I began posting to my blog. It never asked me to log in. Open season I guess. Anyone could have posted for me. Oh well, I'm just glad to be here. Tomorrow is decorating cookies. Art of sorts.

Let it Snow

No painting this weekend. but lots of snow, paper and real. Making snowflakes is one of my favorite things to do. Hot tea with honey,a fire in the fireplace,a football game on the tv and a stack of white paper and good sharp scissors is my idea of a nice winter sunday afternoon :-)

Frostbite

6x6" oil on masonite sold
This is a portrait of a lucky cat. He was frozen - seriously. He was frozen and his current owner saw him,thought he was a stuffed animal but then noticed him move slightly so he took him home and literally thawed him out and saved his life! Now, a little rough around the edges,getting on in years but otherwise fine. We thought he deserved a portrait....oh and his name is "Frostbite"

Two Turtle Doves

6x6" oil on masonite
I love vintage cards and have a bunch. Recently my mother gave me a few more and one little cutie inspired this painting. I had big dreams of doing a different painting of the Twelve Days of Christmas. Two Turtle Doves might be as far as I get. I pretty much crossed this project right off my holiday 2do list...what was I thinking???

Reflecting

6x6" oil on masonite

I paint this alot - people -actually girls mostly- staring out at the ocean. While painting, I was thinking about that and decided that I'm drawn to this kind of image because 1. its familiar, 2. when creating you tap into your 'inner child' - well at least you should, in my opinion- so in a way I am painting myself. Does that make any sense? dont know. but the artist I am now is in many ways the child I was. and 3. just dang fun to paint :-)

So I guess take a second to reflect on yourself as a kid, what did you like to do? Do you do any of those things anymore? You should...take yourself on a playdate.

"Teamwork" daily painting,beach scene

6x6" oil on masonite sold

Usually I dont like to say if I like a painting or not but this one I do like, maybe because watching kids create stuff at the beach is the best...give 'em some sand,water and a shovel and its amazing what they can do, often working together to make incredibly creative things...its great.
***ALSO***, if you are in the Peterborough NH area...actually Antrim NH, My good friend Heidi Schwieger is directing the Antrim Players production of A Christmas Carol. It opens tonight and her daughter Sophia is part of the cast too. Wish I could be there! So if you're nearby check it out and give them a big 'break a leg' hug for me.
Have a good weekend all!
