New Studio!

Very exciting news!  I just got the keys to my new studio space last week.  It needs some paint and a bit more cleanup but it has tons of potential.  There are multiple sinks, storage and even a dryer vent that I can use to vent my encaustic setup.  It's big enough for workshops which I'm currently planning out, so stay tuned. I'll post some pictures in the next few days too.

Time to get organized

With paintings seemingly coming and going in all directions, I've been working on getting organized. Other than running a 1/2 marathon (very slowly), I spent the weekend photographing, wiring, varnishing, etc.  I have a booth at a show at the Carriage House in Manotick this weekend.  It's kind of an impromptu thing so I hope we get traffic.

In other news, my brand new business cards arrived from Vistaprint today, and they are quite nice.  Just wish I had put my QR code on the back but that's OK.  Oh yes, and I finally put a couple of images on my Imagekind site so I can sell prints more easily.

Here is a recently finished piece.  I think I'll call it "Escape".

Persistent Visitor

My inspiration for this piece was a very persistent oriole that was hanging around the house this summer.  He kept going around to all the wondows and chirping and looking in.
