Friday's Superstition

A new Friday Superstition is up at the Edible Raven.

Artist Studio

Here's my friend's Susan's studio. It's in an old bean plant factory, which my Dad actually worked at when he was a teenager.

What I love about Susan's studio is it looks like a real working artist studio. Now, don't get me wrong, I love looking at those magazines with the beautiful studios with everything in its perfect place. But I can never imagine me working in one of those. But Susan's studio . . . you just want to roll up your sleeves and make something!

Oh and did I mention it has a bathroom, sink and frig . . . because it does.

You all come back now!

Open Studio

A friend of mine recently rented a studio. She's my hero! It's a wonderful space in an old bean plant building. Thus the name Bean Plant Studio. Lots of bricks and wood and she has her own bathroom. I swear I could just live there!

Anyhoo, the first Friday of the month downtown Greeley,CO opens it's doors. Susan is opening her studio and showing not only her artwork but the artwork of two fellow artists (told you she was my hero).

So if anyone is in the area please drop by . . . I heard there will be treats.

Dragon Sketch

I'm doing a label for a line of fair trade hand roasted organic coffees.

Amazing Origins has a coffee cart inside the Isis bookstore in Denver, CO. If you live in the area you should drop by - both are worth the stop.

This is my preliminary sketch. I'm always hesitate to show people my rough drafts, because they looks so, well . . . rough. But I think you lose something drawing and re-drawing. I like to keep the sketch somewhat loose and go from there.

So here it is for the world to see - my naked little rough sketch. Next I'll put it on watercolor paper and start the inking, then the painting. I'll post the inking stage in a couple of days.

Guess I better get back to work.

International Fairy Day

I just found out today is International Fairy Day. Wish I had known sooner, I would of baked a cake!

Since my birthday is in June I'm doubly excited to find out I share the month with the Fairies.

Summer Solstice

I went to a Summer Solstice Party last night. Well actually is was a Solstice/Decorate-a-Walker Party. A friend is getting a hip replacement and wanted us to decorate her walker . . . and decorate we did!

There was face painting

Fortune Telling (I paid the Seer in chocolate and got a very good future)

Beautiful guitar playing and singing

The queen arrived . . . I think she was pleased

And as I said, decorate the walker we did!!!!
