I love the sound of rain.
I'm sitting curled up with a book " The Business of Being an Artists"

Wondering if I can keep up with being open every 4 th Friday.
It will keep me on my toes .

On another note, hahaha......music classes at Crosby Elementary have been so much fun. I'm sad that the end is sight. The kids have brought so much joy in my life.
Time to paint .........finish this semesters visiting artists program.
Maybe I can get in some Plein Air in.
All the back animation projects sitting in boxes, and in my head.
Never a dull moment for this ADD mind.
Enjoy your time,
May you be well , happy and peaceful
Back to my book and the rain.

Up early this Sunday morning, looking for a fresh start to the week.
I took a long term sub position in music , don't worry K-3, along with guidance from the other music teacher. We are preparing the 2 nd grade for their spring program, what fun to put on a different hat .
This affords me the time and $ to set up my studio. I saved enough to treat my self to a new easel along with a few odds and ends. On my list is appropriate lighting, ventilation and a large roll of linen.
Lighting is another large expense. I'm very lucky to have a handy husband who loves to tinker and research. And the search begins.
Any thoughts?
Well..... Mom is doing well , we celebrated 97 a few weeks ago, we look forward to our visits. She is looking forward to seeing more paintings, it will happen soon . I have a long weekend coming up which I plan to snag a few days for myself , now that they are finished sandblasting the other studios. ( I'm still cleaning up) unfortunately my walls are not as pristine as I would like. I will need to repaint in spring. (ugh).
I used a feather duster duck taped to a extendable painting stick to dust the fine sand from the walls, shaking it out the window every couple of wipes. Reminding you that it is 3 or 4 degrees, maybe 11 when I opened the window. Yep! Cold!
Hopefully I can get in before the long weekend to gesso , if not , perfect time to experiment with the clear grasped linen I bought( for half price) not real happy with the support, a frame will help along with a key or two.
Please , pray , send well wishes peacefulness and Heath to my family especially my 17 year old.
Keep us close in your hearts.
