Wow-I planned on posting something at a minimum weekly. After a crazy summer trip with multiple vehicle breakdowns and lack of relaxing plein aire painting I had planned I totally missed the mark.
So time to get back to business. My little pal Allie keeps me company in my studio-of course she'd rather be on a walk-but she's still good company.
During the past couple months I have attempted to consolidate studios back into one studio-that being my home studio. It feels a bit overwhelming at times-but is nice to have everything in one place again! Also no commute, pay for parking, and I learned that I am much more of a solitary artist than I was admitting to myself.
I am working on a new series of encaustics for an upcoming show in December. It is getting close to time for some sneak peeks. The series is a continuation of landscapes and trees. I've having fun with the encaustics, trying to spend from 2-4 hours in the studio on all days that I'm not working at my job with a bigger paycheck. I keep reminding myself that it's what makes you content and whole that is most important-everything in life should not be measured on monetary value scale. Painting is important.
