Extra Day

Friday, July 5, 2013

My workplace closed today, giving me an extra vacation day. I certainly need it, to recover from yesterday’s party which was great fun, but tiring. Katie had the time of her life. Also, the pear tree that I’ve been following has mini pears on it!

The sound of the bells reminds me of my Yiayia and Papou’s house.

Refocus on Drawing and Sketching

Sunday, June 2, 2013

I’ve been putting off my artwork lately, mainly because I am too tired at the end of the day to do anything. The general lack of energy is bothering me, so I am focusing on improving my nutrition in general. Also, I have decided to pare down my immediate art goals. This month I am […]

Watercolors and Wine

Saturday, May 25, 2013

Last week my sister and I had the opportunity to take an afternoon watercolor class taught by artist Kara K. Bigda. It was held at the Hardwick Winery and the class was combined with a wine tasting. I had a great time and it was also a fun day with my sister (going out for […]

Art for the Arts Show

Sunday, April 28, 2013

Yesterday I had my two pieces, A Mild Winter and Blue Green Waters in the Art for the Arts Show presented by the Auburn MA Cultural Council. I have never displayed my work in a public forum before, so this was a big step for me on a personal level. I was offering them for […]

Creative Rhythms

Monday, April 1, 2013

March was a slow month for me in terms of output, although I feel like I’ve made progress in other ways. The other night I just happened to pick up my two framed paintings at the same time that the shop owner was holding an artist critique group in the store. I joined in and […]

Taking care

Sunday, March 10, 2013

I’ve been sick deathly ill for over three weeks now with a bad head cold and now a sore throat, ear and jaw pain that won’t go away. I am hoping that the antibiotics I am taking start to kick in. Unfortunately, my art progress has stood at a standstill except for a few sketches […]

Treasures

Friday, February 8, 2013

A lamp and a small dish, some items that I rescued from Yiayia and Papou’s house, now on my bedside table. The penny is from 1895 and I keep it just because I like having something so old.

Since turning thirty

Sunday, February 3, 2013

Last December when I was doing my year end review, I found myself thinking about how I have changed over the years, especially in my style preferences. I turned thirty this past year, so I thought it would be a good time to reflect on some of the changes. I’m more confident in my preferences. […]
