mmm... i'm drinking freshly brewed hibiscus and peppermint tea and appreciating a cool breeze blowing which is a first in days! i've had some good days off of art, friends, more pie... hugh's just getting better with his craft, and a swashbucklingly fun pirate movie. folks have been asking me what i've been up to art makin' wise and it's hard to say. i've been working on about 10 pieces in a range of sizes simultaneously and cyclically. taking a pause between each to evaluate and get some perspective and then moving on to the next and back again, just like so. they are all works in progress and exploratory right now. i'm letting them have space and room to breathe before school begins again and before pulling together a body of work to apply for my MFA!
here is my studio in all it's jumbledness:

the colors are amazing! (love your studio space!) the crimson and white small study is my fav. there's just something...it's like flowers and lace with string theory images behind it...if that makes any sense.
thank you for sharing!!
