Well I came to work today only to discover a bird was in the hallway of the Blue Door Art space. I don’t know if he flew in with me or had been there all night. I have spent the last three hours trying to get him out – with no avail. I can’t remember [...]

My vacation –
I have mentioned it before, but I am getting very excited about my trip to Asheville, NC. We arrive on Thursday and stay until Monday. And I am a very good vacation planner. I have mapped out all the best galleries to see, all the best restaurants to visit, advance tickets to the Biltmore, shopping, [...]

Twitch & Strain
Now I remember why I did not pursue a job in the graphic design area: Headaches and crossed eyes (eye strain) due to too much computer use. I enjoy doing freelance design from time to time – but I can be so anal and meticulous when it comes to even the most trivial items, like [...]

The Art Business End of Things, NEW Website, and Vespa Fund
I have not really had any “inspiration of the day” to post about – mainly because I have felt really uninspired in the creative/painting department lately. Also, my studio stinks – literally: The carpets in our hallway/community space were cleaned last week and instead of smelling fresh and clean – the whole place reeks now. My keen [...]

Inspiration July 9, 2008
I have an Anhinga that frequently hangs out on the dead tree behind my house. Her name is Annie. We normally see her boyfriend Arnie – but she must have dumped him because I have not seen them together in quite some time. Anhingas are one of my favoriate birds because they are unique: They are wonderful divers and [...]

I have been trying to work on this new website for what seems like for days – and I am still only about 1/3 of the way through uploading and labeling images. I can’t believe how much art I have.
My eyes are crossing.

Cloud Study & Twang Twang Shock-a-Boom
My studio has been absolutely horrific these past few weeks – and I was getting to the point where I could not find anything, constantly tripping over things, spilling things, etc. So it was time to clean – or clear a path at least. I have Adult ADD and I never can seem to complete anything [...]

Inspiration of the Day 7-4-08
A Julio Iglesias Rose from my garden. I have a few rose bushes but this one is my absolute favorite. I loving having flowers all over the house. At any given time I have about 4 blooming orchids placed around the house – but it is always a treat to clip a rose from the [...]

Red, Website, and Blue
I am in the process of designing a new website. My old site is perfectly fine for what it is (simple looking and easy to update) – but it is through a company in the UK and my plan only allows me to add 100 images. I out grew it almost immediately. And I can’t [...]

Inspiration of the Day: America and Pie
My boyfriend and I both have to work all day (and night) tomorrow. The Blue Door Artists are open late for the First Friday Art Walk, and he has both afternoon and night band gigs.
So we are celebrating Independence Day – Tonight. This is a photo of my patriotic [...]
