in the studio... umm.. i mean.. in the bathroom

okay so everyone that has come into the gallery has said to me at one time or another... 'when are you going to finish the bathroom??'... okay, okay.. yes we've been in here a really long time and yes i have not done my floor, walls or even allowed the trim to go up in the bathroom.. because well.. i 'have plans for it' -- or so i have been saying and in mind i have had. i did start on the walls about two months ago (see picture below).. but got busy or should i say 'distracted' (it's my very short attention span) -- but today i've decided i am going in and not coming out until i have at least STARTED on the floor. -- the walls will be a combo of collage and abstract painting (from my wish list series)... and the floor is just a collage - there will be a lot of bare space on the walls because i want all visitors to sign it -- with whatever (well by that i mean with their sig, quote, joke.. whatever) -- so here goes with the gallery's bathroom BEFORE photos...

i'll post pics at the end of the day to show the progress... maybe knowing i have to blog about it will keep my attention there longer.. probably not - but worth a shot..

in the studio today...

yesterday at about 2:30 in the afternoon i read an email from one of the dealers that represents my works to send them any type of works i might have that would be fitting to pop culture new york -- they needed it by the end of the day - it was 3:30 there time and they needed it in about 1 1/2.... needless to say there was no way i could complete it in time.. it's for a hotel project in new york (needed it to be approx 5 ft high) but i liked the idea and started playing with it. it's not finished yet.. and i never submitted it for the project because.. well i didn't have it done - but i am liking it.. have a bit more to do. i think of ny and think immediately of mary kate and ashley --- (sorry i like their hair) -- so the andy warhol marilyn face on the statue of liberty has mary kates eyes.. or maybe their ashleys.. had to put THE man rudy and of course the donald in there set into the 'big apples'.. lady liberty can't be in nyc without her chanel bag - am i wrong ladies? --- anyway i shot it with my olympus not the hasselblad - hence the bad picture... but you can enjoy it anyway...

it's not finished yet.. i am trying to work out this runway catwalk thing.. it was causing me all kinds of fits today so i stopped working on it and started an abstract.. which i rather like - i'll show pics when it is photographed. have a great night!

my weekend... the boys play date

hi boys and girls!! gotta blog quickly this morning as i am just getting ready to go into the studio to paint but i wanted to share my weekend updates. we had a really relaxing weekend here at home. scotts sister came home unexpectedly from out of town and we had a nice visit. she lives in manhattan and invited us and the boys to come for Thanksgiving.. so look out Macy's Day parade as a moose and stoney are coming your way. i found out something this weekend i was completely unaware of... many stores in nyc allow your babies (doggies) to go shopping with you... like Bloomingdales for example -- right in with you.. dressing rooms and all. i was like WHAT? i had no clue that your doggies could actually go shopping with you - AWESOME! sharon has a little white princess (spitz) named sasha - so stoney and moosey are looking VERY forward to their Thanksgiving NYC vacation (i will of course take pics for the blog!) so we had a nice visit... some wine.. and on sunday a play date named eli came to play with the boys.

when i say moose ALWAYS has a soccer ball in his mouth.. i really mean moose ALWAYS has a soccer ball in his mouth

outdoor art festivals...

so those who get my newsletters and follow my blogs know the 'shows' are new to me since 2007. i've done a few of the larger indoor expos but i have also been doing more and more outdoor art festivals and we've really been enjoying ourselves. (perfect for me because i LOVE being outdoors!) i have meant to show pics of my booth shots from the last show and didn't get a chance yet.. finally uploaded them. below is one of my booth shots from the highwood show we did. we ended up having to get a locking showcase --- people were stealing my books... and not just the little ones.. the large 160 pg 11" x 13" too.. very bizarre.. don't get how people can do that.. but whatever. anyhoooo i had a really great weekend (i'll blog about it tomorrow) getting ready to go watch me some britney (*fingers crossed it's better this time around!! LOVE MY BRITNEY!!)
