Monday! Summer is HERE!

It is like a sauna already this morning! But, the studio in the basement is finished and waiting for me to come to work/play this morning. I haven't done all of the things I wanted to do this summer, but I have done a LOT! Just having the studio is wonderful. It is so bright and welcoming now...I could stay down there for a long time...and it is so cool in the basement, ummmmmm. I have preped about 10 pages in my art Journal and will go down to work after a walk with a friend in the morning air before it gets too hot. I am grateful for my friend, great places to walk, and my new studio!!

Studio on the HOME STRETCH!!

The studio room is painted...just have to get things back together...blue tape is still on the edge of the ceiling/wall, and on the edge of the floor/wall...furniture in the middle of the room. But, it is ready to organize and come together as a REAL studio with all of my art supplies in the same place!! Yea!!

Today was my first time EVER doing Encaustic wax painting...VERY cool stuff this!! I learned a LOT just doing one "painting"...you can't understand something unless you actually DO IT!! Words are nice, and they give some guidance...but, actually living something, doing something, experiencing something teaches much more than words can tell you.
