Last week of Summer School!! Beginning of some "free" time!!

Thursday I'll give one final, and then it will be the end of another chapter, but not the end of the book!! The next chapter is to complete the final touches to the Studio, and begin to do some serious art. I have about three weeks...need to get my fall classes in order, but doing some art will be important, too.

Finally got a little rain last night...a real blessing in the middle of this amazing heat wave we have been having. I will feel what the rain is like and attract some more.

Progress on my basement studio

After a long absence from my blog, here I am to say that I hung a swag over the French doors in my studio today...it looks marvy!! And, I started a painting on one of the doors in the studio.I am using a painting by Arthur Rankham as a model, but will be changing it a LOT from the original. But I have discovered the wonderful world of the artists who illustrateed childrens books early in the 20th century...Arthur Rankham,Edmund Dulac, and Warwick Goble. Their paintings are filled with princesses and faries and mysterious places. The lighting in these paintings is magical, and the detail is just amazing!! I hope someone finds this post and discovers these artists, and loves them as I do.
