Broken wing

I tend to work with themes at any given time in my life. Most often my theme centers around bunny slippers. I know,,, something very sweet from my childhood. At this present moment my theme is centered around my recent event of damaging my rotator cuff. My wing. It hurts to paint,,,but I will get through this.

Broken Wing

I call this spread "Broken Wing". It's about the big move in my life. Quitting my job (to create art full time), buying a new home and moving to another state. In the process of all this positive change,, I broke my wing.
Actually I injured my rotator cuff in the move. I like to think of it as my "wings". I'll be flying again soon, thou.

New home, new state, new studio

I recently moved to another state,,,to Salem Oregon. I can't begin to tell you what an overwhelming journey this has been for me. I sold my home in Washington state, and I am now happy to say,,,I'm in a new city that seems to fit me. I injured my arm during the move, so getting things done has been a slow process. I will be able to teach in my new home studio. The start  of the cubby shelves went up today. There will be another section added this weekend. I've always wanted cubby shelves in my studio! This frees up more space so I can teach here.  The photos above are just of one wall, where the shelves are being custom built to fit the space.  I am so very excited about my new adventure!

Thank you to all of you who have followed me on my blog and have stayed with me during this time of transition.

Namaste

I love blogging,,,,I really do...

I know you've noticed I haven't been a very good blogger lately. I've had huge life changes,,, and have been a little preoccupied with them. Part of my big change will be selling and buying my new home. To make the changes I want to do in my life, I wanted to get a fresh start, a new home, and a new life. All changes are very good I promise. I won't go into details now,,, but I highly recommend the book "Free Range Humans". That will give you a big hint of what's going on in my life. So, I miss my blog but promise to get back in the swing of things by the fall. Stay tuned....til then...I plan on still posting my latest and archival creations. Thanks for staying with me..... Happy summer! xo

Change is good

If you ever want to pursue your dream now is the time to go for it. Don't be afraid to take a chance and believe that you can! Have faith that everything will work out and life is just as it should be. Believe in yourself and your strength to make a change. Have a great weekend!

Willow

This is my rescue dog Willow. I have had her now for almost a year. She is the sweetest dog on the planet now that she has her confidence. I painted her likeness today, I wonder if she approves. I always wanted to be a courtroom character painter, do you think I could get a job doing that! haha!
