My new studio in progress...

So the new space is all painted (Divine Honey) and ready to become my new studio!

The Makings of my "new" studio

Today I have the GIAGANTIC job of moving my art space, up not one flight of stairs, but two, and into a new room.  Ugh!  I'm feeling so overwhelmed just by looking at all of my stuff, that I don't even know where to begin!  I really wish I could just wiggle my nose and make it all be done!  I will take pics to keep you updated on my progress.  I want it to be beautiful!

CERES, GODDESS OF AUTUMN

So here is my second Goddess...Ceres, Goddess of Autumn.  I just finished her this morning.  I will post her on my Etsy site also.  I'm really happy with how she turned out, and I really like the collaged background too.

It's time for the moon to softly restore me-good night.

ANGEL OF THE ROSE GARDEN

This is my latest...just trying a little different style.

APACHE BLESSING

May the sun bring you new energy by day,
may the moon softly restore you by night,
may the rain wash away your worries,
may the breeze blow new strength into you being,
may you walk through the world
and know its beauty all the days of your life.

Apache blessing

I'm trying out a new painting today- just for fun-So far I like her a lot.

Looking forward to my head hitting the pillow...

I LOVE MY BLOG FRIENDS

I have to say that I LOVE my blog friends. It feels like I'm getting all this love, support, and friendship, all wrapped up in these beautiful little inspiring packages. To look at everyones art just fills me with inspiration. It makes me want to work on my own art every single day. And when I can't for some reason or other, it makes me miss it so. To read my friends comments makes me feel so connected and supported. It's wonderful. And to be able to leave comments on others blogs, about their work, or their situation, makes me feel like I can give a little gift to them too. Wouldn't the world be a beautiful place if everyone could experience this wonderful world of artful blogging? I think it would help, at the very least. Thank you blogging friends, for all your words-they go straight to my heart.

Working on some goodies for Halloween

Halloween is coming soon-worked on these yesterday...

Maybe I'll try sketching some halloween ideas today...

Newest painting-finished yesterday :)

Here's one I just finished yesterday- but I don't know what to call her yet...

PERFECT WORLD OF ART

I THINK THIS IS WHY I LOVE ART...because in this little world of creating, there really are no rules. What a beautiful place it is that no rules need to apply. In fact it is a perfect world. One of freedom and expression. One of equality and beauty. One of planning or spontinaity. No right...No wrong. Everything is as it is supposed to be. Even "mistakes" are positive and wealthy tools. I wish we could all live here in this world of Art, always...

Goofing off and dancing while I paint in my little studio! I know...I'm a dork-but I don't mind :)

Payten took these.

THREE SISTERS

Here they are together. Kinda sweet.
