That's life

It's been a busy few days over here my way. Some good, some not so good stuff but all in all, isn't that what life is? You celebrate and appreciate the good stuff and you hold on tight and ride out the bad. Life goes on.

  I have tried for the past two days to get a blog post up here but again, life got in the way. sorry for the delay.

 Working in my studio, creating,  helps immensely when I'm jumping life's hurdles. This morning it is so hot in my studio, I decided to work on a stress free mini sketch. This little baby cottontail is colored pencil on 2 1/2 X 3 1/2 inch black Artagan paper. I only used four colored pencils, worked for me. It's just too warm up here to break out the big guns and start something large. This size format is called an ATC or artist trading card and they are fun and relaxing to do. The perfect project after a hectic week.

  Tonight, to get out of my incredibly hot studio, I am going to the Hutto Farmers Market and Chalk walk. Maybe pick up some fresh veggies and fruits and of course gaze at all the chalk art.

  I'm still working on "The Tree Hugger"it has a few more hours to go before I finish it. I will work on her some more today as well. First, I have to call a roofer out to get an estimate. Just another one of life's interruptions that I am dealing with as well this week. Next week will be better.

  I will be back for sure in a couple days with more news from my studio. For now, I'm going to go try to cool off. It may be a losing battle but I'm going to make the attempt. catch y'all later.
