Home is where my heart is right now. And that's not just because I've been working away like crazy on house/garden projects or trying to clean. I've just been really happy this week, and well, I want to enjoy it. Roll around in it and just breathe a sigh of contentment. I don't feel like this a lot, so I need to really enjoy it while it's there!
I spent a glorious day in the art studio yesterday finishing up some pieces for my inaugural sale at the First Thursday Street Gallery in the Pearl! It's tomorrow night from 5-10pm, and I can't wait to spend a warm summer evening out in the Pearl District with tons of fellow artists selling art, looking at art, and just enjoying an evening in Portland. Come out if you can!
These two pieces are products of yesterday's art love-in. The top one just came out of the blue at the end of the session when I am just letting myself make anything that I feel like without any limits. How is it that those are often the pieces we are most drawn to? Funny.
Though, I fully admit I also really like this second piece which is on a thick piece of 2" thick wood. It's a nice chunky little piece that just screams summer sunny fun!

Fun! I love it when a painting day goes well. Love the colors. Good luck at your event.
I like both those pieces. I love when creating just clicks and you feel productive. Have fun tonight. It should be nice since it won't be as hot as yesterday!
Thanks for checking out my stuff. It is a big thrill and so inspiring to meet successful artists. I did visit your tent at the Art Hop. My friend Julie and I shut down at 5 to give ourselves one hour to try and see some art before the fest was over. We hustled through but did manage to see your work. . . I have admired it since I first saw it at the Lewis Holiday Bazaar. -Hope to see you there again this year!
