What would i want to hang on the wall in such a place? What kind of mood would i want to set?

It’s proving to be a fun challenge as i force myself to look at less saturated colors and interesting combinations of light and dark, subtlety and contrast. The exercise is also helping me to get a fresh perspective. Sometimes i find myself so bogged down in packing and shipping and emailing and tweeting, i forget that the art needs to come first and that i want to evolve and change. i will have to force myself out of my own box much more often in the future, because i like surprising myself. It’s fun! How would i ever have known i had this little ditty inside me if i hadn’t tried?

This print, titled “Flower Stalker”, is available in my etsy shop.

but here is my most recent completed work, “hanging by a thread.” it’s an ink drawing that i’ve scanned and colored digitally. i wanted a wispy, thin-lined work where the thread-like lines take center-stage. enjoy!

If you know me, you know i don’t wear short-shorts, or medium-shorts.  Lord,  i only wear bermuda shorts if the temp is above ninety! But in summer, nothing beats a long day outside followed up by a cool shower, some nice smelling lotion, a tank top and comfy lounge shorts to jump into.  Add crisp, freshly laundered sheets, a good book and an open window welcoming the sound of crickets and i’m pretty much in heaven.

The “Beckoning Creatures” lounge shorts by PlumPrettySugar on etsy totally fit the bill and are so me! They make me wish summer would hurry up and get here already!
