Sweet Kate

This is my goddaughter, Kat, what a sweetheart, she is on her way to Ireland to be an assistant for an artist who is holding a 7 days oil painting workshop - in a castle no less. She will be his assistant and student, 2. She spent the day with us on her way to OHare to catch her flight to Ireland, then on to London, then to Southampton to visit with her sister. Kat is a recent graduate of the Art Institute, since graduating she is teaching others drawing, her speciality, but wants to learn more about oil painting so she got a scholarship to help out this artist, I wish I knew his name but I don't.I am so proud of her. My wish is that her art takes her up to the stars and back. She deserves all the best. I love her to pieces.

Inspire Me Thursday 06/22/06

In Good Time - A collage made in 40 minutes. 10 minutes to collect all the pieces and 30 minutes to put it all together, I painted and stamped and glued it all down. I confess, I use a small electirc fan to dpeed up the drying time, but 40 minutes and there is was, all done.

Functional Art-InspireMeThursday

Functional Art, my bulletin board. I couldn't find one I liked or large enough so I made my own. It's a foam core board that I covered, it is so light weight and easy to hang, 2. Some of my favorite art hangs out there. Garland made by my friend, Denise.

My art space isn't really a messy place, of course, the cabinet, you see on the left could be a bit more organized but it's my space and I love it. Or maybe I just couldn't let you see the really messy parts!!!
