New Work

Finished the five new pieces of work that need to be installed in my display at the Artists' Collaborative Gallery this coming Monday morning....Graffiti Artist is above..actually my grandson at age three painting on my fence in the backyard....he was the only one of my grandkids that painted an abstract, all the others painted houses...Jack is certainly a different thinker. 

Dividing my time up between taking care of my home, the gallery, my art work and being with my husband about six hours a day while he's still be cared for in the rehab center rehabilitating after quadruple bypass surgery...makes for a very full day....I sometimes feel like I'm working again..I leave the house in them morning and return around dinner time only to start it all over again...just like I used to do for years working full time and tending my home and family.  Only this time it's just me at home, no kids or hubby....somewhat strange at times. 

Starting on a second piece of a commission I'm doing for a long time client and then I'm planning on starting on work that I've put on the back burner since all this has happened to my husband and me late January....our whole world has turned upside down, inside out and it's really been a ride to say the least.  One of the most difficult parts was keeping his huge family advised of all that was going on in a timely manner and trying not to miss telling someone...that's when the Facebook page I created for his family really came in handy.   

Anyway, I'm getting back to my studio routine as best I can with the time I have...this is what I mean by working...when I worked full time I really only got into my studio in the evening and weekends...this is what is happening right now and I DON'T LIKE IT....so glad my studio is at home and not off site..it would be difficult to get myself there right now.  Later...L
