We only have a few weeks of summer left before the kiddos head back to school.  Truthfully my first thought is phew!, the bickering has reached mass conditions (though they’ve yet to tape eachother to the wall) and I am looking forward long quiet days around the house where my only focus is painting.  BUT then I feel it, the guilt, the regret the days have slipped by too fast.  So, we are keeping it low key and lazy around here this week and next, enjoying warm days with no plans.  This also means, my posts will be a little slower than usual.

I recently received a request for a large print of one of my paintings and I love how it turned out.  I may just have to do a small run of several of my pieces this size!

It is hot, hot, hot here, so I think we will be taking it easy.  This is one of those times when I am thrilled my studio is in the basement.
