WELCOME COOLER WEATHER!!!

The cooler weather alows me to wear bigger baggier cloths, i love that! I dont like chilly toes in the a.m. so i have to get some fuzzy socks!
I HAVE A PAINTERS BLOCK...its driving me crazy...i want to lock in to a painting and go!
I think i may take out the oils and let her rip...
I am sorry i havent been posting, but the drama in life sometimes makes things like posting on blogs such an effort. But i have to get back into my art world. I went to the Isabella gardner stewart?sp?? museum in Boston the other day...it was an inspiration to be eclectic, but it didnt hit my art button. So i think i will go to the Currier in Manchester. Maybe that will speak to me.
I still have some art supplies left from the store..Some w.c paints, prisma colorpencils, markers.tombows , some oils, just stuff. I have to get it together to either use it, or ebay it! THough ebay is kind of pricey, especially if the stuff doesnt sell! Anyway, going for a walk, then a meeting, then hopefully i will be inspired to make magic!!!

AUGUST 16,2010

Hi folks, sorry for not posting in awhile, but it has been hectic,,,and yes, i am still getting the "studio" together, unpacking and making room for all my NEW stuff!
I am doing classes,and going to be posting more info hopefully before Sept.If anybody needs any answers, feel free to email me. Arttoart@comcast.net

I did take a few days to go to NY with my youngest, and it was alot of fun. Perfect weather, and perfect company! I want to go back ASAP~! Do you know about the buses that run out of Boston~New York...I only paid 36.00 round trip, and that was high! There are many buses running hourly, and the average is 15.00 an hour. I will pay the extra 5 Bucks next time to reserve a seat! But other then that,,,it was great, can almost do it in a day!

Almost all out of the store

Hi good folks, I am 97 % out of the Newmarket location...Just waiting for some strong men and a trailer, and im out of there. Sad yes, but i realllly missed my home studio. I am so happy to be back there, and home where I can be available for my parents if they need me, work on the house...take care of my dogs...I just was never meant to be a 9-5 er! So i hope my people will follow me there, I will have w/c classes there and if my distributer lets me, i will do some retail. I am going to start up another kids class, i miss the innocence of youth! The approach they have to art, and to see things with clear eyes!
If anybody needs to get ahold of me, you can try my gardnluv@comcast.net email..I will call comcast and see about switching all that stuff over to the studio. I still have the 292 number, but dont answer it. Maybe i will call forward? Duh, that would be too easy now wouldnt it!
I will be doing an inventory of items i still have, but i am totaly looking forward to using most of it! YEAH!!!
Well, on to do some book work,,,ewww,,,see ya'll on the flip side
p s I will be doign the HERITAGE FESTIVAL!!!

Still selling stuff

I am going in to the store today, Sunday July 18, from 10-1:00..Prismacolor and tombow Markers are 1.00 each. Also, the large tubes of WINTON OIL paints, 1/2 off...Liquitex Acrylics,1/2 off...I still have WN and COTMAN watercolors tubes, they are 40% off, I have canson MiTients pastel paper, Still have large canvas's 1/2off...lots of little stuff, paint sets, charcoal pads,stuff on the "spinny rack"...I am also hoping people will want some of the display racks. The ones that the paint are in..
Oh yes, I still have some INKS, Higgins, WN and F&W..
Paint mediums, a very few brushes, some fair trade stuff, a few "Ellie Pooh" items...
ANd after all is said and done, I hope people will remember that i will be in Stratham at my home studio, 15 Jackrabbit Lane. I may still sell watercolor supplies, we will see how much room i have when i get situated. If you want to call and make sure I am still in the store,(to stop in and look around) you can call 603-2923668..I am not holding regular hours due to the heat. The only drawback to my little spot is there are no windows that open! UGH..Though, when they finish the new floor-plan, it will make somebody a great little store front. Its very hard for me to let it go. I am very attached to that little brick building...But instead of paying rent, I would like to contribute to the household...and teaching and working out of my home makes that happen. I hope any body with gift certificates have cashed them all in! I know most have, but there may be some straggelers!
Anyway, call the store if you need anymore info. Have a great day,thanks for reading and i will do my best to update as time goes on. THanks Pattie

Lots o' stuff left!

Thank you to everybody and there kind words. Yes I am sad, but just want to get it over with at this point. I cant believe how much stuff i have put in such a small space! UGH! Today, Sunday, I will go in for a couple hours and pack up some more things, I'd say from 9 til 12 ish. Call before you come, just to be sure I am there. Here are some pictures of things left. LIQUITEX PAINTS(tubes) many colors, water colors, oils, markers, Prisma color, TOmbow, Itoya, (markers are going 2 for the price of 1)...Large Charcoal pads, marker pads,watercolor pads, Montval blocks, some decent brushes,Kids stuff, Ellie pooh, Fair trade stuff,too much to mention, Ill post some pics, that may help!

So I finaly made the decision to CLOSE art to art

Yes, it makes me sad, but I have been struggeling with it for awhile. I belong in the studio painting, and teaching, not trying to keep books, and prices and all that stuff. Plus, my life has gotten very busy with family and all, and i just had to prioratize.
I will be selling stuff off, (unless somebody wants to buy the biz)...So if you need art supplies, ill start at 25%. Im hoping to get in there even today(wed)..but being hot, it may be a problem. Im thinking by Saturday, i will do a "Yardsale" on the side walk. But i cant GIVE the stuff away, but there are things I dont want to
store..I am an artist first, so there are things ill be using for my classes etc,
My classes will be based out of my studio in Stratham, as they have been for years.
So dont fret students!
If anybody has any questions, call my cell 583-3431
Thanks for reading! And thanks for all your support over the last year and a 1/2!
PS I apologize for my spelling, its part of the charm,,,,
