wow, March 20, 2011...where is the time

Im happy it is spring, its been a long winter. Inside and out. My heart has been stuck in a black hole, but i feel it is opening up again.  Spring is so wonderful...playing in the yucky, stinky pond, and under all the smelly dead stuff, i gentley(sp?) started pulling the dead stuff off a sunken lilie, i see a bud beginning already!  Just 2 days ago everything was frozen solid...so how did that happen?
Then, looking over the zebra grass and the cat o' nine tales, i see new growth there! YIPPEE!  never mind the corkscrew grass that never skipped a beat!  Unfortunatly, my fish and frogs didnt all fare so well. Maybe we will pay better attention next year, when we are closing it up for the season.
But last summer, though the weather was grand, we had so so many trials and tribulations. Its a miracle we came through to the other side. Hopefully, we got all the sad,bad and scary stuff out of the way.
I miss my little store, Art to Art is still "intact" but not so commercial. I am still giving classes, and have some supplies, but not sure what i am doing with the supply end of things!
I have room for new students, and looking to do a day class this spring and summer...Anytakers?

Well, thanks for reading, i am going to see if i have any new pictures to post! ENJOY THE SUNSHINE~

Where has the time gone?? Gettin' ready for shows...

I have signed up for a couple of shows this Holiday season. I have the wonderful GREENLAND PIE FESTIVAL,put on by the www.Greenlandwomensclub.org
It is Nov. 21,2010 and it starts at 10:00 a.m. The "pie" Festival is exactly that, the women, aside from putting this high end fine arts and crafts event, stay up all night and make a crazy variety of pies for people to purchase for the up-coming Holidays. It has become quite a tradition in the seacoast area, and i am excited to be part if it once again!
Then, I am joining in at the Dondero School event on Dec 4, 2010. 9a.m.-2p.m. They have moved this event from and after school afternoon, to a Saturday. THis gives the shoppers more time, and probably makes it a little easier for the vendors!
I will have my original watercolors, notecards of my works, and i may bring my purses made of recycled neck ties
So, on that note, I am trying to do a lot of "smaller" more affordable pieces of work.

autumn is all around us...(and the studio was clean for a minute!)

Its that sweatshirt time of year, the smell of smoke in a far off woodstove, the geese overhead, laying out their flight plan...the dogs snuggle really tight...and we all know whats ahead!
Hopefully something productive, that would be nice! I feel like its been forever since i have been productive...I feel like i have been a waste of air! Lets get the show on the road and do something fun!

October 1, and i am still STUcK!

I went out to the studio today, only to find a leak...But i did have a "twinge" of wanting to paint. I have takin' some nice photos lately, and i think my block may be coming to an end! I hope so, i miss the frenzy...Well, I hope all is well out there, Enjoy the "interesting skies" we have been having! Starting a new "Young adult" class on Mondays after school, 4:15-5:45 ish...Im looking forward to it!

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
