Studio Clean

My studio is out-of-control...

its time for me to clean it up, so I can get creative again!!

Want Ad:  Still seeking inspiration.

Mushroom Art

Being surrounded by mushrooms at work all day, I had to try my hand at painting some.

Work has been really fun and inspiring lately.

Getting Inspired

This summer has been filled with traveling, working and getting my daughter ready to leave for Germany for the next year.  My artwork has been put on the back burner.

But, in between the little cracks, I am finding inspiration for a possible new series.

I have been painting abstracts for my home lately and am loving it.

With the Glitter Market coming up very soon, I need to find my inspiration fast!

These are some photos I've taken that I can see a painting emerging from.

(If you are in the OKC Anthropologie store, see if you can spy these beauties.)

Postcards From Laguna Beach

Just back from a trip to Laguna Beach with our good friends. 

So beautiful.

I'm always creatively inspired after I get home.

With our friends, Bob and Beth.

The Farmers Market
Besides beautiful....so delicious!

Anthropologie @ Fashion Island
(Of course, I have to check in at every Anthro!)

My First Class!

My students and their flowers!

The flowers turned out beautiful!  

Thanks for being such a great class...we had fun!

Postcards from NYC

Here are a few pictures from my trip.  

ABC Carpet and Home
Paula Rubenstein Ltd.

This was my second visit to ABC Carpet and Home and I was not disappointed!  

I was on visual over-stimulation!

There were two or three of these book columns.  So cool.

The place setting was in their restaurant....loved it!

Paula Rubenstein Ltd. was on our "must" list.  It seemed it was not going to happen,

after walking and searching and pretty much giving up, my friend, Cherry, turned and

said "There it is!"  A small shop with only the hand-written sign on door.

So glad we found it!

Tinsel Trading Company

When we reached Tinsel Trading Company, we were shocked 

to see much of the store was marked 50% off!

Apparently, they are in the process of moving.

As of now, they do not have a store front and must be out of their

space by August 31.  

Keep checking their website for details!!

Anthropologie

Where there is an Anthropologie, you will find me there!

These were a few of my favorite displays.

This was my first time to Brooklyn, and I must say I loved it!

Such a drastic difference from NYC.

If you're not bored to tears, I will post a couple more postcards later.

Tripping

Taking a little vacation...hoping to hit as many places in this book as possible!!

The Society Inc

I will share my "finds" when I return.
