“How did it get so late so soon?” //Dr. Seuss

I am so incredibly tired and feel behind on most everything. But, I’m up before the sun rises each morning and to bed well after everyone else in the house. What you don’t see are the 2 teenage kids who’ve been working remotely from home this entire week and my husband, who will be working from home through at least August 2021. My head is 🤯 and I feel like the “Juggle of Time” painting in these photos sums up my thoughts in a nutshell. 🤹🏼‍♀️ ⏳

But, we are healthy. So, I am thankful.

“Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong.” // Ella Fitzgerald

Giving my first tondo painting a whirl. ⚪️ To be continued...#workinprogress

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” //Albert Einstein

These two 36in. x 36in. mixed-media pieces on paper are complete!! This is the most fun I have had with a commission in a VERY long time. We discussed color and a few other elements, then she gave me full carte blanche to go for it. 🍃Now...which room, orientation and frames do you prefer? 1, 2 or 3? 🤔👇🏼

“For me and my family personally, September 11th was a reminder that life is fleeting, impermanent, and uncertain. Therefore, we must make use of every moment and nurture it with affection, tenderness, beauty, creativity, and laughter.” //Deepak Chopra

“Gramercy Park” (sold).

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was working near Central Park on 53rd & 5th in the Rolex Building and my husband, of just one year, was working on Wall Street. He called me after the 1st plane hit and told me that he thought a commuter flight had made a bad judgement call. We hung up. The second plane hit. All phone service went dead. I paced around the halls for about 30 minutes deciding what to do, looking for answers, feeling sick. I decided to run. I began running down 5th Avenue (no cars in site) in my business suit and heals towards our apartment which was on the 38th floor between 29th and Madison. I felt like I was the only one running towards the towers. I heard people screaming and they passed news that the Pentagon had just been hit. I was sure Manhattan was being attacked but my only thought was getting to our labrador who was in our apartment and finding my husband. Droves of people were all huddled around radios listening to the news, they gave me updates as I ran past them in a frantic mess. I continued to run. 24 blocks later, on the corner of the street, I see Walter with our dog, Chili. He was covered in ashes. He’d evacuated his building just as the towers collapsed. I will never forget.

“...For still there are so many things
That I have never seen
In every wood in every spring
There is a different green” //J.R.R. Tolkien

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” //Henry David Thoreau

This barn was designed to accommodate a guest suite, a workshop, and a large garage and is located in Wyoming. But...a girl can dream... 🤸🏻‍♀️this fitness room is where I imagine my easels and art studio. Light-filled and full of space to work on large pieces. Down the stairs, I imagine additional studio/gallery space and a workout room/steam shower. I picture it somewhere deep within the hills of Western North Carolina looking out at the Blue Ridge Mountains, close enough to a grocery store but far enough away from the hustle.

“Love yourself enough to create an environment i

“Love yourself enough to create an environment in your life that is conducive to the nourishment of your personal growth. Allow yourself to let go of the people, thoughts, and situations that poison your well-being. Cultivate a vibrant surrounding and commit yourself to making choices that will help you release the greatest expression of your unique beauty and purpose.” //Steve Maraboli

This is one of two 36” x 36” mixed-media paintings on paper. This is truly an ideal commission that lies within my current body of #AvantGarden works. At this point, I’m deep into layers of the second piece. Eventually, they will both hang on either side of a fireplace in a great room somewhere outside of Atlanta. In the 3rd photo, you can see my progress/process as well as my studio-mate in training. 🌿🐾

“The young girl looked at me, her eyes colder and brighter than the winter moon. "I am Artemis," she said. "//Rick Riordan

Artemis was the Olympian goddess of hunting, wild animals, children and birth. I painted and sold the original in 2013. Today, I’m embellishing a full-sized print of my original. This new embellished piece will be headed to Atlanta later this month! 🏹

“I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.” // Vincent Van Gogh.

It is easy to lose your mind inside of a piece of art. Or, rather, inside your own head while creating something for someone else. Both my heart and soul are going into two 36” x 36” #avantgarden paper pieces which will both eventually end up outside of Atlanta. I still have many details that need to go into this first piece but it’s coming along and I will be working on its pair soon enough. 🌿
