Resuming Studio Normality

The FallArtTour is over....and the Convent Gallery's Breaking the Habit show was a sucess!
I want to thank all who visited my studio....
who marched through the mud, to climb the "treacherous" rock steps...
and who used my "lumpy carpet" path through the snow.
It was a lot of fun....thank-you.

The studio doesn't look like that all the time...

It was fun to have the arting around for a few days...
but, it's time to get started on whatever is next....
the remaining completed work will be put into drawers,
packed away, or brought into the house.
Out will come all my scribblings, boxes of stuff, and notes....
clipped together, taped to the windows or pushpinned to the walls.
Piles of books and things will begin growing again...
and all sorts of items will begin crawling from the drawers and boxes....

The studio is for work in progress....it's not big enough for work that's done...
besides, I'm sort of uncomfortable with completed artings out there.

So, I put them away...or sell them.

Ha...that's how I lost track of 12 paintings....
I forgot where I put them...
I think I mentioned something about this....
studio archeology? maybe that's what I called it....
Yeh, I just ran into them not long ago...

Today I found a box of 15 monoprints....
while looking for a couple oil pastels I tried to find for someone last weekend.
I'd been looking for the monoprints for 5 months.
The oil pastels will turn up.
They're just really safe.
