I received two wonderful books in the mail: Little Birds & Drawing Lab by Carla Sondheim. I've completed my second project from Little Birds:
And I can't wait to dive into Carla's Drawing Lab book.
The back cover beckons: "introduce more creativity and nonsense into your art and life". Who doesn't need more of either? The Artists of the Round Table (ART) community is sponsoring an online workshop featuring this book starting on July 5th. I'm counting the days....Please join us. It's free to anyone who wants to participate. ART offers all kinds of free online workshops- check 'em out if you enjoy artsy pursuits.

And, the most exciting news ever! I'm going back to NYC after 7 years of being away. It's only for a visit but I couldn't be happier (well, I could be happier if Kelly was going but someone needs to tend to the surly mutts) . Museums and old friends and music and theater and street muscians and....well, I'm hungry. I've been away too long.

And OK, despite my whining, there are some things to love about summer:
And it hasn't been that hot yet this year. At least here in southern Oregon. It's been a glorious summer so far. And I'm happy about that. Cheers!
Your art and photos are all so happy--I love the bold colors. Have a wonderful time in the Big Apple!
ReplyDeleteHave an amazing time in NYC, my daughter came back a week ago with wonderful tales of that city. She lived for eight years in London and loves the city life she was bowled over!
ReplyDeleteBe sure to post some pics.
Have a great weekend.
Both peacocks are cute! Which is your favorite?
ReplyDeleteI always admire those who can draw. It never seems to work for me - stickfigures at best :)
Congrats on going home, have a blast!
