Having a little bit of a studio clean out after building a new workstation and I found a stash of old children's primers. I love old children's books. They are so blatantly a product of their time.
This, however, may be my new favorite image. No one is messing with this woman.
No one.
She will definitely be making her way into something I make. And maybe a t-shirt.

'Sound and quest and sorting boxes'
11x14 inch on paper. Mixed media

Working on paper is freeing, there's no pressure inherit in paper. I do have some printmaking papers that are $20-30 a sheet - there's more motivation there to not mess up. But a nice archival heavyweight sheet that you can play on, explore, and just generally be present in, that's a gift.
This piece is for sale on my website oddly enough under the works on paper section of the shop. Link in bio.

Studio cat no.90 I just added catnip to the scratchers and apparently did not wash my hands well enough. I am very popular at the moment.

Today is a day of underneath. There is so much underneath our living that we walk around on all the time without acknowledgement. We are all built upon compassion and grace and beauty so deep it's painful. I hope that surfaces today for all of us.

Playing around tiny style today so I have time to bake some bread too. 3x6 wood layered for days with @goldenpaints mediums and paint.

Seriously, how am I supposed to get anything done? She is the oddest cat. She will only sit on your lap in the studio. Anyone else have a spacially-selective snuggler?
Studio cat no.88 (I think...) Doing her best to be not white.

Latest playing on the easel. I've been thinking lately about what we tell our children when they leave the house (which I will admit is not that much at present). This was a long time topic of conversation in a previous lifetime when I worked with adolescent girls. So I'm curious, what do you say to your child when they go off to school each morning? What just naturally comes out of your mouth?
