in the studio today

rain, sun, rain, sun... it can't make up it's mind either...
a little tour of my studio today

a mixture of my stuff, will's painting, jeannie's felted pieces,
and a small painting left behind by a student.
the house in it looked like ours, so i kept it.

this is the still life my private lesson student set up and her painting...

a reflection of me... my felted bracelets, om paintings,
and preliminary sketch for my newest commission "girl on elephant"

the shelves that house the supplies i need for my painting,
they are the perfect height so when i am working, i can just
grab a brush, rest my palette...

stage #2 - after transferring the drawing, i paint a light outline
of burnt orange so that i can get rid of the pencil lines...

my elephant keeping me company:)
the one in the new painting is his little bro.

and finally, a spider with her clan in the corner of the room.
are they all going to fly away like in charlotte's web?
and where will they go - they are stuck inside???
