One Hundred for $100.00

I just got an e-mail yesterday from the Better Bennington Corporation saying they would like to have two of my prints in their auction. One is a portrait of George and the other is a gestural abtraction of flower. I'm excited for it. Now I just have to get them matted and framed. I hope it won't cost me too much but I know it probably won't be cheap.
Back to the studio!

If only there were more hours

I'm so tired but I can't sleep. I feel like I've accomplished a good amount of stuff I needed to do this 'weekend' (I had Monday and Tuesday off from work) At the same time I wish I had done so much more. There is never enough time in the day and once I start a project time flies by way too quickly.

The best part is that my storage unit is almost done!

These pictures are from the first day.

George started working on it for me and now the only thing left is creating dividers. No more having all my paintings leaning against the wall, falling over, and getting damaged. yay!

Once my storage unit was upright in it's spot I started organizing and sorting through my piles of old work on paper. I found a lot that I had completely forgotten about. When you haven't seen something you've created for so long it's amazing how differently you see it. Maybe I'll put some of that stuff up next time. When I finished organizing I went back to work on some commissioned portraits. I'm almost done with those..only a little more left to finish.

I can't remember what else I was going to write. I supposed I should try to get some sleep considering it's almost 3 am and my mind doesn't want to work.

Storage unit...part one

I went to Home Depot a few days ago with George and bought some wood to make a storage unit for my paintings and drawings. It cost me a lot more than I wanted to spend but it will be worth it when it's done.

My attempt to create a storage unit for my paintings is currently making my studio even more cluttered. George and I were going to put it together but my brother wants to help too. He's the one with the drill plus he does this kind of stuff for a living. Since I have to work at night for the next few days I won't be able to do anything with it until Monday or Tuesday. I hate waiting..I wish I could put it together now but at least I know it will be less likely to fall apart after a week. I'm so excited!

It's been a while

I am definately going to start writing in here again. It's been so long. It feels good to write about what I'm working on and planning, what I'm trying to accomplish..etc. Now I'm living in Vermont with my fiance. I have my own studio to work in now! Right now it's a mess. It's gotten to the point where I can't work very well in it. When it's too cluttered I get distracted by everything. Time to move stuff and re-organize everything!
