Cannot get enough
of painting these bright blooms
call lilies like white hot flames
and we paint...week after week
...chatting and sipping wine,
our answer to the paint and sip craze
Another week of postcards from paradise
Please don't forget...if you are in town, stop by the Museum and vote for me! You have until June 12th, don't delay, vote today!
calla lilies...Georgia O'Keefe's keep drawing me back...so sensual, so beautiful
and pretty shadows in the morning light
wispy flowers spent
dancing in the cool sunlight
drawing from their line
Two (long) weekends where we welcomed many visitors into the Mango Studio...
it all started with a preview show where people could see examples of the 52 artists and decide which venues they would like to visit.
then on to the tour...ALL of my new flower pot paintings sold...I am so very happy that they were so well received!
Roni had many people admiring her beautiful black and white photography and demo'd her polaroid transfer process for us...
Charlotte's garden sculpture, new paintings and her daughter's gorgeous origami flowers went home with many
it was quite cold at times...but we kept warm gathering around the fire
Tess came up...
and 3 generations celebrated Mothers Day at Comida with margs and tacos (sorry Tess, you have no face:))
Hope you all enjoyed your mother's day and thanks to everyone that came out for the tour...
A macquette for a public art piece...Shock Art...the city will select artists to paint electrical boxes.
the real boxes are HUGE...an 11 x 11 x 7 box must be painted, in exactly the manner the electrical box will be painted.
I'm finding JOY in this little box...what do you think? Would you vote for this bright and magical garden to transform a big box near you?
Besides the work I put out for sale at the studio tour I know that people are curious about all the 'stuff' I have tucked away here and there. I've also tidied up the shelves....so peek away...
I love sharing all the things that bring me JOY in the Mango Studio. Check HERE for all the goings on associated with the East Boulder County Artists studio tour...
and find more JOY here.
ahhh, so sweet indeed to be home...did though enjoy some wonderful reading on the long plane rides. Mockingbird, a Portrait of Harper Lee and To Kill a Mockingbird...no! I have never read it.
Happy birthday Nelle!
because while this looks like paradise
my funky tropical pineapple....
and tiny totems enliven MY paradise...
scrambling, a bit, to get ready for you all! The East Boulder County Studio Tour...May 5th and 6th, 12th and 13th.
Finding JOY in little projects...stamped and watercolored bees circling the dandelion, covered in beeswax
7 x 7" small works to raise money for Brookline MA Meals on Wheels...a project by Jenn Mason, my work in Haiku for Rebecca;
we depend on them
to provide the world with food
live on little Bee...
JOY and Haiku my heart...has been a while since I have joined in
Making more totems for the studio tour...glazed some little ones
to go with the tiny totem prints...birds and bees and butterflies
and outside my studio windows...to my delight...a little gold finch
and a very fat robin
Hope that you'll come see me for the EBCA studio tour if you're in the neighborhood
a bit of journaling....
before their last dance
Wanting spring flowers around all year round...printed my new paintings on a large printer, adhered to cement board...
several layers of outdoor polyurethane...can you see Olive snoozing, she could care less
and Mr R risked life and limb to hang this on the side of the house...he can see them out his office window, my neighbors can see them out their kitchen window
and a new bright corner to our ever growing alley art collection.
All in preparation for the upcoming EBCA studio tour...mark your calendars now!
