Adventures in Art

So I'm totally hooked on this new art venture...

I took a class last week taught by Cheryl Darrow, who owns Ten Seconds Studios. We made "Poochie Portraits" in the class. You can see mine below. I love the whimsical feel of it. And isn't that just the cutest dog you've ever seen?


Anyway - I fell in love with this combination of canvas and paint and metal and photos. That night after class I could hardly sleep as I lay there thinking about all the things I could do with metal and canvas.

Yesterday, I got to play. I had about three hours of uninterrupted time in my studio, and I played and experimented and made a mess. And I came up with a 16 x 20 canvas... I love how it turned out.


I'm pretty much going to need to buy metal by the roll. There are so many ideas floating around inside my head.

That's what I love about art. How it pushes me and gives me passion and energy and the desire to create. I'm literally overflowing with creative energy right now.

I'll keep playing.

And sharing.

I'm totally hooked.

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...
