Change of heart

After several let-downs in house/studio hunting, we've come to the conclusion that what we already have is pretty darn good. We've decided to convert the garage into studio space.

House hunting analog

Today we went out looking at the houses we found. Six tries. Six "no's." Looking online again tonight.

House hunting digital

Looking for houses on the Internet. Need studio space. How did people possibly look before? Very slowly, I suppose.

String of pearls

Just a fun drawing to work on.
See how many different images you can get
from just a few simple lines and shapes.

Green dryer

Love the smell of clothes dried outside on the line.

Ucky drawing

Not such a great drawing today, but you'll have these things. It's not really a reflection of the day, just my inability to capture it.

• Out to lunch with my kids
• Sold a couple pieces of art (yay!)
• Bought two new sketchbooks

Sunday morning

Finally got a run in today.
Not a very good time, but I did it.
And I'm not racing anybody.

The Great Allegheny Passage

Biked today from Rockwood, PA to Meyersdale (and back, of course) with my hubby and two of our friends. The Salisbury Viaduct is a killer for people like me who inherited the fear-of-heights gene. Absolutely beautiful day for a ride!

Road trip to State College

Went to State College today to pick up two pieces I had in the Images 2007 show. One of them won the William D. Davis award in drawing (!). The winners are posted here.

Visual journal

My life as I see it.

Since I can't seem to keep up with writing what's happening,
I decided to start drawing it.

Where've I Been?

So if you've checked back here at all lately, you've probably noticed I haven't been around. So true. I've been (happily) busy working on a book which I finished a couple weeks ago. Amazon has it up for preorder here. I felt like I was grinding my wheels for so long before I got that phone call. But the people at Lark Books are great to work with which made up for the lull in action. Thanks Celia and Robin! When Celia called she said, "I've been collecting your postcards." What a fantastic feeling. Anyway, here's the image from the latest postcard.
