I know, I know.... It's been a while. Lots of changes around here. In February we finished the house and moved out of the rental. A month or so later I went back to work taking a job designing/selling kitchen and bath cabinetry. (Lots to learn!) The adjustment hasn't been easy, but I do like what I do. Then there is the unpacking, finishing up things in the house (still working on that) and just taking care of business. We spent 2 fantastic weeks on vacation in Italy. Talk about inspiration.... WOW! All that meant there wasn't much time for art. I took a few classes during the past 9 months just to keep me sane, but I haven't been able to give it the attention I would like. I really miss it. All the activity and no art time was really starting to get me down, when this happened.... 2nd place a the Midwest Collage Society Show at the Beverly Arts Center!
Since then I have made sure to carve out a few hours of time each week to be in my studio. Classes started up at the La Grange Art League this week which will help make sure I schedule some creative time. It's good to be back in the saddle!
