First Fall Snow...

I've been a little behind in my posting this week, mainly because I've been staying at my mom's to help her out while she recovers from surgery. I feel a little art deprived, but actually, I think a bit of a break was good for my full-to-the-brim brain. It's been nice to be in the mountains and away from all the distractions (and frustrations) of home.
Mid-week, we had our first major snow storm move through. Wednesday was spent mostly indoors, except for a couple of trips to let the dogs out to play and shovel the snow. All in all we got about 14" of snow during Wednesday, and woke up to a bright (and cold) Thursday.
I forgot how quiet the snow makes everything, and it was really beautiful.
So, here's some snow inspiring photos from this week!

Illustration Friday: Scattered

This is the piece I made for this week's Illustration Friday topic!

Blog Tour

I finally got my art work space cleaned up and organized enough to use today. Very exciting, since the past two weeks I've barely gotten away from my computer to do a small hands on project, let alone a day long one. Temporarily my work time has been consumed with website and blog building, and working on getting the particulars figured out for my online store. It feels good to be art-working today, and something I really needed to make time for.
I decided to do a short post, since I'm waiting for gel medium on today's collage to dry.
Last night I became completely absorbed checking out artist blogs. I forget that there are so many people out there making fantastic art. I also finally stumbled on to Illustration Friday. From there I began looking at MokeyWorks Illustration, which was like ending my evening with a red velvet cupcake...delightfully and yummy food for my brain! I love his bear illustrations, and think that I've got to have a Mr. Pink Pantone Color Card t-shirt. I also looked at The Sketchbook Project, which is, completely awesome. I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to participate now, or wait to see if they're going to put one together for 2013.
I get so inspired and excited by all of the opportunities out there to share art with others and by the artists doing what they love and making a living at it. And it's just another reminder that I'm on the right path.
Photos of this week,s projects and today's collage coming up in the next couple of days!
Cheers and happy weekend!
