Oct OH! ber! A work in progress...



No pics yet but I'm working on an oil portrait commission and have small paintings to put up for auction. I have not been inspired so much to sit in front of the easel lately, but I have been making progress in other areas that are important to me. It will all circle back around soon enough. I have been putting a lot of time into my favorite project though, which is my pup! I groom him myself, which is a way to practice the sculpture I did for 25 years. He is full of ocean and beach in the photos, which made his coat curl, but he is a lot of fun to fuss with. He had a blast on this day! His joy is always contagious. I love seeing the fire of youth in him, and sometimes wish I had more of it left in myself, but I wouldn't trade my hard earned wisdom for it.

What a gorgeous dog!

And a very fun blog as well. I'm not an artist but all the details of what goes into it are fascinating, especially the importance of wearing properly paint-stained shirts!

Perhaps I'd get more done if I had my own special "blogging shirt." I can spill coffee on it instead of paint.

Hi Crabby! Thanks so much for the kind words. I have been enjoying your wonderfully hysterical and wise blog SO much that I made it a live bookmark, of which you are an exalted 1 of only 5. I found you thanks to the lovely Rector's Wife, who is impressively revamping. I just now got into my blog to add yours to my blogroll, and there was your comment.
Thanks for adding humor to my day, and I think coffee on a work shirt is great, I have spilled it and then and walked around all day wondering why I'm smelling coffee. It would probably be easier to just dab it behind my ears...

Thanks so much, TK!

And thank you so much for the comments on my blog--am really enjoying them.

(I recently spilled coffee on my pillow, too--washed the case, but the lingering aroma in the pillow itself is actually kind of nice!)
