It’s been a pretty quiet weekend. yesterday I ripped up magazines to add to my collage pieces pile which I will never use. The advantage to doing this useless task is that it’s sometimes the only way I can get myself to throw out perfectly good magazines. I know, sad. We went out to dinner…

Hurray! It’s picture day! This is what my toe looks like:

Have I shared this one with you? Eh, it’s alright. Not my favorite painting. It’s about 16″ x 20″

Tell her I’m sorry. Tell her I need my baby. Oh, won’t you tell her, that I love her. Now I really have to go to Oregon next week. The potter who made this mug, lives on the oregon coast. 🙁

I’m addicted to cheeseburgers. I just had a cheeseburger at mel’s before class. It was good. I skipped the fries so I don’t feel so terrible. But still, how am I supposed to loose weight on cheeseburgers?

Today I hung out with my friend Bradley. Who today pointed out we’ve know each other for 15 years. I haven’t seen him in a long, long time, which is sad, but it’s happy now because I saw him today and got to have lunch at his favorite Indian restaurant. I am now mulling over…

I am going to try and find a new style using lots of painting mixed with drawing. I am having fun. Today I started out so bored, feels good to be trying something new.

Here are photos of sparkanzoo last weekend. There’s a picture of me, Dave and, uh.. good ole what’s his face. I’m bad with names. Anyway, it’s second from the bottom. see pictures I have a new favorite food. grits, cooked in broth, a scrambled egg with diced green chilies, and salsa verde all wrapped up…

Here’s a view from my table at Sparkanzoo –alanna

I’m lazy today. My toe hurts. I don’t feel like walking anywhere. I’m going to be pretty lazy for a while, then try to clear some crap out of our house. Maybe I’ll post the latest paintings. Okie dokie, here they are. They are 8″ x 8″ encaustic collage with fabric and origami paper. They…

Hi, I am typing into the interweb via our new wireless router that Tom was brave enough to plug in despite having to crawl over piles of my crap that are stashed deep into the crevaces of our bedroom. And let me tell you, it is wonderful. Things that are not wonderful… I smashed my…

This also may have something to do with yesterday being 4/20, but I had a dream that I was an ob/gyn and my first patient, a friend, had a disco in her crotch. Complete with disco music, funky orange and white pattern on the wall, ala Miro, and tropical fish swimming around amongst funky bachelor…

Hi, I’m not studying for my test right now. I only have an hour and a half before class too, which means I’m screwed. I might have to leave painting class early to go and study before the test. I’m just not motivated. I want to veg. Yesterday was a long day. I gotta say,…

Today was so fricken busy. I had a 13 hour day which involved lumber, oil paint, miter saws, hot wax, gorilla glue, Fed Ex, art stores, burritos and diet coke. I am now up to 15 paintings, almost ready to go for the Saturday sale. I think I’ve cleared the city of all small D…

Hi, Last night was my last class for Children’s Book Illustration. Last night after class I mounted the first 4 new encaustic paintings on craddles. Today I woke up, worked on more craddles, went to Builder’s Supply to pick up some hanging hardware, then went off to the studio to work on more encaustics. At…
