Here is the beginning of a painting inspired by the website SaveToby.com. I call it “Wash up before dinner.” I saw this website last night and I just about fell on my face. The story goes: a man decided to ask for $50,000 by June 30th in exchange for sparing a very cute bunny’s life.…

I’ve been spending the morning knocking things off my to do list. Now it’s time for me to take a little walk and get some fresh air before it’s time to go to class. So much to do! Yesterday I started on my next encausatic series as well as gessoing a couple canvases. I have…

I went out 4 days in a row. Pretty incredible for me. Now I feel awful and I don’t want to drink for a while. The duck in my liver is very angry. Friday I don’t think I did one thing I thought I was going to do, but still, I got lots done. I…

I sorta slept in but still got up before Tom, who has a job, so I don’t feel very accomplished in that department. Next on the agenda is to take photos of some paintings, then I will walk down to market and do a gallery stroll. I am finally going to make it to the…

Even though I have a “girls gone wild” hangover from all the partying I’ve been doing this week, I have a spring in my step and a glint in my eye today. I am cramming to get as much done today as I can and then I fly away, like a bird. I have so…

Last night I went to Annie’s Cocktail Lounge. We had some birthday karaoke for my friend Jason. Annie’s is great. I’ve wanted to go for years but just never made it there. There’s a great crowd on Tuesdays and they have a pretty decent karaoke selection. I masacred a Carpenters song and a Patsy Cline…

I am so sick of hearing about Terri Schiavo and Michael Jackson. Today on yahoo! news I saw an article entitled “Jackson prays with Terri Schiavo’s family.” At first I thought it was referring to Michael Jackson, but it was the Rev. Jackson. That might be a good idea, just combine all the over-hyped news…

It’s spring break. Although I still have class tonight, so it’s really only spring break in spirit. I am thinking about having a wet t-shirt contest with myself in my back yard. Maybe Tom can just hose me down with the garden hose and we can drink some canned beer or something. I am getting…

Check out the photos from the March Sparkanzoo Craft Sale. I will be selling small paintings, help pastels, cards and hats at the one on April 23rd so mark your calendars.

It’s the last day of classes before Spring break. This makes me a very happy girl. We are having a critique on our latest assignment of alternative surface and memory/autobiography. I am showing off my dinosaur today. Then tonight I’m off to Western Civ class for a final lecture before the break. I get my…

Hi, Amy Ruppel is having an online art sale today of her small encaustics $80 – $100. We own two of them and we like ’em! So go buy one.

I’m getting over a cold. It mostly just made me really cranky and mad. Now I seem to be mostly ok. Today was busy for being so sniffly. I painted my dinosaur. Here he is in just newspaper. As of now he is covered in paper pulp and painted in a patchwork of pinks, blues…
