The summer is calling.

Starting to sketch out ideas and play with some freshly cut seaweed inspired stencils for the next series.

Last day of school.⁠ ⁠ My kiddo starts summer

Last day of school.⁠
⁠
My kiddo starts summer vacation at lunchtime today. Everything is all wrapped up for the school year. And what a year it was...⁠
⁠
We had a mix of virtual and in person learning over the course of the year, and as great a job as our district did to adapt, the kids still had trouble getting work done and staying on top of their classes. So our district started Phantom Finish It days (our mascot is the Phantom). Every couple of weeks, they would shorten a Wednesday schedule, have no new work assigned, and just let the kids focus on catching up and checking in with teachers they needed help from. Brilliant!⁠
⁠
I've started scheduling my own finish it days now. Just blocks of time with nothing specific planned, so when my schedule does go off track, I know I've got that buffer there to make up for it. We're focusing on our time this week over in @theartistinitiative and it is making such a difference!⁠

This little guy is the last of my summer rabbits at the RoCo6x6 fundraiser. Every year the Rochester Contemporary Art Center invites artists to donate small pieces, just 6"x6" that are sold for $20 each as a fundraiser for the center's programs. The early bird buyers nabbed the other buns already.⁠
⁠
Today is the day it opens to the general public, so if you want to snatch up this last bunny on the cheap and help out an art center check it out here: http://www.roco6x6.org/gallery/2021/3130⁠
(if the link doesn't take you right there, search for artwork 3130)⁠

I find it kind of funny that after having the turtle as my little totem for so long, I have become so obsessed with rabbits.⁠
⁠
The turtle always served to remind me that 'you only make progress when you stick out your neck' and I still have a number of them scattered about the house.⁠
⁠
But then the rabbits started appearing and in doing research into their symbolism the phrase that stuck with me is that they represent the undeniable current of growth. ('coz if there is one things rabbits do well, its be productive - wink wink). ⁠
⁠
So these guys are here to keep me growing and taking risks, because really, that's what life is all about...⁠

Spent some time in the garden today. We are way behind with our planting this year, but at least what is in the ground is doing well. Ready to harvest the first batch of chamomile tomorrow and brew up some fresh tea.⁠
⁠
I have to admit I was torn between working in the garden and working in the studio. I really wanted to paint today, but the current seedlings needed to get transplanted. I used to really stress about things like this - always felt like whatever I was doing I should actually be doing something else. But I'm getting better; planning my time, knowing there is time for everything, and focusing fully on the present.⁠

One of the things I have been blessed with from very early on is a very supportive family. They always encouraged my creative pursuits and cheered on my successes.⁠
⁠
I remember one summer when I was coloring one of those giant posters that was filled with drawings (children of the 70's - you know what I'm talking about...) and my grandfather playfully scolded me about it. He told me I should be drawing my own posters, not coloring someone else's drawing. This is one of those memories I come back to visit in moments of self doubt, so the love and encouragement can wash all over me again. My grandfather was also one of the big influencers in my reading habits, but that is a tale for another day...⁠

Today’s backyard botanical inspiration. Mainly what most would consider weeds, and the biggest ladybug I have ever seen.

As I work on paintings I will use excess paint or clean off my brushes in one of my sketchbooks. I will then come back later and use these painted pages for my sketching, which I much prefer over sketching on plain white pages. Something about the page already being a mess is very freeing...

Anyway, I’ve had this page of black and white paint hanging around for awhile. Nothing ever seemed to fit with the dark black stripe. Then Luka came across my feed, an adoptable fox from @saveafox_rescue. The page must have been waiting just for them.

So how gorgeous is this 6ft weed I encountered on my errands today?
Makes me want to let everything just go wild.
