Off to an auction.......

I just finished this piece and sent it off to an auction for a young girl in my area. She is undergoing surgery and the auction will raise money for the expenses.

I have a few canvases and wood prepped and ready to collage. I hope to get my etsy shop back up and running. I have had only select items in there for sometime. It is hard to make art and then be savvy about the marketing of your work. I will make an effort .

I have been wanting to do some more volunteer work for quite sometime. I had an idea that I wanted to start ..... then I got the job at the school. I have been trying to juggle school, my kids , my art and my home .... and I just put the idea aside . A new opportunity has just come my way.... so I am happy to reopen this door. More details once I know myself.

A new quote from my newest collage:

It is in truth that we walk tall.

It is in truth that we walk strong.

It is in truth that we

grow and learn

laugh and cry.

It is in truth that we

I can not quite master the editing program on my computer. I wanted to crop out the blank page next to this , however ....... I could not get it to work.

I found this parking ticket on the ground. It was after a heavy rain.... so I thought it was appropriate for my sketchbook " Record year for rainfall".

I am off to Chartreuse today. I will take pictures and show you what I found!

Talk to you soon,

It is pouring......

At least in my sketchbook! It is a beautiful sunny day.... the kids are home for election day. I do not mind because I have the day off too!

I plan on adding some more sketchbook pages and working on a few collages.

Talk to you soon,

A little bird...

I have to work ,work , work on my sketchbook this weekend in between baseball games, yard sales,cleaning..... I think if all of the craziness ended, I would actually miss it.

It would give me more time to work on my art, however I find I am creating most of it while I am watching my kids, cleaning ..... doing the everyday things. It is all in my head . Once I have time it is like a flood and I am exhausted when it is done.

Have a great weekend!

Talk to you soon,

Courtney
