Three More Almost Finished
The push to be ready for ART in The Park this weekend continues! I've got to keep this post short as it's already after 8 pm and I'm still working. It's been a cool rainy day and paint is slow to dry but nothing that can't be helped along by a little blast from the hairdryer.
These are three pieces that had been in various states of "started, but not finished" that I'm determined to have ready for the show this weekend.
I was raised on a family farm in Ontario, Canada. As a child I tramped through the fields, hid in big old maple trees and drew and read and dreamed. I've been blessed with a patient husband who continues to surprise and support me. Together with our four kids we have loved and lost the likely assortment of dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, lizards and rodents that come with the territory.
For more years than I like to count, I was a "non practicing artist". As the poets say, the work paid the bills but starved the spirit. With those days behind me, here I am, finally, thankfully, the artist and domestic goddess I just know I was born to be.
