Balancing Act

The key to a happy life is learning to balance

sometimes the balance is precariously leaning to the right

How many balls do you juggle in a day?

How do you measure the success of your day?

Do you measure your days

in increments of time?

My life is a balancing act. Everything is precisely measured -

work time, family time, art time....

Whew!

Have a great day

Thank God It's Friday

If there really was a magic balloon

I would float far, far away from my job.

My job that gives me chest pain

keeps me up at night

and keeps my mind whirling!

For now,

I'll just keep painting.

Have a great weekend,

Karen

New Art..Reclaimed Wood Panels

We found some large wood panels at the flea market last weekend

This is what I have created with them.

One sweet praying angel.

One beautiful angel with lots of texture, crackle and beeswax.

New paint techniques and a clean studio are a great combination!

Have a great day!

Favorite Artist Update

I've said before, Holly Farrell is one of my favorite artists. I saw her interviewed on Design, Inc. (my favorite design show on the Fine Living Network)

and was amazed at her talent. She is a self taught artist and I am always amazed at her talent. Her paintings are WAY out of my price range so I just love looking at her web site.

These are her latest paintings...aparently, she's showing in Japan. If you're in the neighborhood.....

I've got a new painting on E-bay. a large angel (12" x 40") painted on reclaimed wood. Click here to check it out!

Have a great day.

Flying Fingers!!

I've been busy as can be in my studio the past couple of days!! Maybe because I've realized that I will be returning to work soon....or just because I've been feeling particularly energized. Regardless of the reason, my fingers are flying! I went to get new glasses yesterday and didn't realize that I had dried glue all over my fingers....how embarassing!!

I'm participating in an Easter tag swap, so trying to finish 20 vintage Easter tags....complete some collages for my Lollishop and my Etsy shoppe and working on some other projects! It's going to take weeks to clean up my mess! (I'm not one of those people who cleans up after myself, I wish I was!!!)

Preview of new art work....Cutest images available on www.fairydavis.com.

Have a great day...I'm off to physical therapy...what an imposition on my time!!
