I’m finally settled in the new house. I feel like I’ve been in limbo for almost 2 years. I moved out of our house in March 2004 and into a temporary corporate apartment for 1 couple of months. Then we went to another apartment that was nothing special where we stayed for a little over a year. Then I was in a hotel room for 6 months. Now I have SPACE. I’m working on painting the house inside right now. Sage green master bath, light grape for the master bedroom, buttercup foyer, navy and celery library. I’m having fun!

I’m working on a large painting for above the fireplace. I know sometimes people choose a painting and build a room around the painting. I chose a color pallete for the very open 1st floor (library/living room/dining room/kitchen all open to each other) and then I’m making a painting to bring all the colors together.

The above painting is a watercolor I made just as an experiment. I’d never done a large watercolor. I just did a quick drawing and filled it in with paint. I need some practice, but you have to start somewhere!

Here’s a game to drive you insane - just start hanging things and see if you can make them balance.
Here’s a new-to-me blog with a talented illustrator.
And here’s my favorite book so far this year.
