Beautiful Artwork by Suzanne Wolcott & Leanne Ellis

The Art Study is a beautiful little store in University Village that sells works by different artists.  I fell in love with these cards by two women artists.  This first one is by Leanne Ellis from Swansea, South Wales.  The second one is by Suzanne Woolcott from Glasgow, Scotland.  I bought these to frame and hang in my studio.  I love that they are both so beautiful but slightly melancholy too.  They make me feel very calm. 

Surprise in my Backyard

This morning my husband found a cat was grooming herself in our backyard.  We were so charmed, we snapped pictures of it.  She must have heard the shutter go off because then she looked right at me.  No fear, no scurrying away.  She just stared at me for awhile.  Then she went back to grooming.  Later, when I tried to open the door, she gently padded away and burrowed herself through the hole under the fence.  I hope she comes back.

Automatic Lettering Pen

I've been going a little nuts with the automatic lettering pen.  It takes up a ton of ink, but is so much fun!  I love the orange.  It's so bright and unconventional.

Thank you Signs

Here are some before and after shots of signs I am working on.  Wedding signs to put up at the reception or stick on the back of the getaway car.

So Cool! You have to see this!

 

This is a Japanese commercial for a cell phone, I think.  I wonder how long it took them to build all of this in the woods.  It made me feel so zen. 

k.d. Lang

Amazing!  I knew k.d. Lang was a great singer, but when I heard this, I was just blown away.  Love the song too. 

Cherry Blossoms!

April always reminds me of cherry blossoms.  It makes me think of D.C. and how gorgeous the tidal basin is this time of year.  This year, sadly, it makes me remember Japan and how much they are struggling with hit after hit.  They are in my prayers and thoughts.
