there are lots of things to update you on from the past week!
first up, i realized i haven’t updated all the lucy fans in a while! well, she’s doing great with the change in the weather. lu loves to nap on deck in the sun, and alternate that with naps in her bed in my studio. today i had scheduled an easy hike with a friend and the radio flyer wagon for lucy, but it’s raining so we’ve rescheduled. above is lucy’s reaction: yes, she’s pouting!
it’s ok. there’s plenty of work to be done around here! above is a quick screen shot of one of the garden posters i’m prepping for the printer in advance of my show at farm cafe here in portland later in the month. the farm is one of my favorite restaurants in town – it specializes in fresh, local and organic farm-to-table menus. a great place to present the weekly seed-to-harvest drawings i did of my garden vegetable plants last summer! i believe the posters will be up at the restaurant july 17th to mid august!
we had our weekly elemental show meeting earlier in the week [another work in progress shot above], and so many pieces are finishing up and looking awesome! sure, there are some slightly dud pieces too, but all in all working on a show with 4 other people has been an amazing experience! this show opens at together gallery on july 29th.
lastly, i got new-to-me flatfile drawers last weekend at a yard sale! $100, what a steal! my new intern, dan, and i set them up yesterday. i was so excited to find blond wood ones – so much nicer than my old grey metal ones.
but these wood ones have a moldy smell i can’t seem to get rid of. i doused them with febreeze a few days ago, resulting in a mold+febreeze smell. at the moment i have the drawers filled with baking powder and coffee grounds, which i saw online. so now they smell like mold-febreeze-coffee. argh. they look good though! anyone have any other suggestions? i can’t have my artwork smelling like mold-febreeze-coffee!
