From the studio to the Gallery. Today we are taking 14 pieces over to the gallery, along with small prints ( 8" x 10") for the show, which opens this coming Friday, July, 6th.

The Rougette Gallery, in Rockland, Maine, is across the street from The Strand Theater, and upstairs. Yes, ascending is a fine way to view art. 

Opening reception is 5 to 8pm, Friday the 6th, with the gallery opening at Noon.
If you're in the area, we'd love to see you at the opening!

May your day be happy and creative.

We have been working, for the past several weeks on our soon to be published book, "The Morrigan".
Looks like it will be a 280 page book. It is a wonderful book about the reclamation of property, the property of the Self. And, as with all of our books,
it will be filled with art work.

Today we start a painting for the house. It's about 2 feet by 4 feet. Always exciting to be starting a new piece.

And we're almost all set for our July show at the Rougette Gallery in Rockland. Both our paintings and prints will be in that show.

Our group show at the Badger Cafe comes down now, it was a well attended show. Always nice to show there.

Hope your creativity is finding a way to you.

It's been a good day here at the studio.

We had a wonderful visit from friends/collectors this morning. They picked up a piece they purchased in June, and are interested to several other works of art. We set two pieces aside for them from an up-coming show of ours. And we had a wonderful conversation while looking around the studio.

We also placed two pieces in a shop next door. Perhaps something will sell before the end of the season.

And we managed to get our small grant proposal put together and ready to send off in tomorrow's post.

We're also about to finish up another book, "Making Room in My Mind for the Mystery".
We'll let you know when they're available.
 
 
Ibiyinka Alao, the UN Ambassador for the Arts from Nigeria, visited us at our studio two days ago.

We had much in common in our feelings about art and its expression and sacredness. He will be returning to the studio while he's here, giving us both time to share with each other the stories and experiences of living a life of art.

Our connection with Oya, the Nigerian Goddess of the Voice for women, was a delight to Ibiyinka, who was surprised that we even of her.

Getting together for dinner will give us further time to talk and share with one another.
 
 
Very surprised and pleased with the new Ubuntu OS, it's running alongside Windows, at some point, after transferring everything from Windows, would like to completely switch over to Ubuntu.

Art takes on many forms of life, today it will weave itself into garden work and outdoor sunshine. Your studio can be anywhere, it simply depends on how you choose to look at things.
 
 
We have been photographing our original art throughout the day.
64 pieces photographed and more to do tomorrow.
Soon we'll have stocked galleries for you to look through.

Part of the work this coming week is to add an "Original Art " section to our website, after noticing it
looks as though we only have prints available for sale.

We will be creating a gallery so that you can view and purchase our work. Prints are absolutely wonderful, but sometimes is nice to have the original in your home.
