Painting again

Today I decided to sit in the studio. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do, but I was getting sick of the den and I needed to be back in the studio, with all my creative “stuff”. I thought I’d just clear my desk and sit and draw, but then I talked with [...]

Anniversary, Birthday & Art

Yesterday Dave and I celebrated our 16th Anniversary. I can remember the first time I talked with him and the first time I saw him. We were set up on a blind date by a classmate of his with whom I worked part-time (to pay for the car that I had to have for my [...]

Every Day in May #5

It’s May 5th – Day 5 of the Every Day in May challenge. For the first time in a while, I was feeling up to spending time in the studio today. I walked in and immediately decided I needed to paint. I had an urge to get messy! So, I drew the outline of a [...]

Passover and Auntie Fran’s Art Studio

Well, it’s been over a week since I last updated everyone on things here. I spent a week hosting my lovely niece, Eliana, and her parents (along with Flat Stanley!) here at Casa Saperstein. The spoons were spent early on but it was a lovely time filled with family, laughs, and new traditions. Eliana attends [...]

Creative despite vertigo

Well, I’m sorry to say that the vertigo has not yet subsided… I am hopeful that I can put aside my dear companion, the walker, some day soon, but until I’m feeling more certain on my feet, that won’t be happening. Better safe than a broken bone! I haven’t left the house since my treatment, [...]

More painting and Support A Place to Bark

I am still painting! The painting to the left is far from finished, but it’s moving along and I thought I’d share it. It feels good to be creative and to paint. I’ve got one more primed and ready, and a third drawn out. I’m on a roll and going with it. Tomorrow is my [...]

What a difference a day makes

Today I woke up this morning feeling SO much better! I’m a bit off balance, but I was finally able to move from my den to the studio. It was like a reunion with a long lost friend. Comfortable immediately, and filled with excitement. I completed the painting I showed you the other day and [...]

Creative This Week

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have been painting and trying new things. To the left is the current state of the painting. It’s not done yet. It still needs some work and final touches, but I figured I’d show what I’ve been doing. It’s a creative process and it requires a lot [...]

New Year

It’s a new year. I’m hopeful that this year will be even more creative than last. But until yesterday, I was frozen. It’s not a normal thing for me. But there was a lot going on in my life and I just wasn’t able to start working on anything. I’ve done some art journaling and [...]

September 10th already!

I can’t believe it’s been a week! I’ve been quiet and somewhat focused this past week. I needed to recuperate from the weekend in Bisbee. I’m getting there, but this will be a short entry. I’ve been revitalized by working on painting some large canvases. I’ve finished one of them. it’s to the left. In [...]
