shop is closed, but work goes on
I thought that I would shut down my shop for a few days and just take it easy. Then I realized I’ve got all kinds of work from friends that needs to be done in the next couple of weeks. So my “vacation” will be spent painting, painting, and more painting. Well, there are worse things. I do like doing things for my friends, it’s a little different from the regular painting and selling.
But when I do steal a little time for myself, I’ve been playing with new ideas and creating some neat little things. Here’s a peak:

They’re not quite done yet. I still want to mount them on canvas and add a few things here and there. I think they’re so much fun to make! I also taught August how to play chess. Now I’ve played more chess in the last couple of days than I ever played in the past. It amazes me how quickly he picked the game up.
I went roller skating with some friends tonight! YEAH!

My first time in 20 years, and I didn’t fall once!
But now I have to go to bed, and no more fun and games for a little while. I have a lot to get done before I start up my lovely little shop again. Hopefully, by the time I’m ready to open shop, I’ll have better archival paper for my prints and canvas paper as well! Until then, have a good night y’all.
