This and that...

Here's a little watercolor of tour Easter lily which is now down to two blossoms.  But in it's glory it was so beautiful...

I added some colored pencil to it and now think that was probably a mistake--the purple would have been better if it were watercolored.

On another note, yesterday I attended an all day "Artful Meditation" workshop at Artistree.  It was really great and here are two of my playful creations...

...my collaged box with the "hidden me" on the inside and the "public me" on the outside...

...and my "Island of Ball Trees", a whimsical variation on a project I used to do with my second graders.  It helped me capture the sense of playfulness we all have in childhood!

Painting Studio 33 in Woodstock Village...

Kate and I spent a recent morning in Woodstock Village, painting the studio (with a little help from a friend).  We're getting ready for Vermont Open Studios on Memorial Day weekend....

...our hard working friend...

...me on the hall wall...

...and Kate doing some touch up....

The color we used was Benjamin Moore "Glacial Till".  It makes the wall look sort of "suedesque".  There may be some more touching up after it is completely dry.  With new signage and improved studio design, it is going to look pretty spiffy!
