Spent saturday with my pal photographing a body of work that was too big to scan. It's exciting to think about getting this work on the web. It's also cool to think about the whole process of documenting.

The time moves quickly when you have a really good photographer and you are prepared. Yet, you have the time to consider each piece you shoot and become familiar with it again.

My studio is clean and quiet and looking forward to getting back to work. This is a shot looking in through my new doorway. I was just turning on all the lights and setting out some snacks. The event is a great way to get the studio in shape for some new work. I look to be back in there this week.

The work I selected to present was considered and quiet.

That's over.

Now to start some new drawings.

Here's a shot at my new drawing space. I brought a new drawing board where I can mount papers and move the board around. It also has a smooth surface; that's very helpful.

I made small drawings and many sketches for new larger drawings I'm planning to do in the studio.

Finally art is making its way onto the drawing walls! Five small drawings that I started work on and I have a sixth. They like the new space. In the right corner of the shot is Bramble Ramble recently show at 3rd Street Gallery.

I'm finding drawing supplies that will go with me on the trip to the woods. Now I can actually find my stuff. I expect to be ready for Open Studios. (A new post on that soon.) It's starting to feel and look like my studio. I'll be away for a bit. No new posts until I return from the cell and technology free zone.

Answered the call to participate in this concept project. I've received my phrase and I'm working on my photographic expression. I hope you'll put this date on your calendar and will come support the collective. Let's hope I make it.

Excited to have one of my drawings selected for this juried show. My work was one of only a handful of abstract works. It was a glorious evening in West Chester. If you are out in that neck of the woods stop by and check out the show.

Working madly to get my studio ready for POSt (Philadelphia Open Studio Tours). This is crazy since it's a whole new studio. I've been planning, painting, constructing for weeks. Finally. I have a rough and workable plan for the entrance to the space. I'll be reusing two doors from the old design studio.

I love planning spaces. Especially ones that allow me to do my work in comfortable and efficient ways. Each new plan is an adjustment of my preferences. This shows the new position of my glass counter. It gives me my second drawing wall.

Today I went to my studio at 10 am. It was already 76 degress. I spent 9 hours there. How? I have an air-conditioner! I now have a studio that I can work in 12 months. I don't have to run away in the dog days of summer. Of course that means no excuses - just go and make some art.

So, I guess that's what I'm going to do.

If I could find my camera there would be some photos.

Seen my camera?
