I'm working on framing these three water drawings for sale.

I'll scan them and get better pics up. They will be specially priced for Philadelphia Open Studios if they aren't purchased before then. They should fit in an 8 x 10 frame. I have to be sure.

I will be away drawing in the mountains for a few days. So excited to have this time after missing it for the past two years!  Expecting to have lots of fun stuff to share when I return.

Part two of my saturday studio trip.

I arrived at Carpenter Street and came up to the back entrance.

I reached for my carabiner of keys… duh.

I had walked 2.5 miles and no keys.

Moral of this story — coffee first.

Saturday was a studio day.

I was up early and out the door without having coffee. With such an early start I figured I had some terrific beans at the studio and I'd take some half and half with me. I like having a fresh cup while sitting on the fire escape outside my studio.

All right my head was spining.

I was keeping myself from a meltdown by calmly checking off options and laying out plans. Framing is always a major decision no matter how many times you've done it.

Showing my work.

I've been thinking quite a bit lately about being more focused on showing some of my work. That means making sure I have images to post on my website. This isn't difficult for my smaller drawings I scan them and that is the best solution.

Winter essentials. I love my little sketchbook (thanks Carol). I can hold it in a gloved or mittened hand.

I haven't been into the studio in a bit. Been working hard on a set of projects with pressing deadlines. If I had been in the studio more it is likely ideas would be flowing better.

Until then I have my favorite little fountain pen and my handy dandy orange sketchbook. It's easy to make small drawings in the cold and wind, even when you have to use Blistex or Chapstick.

I hope to have more news from the studio soon.
