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 a [...]

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, and [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 real [...]

More paintings

Well, it took a while for me to be comfortable enough with these paintings to share them. And one, still, is not where I’d like it to be. I realized, however, that it’s been a while since I posted, so I thought I should share the art and let you all know I’m alive and [...]

Painting today

Today I had a quiet day to myself. I needed that. I needed to just sit in the studio, heat up coffee and leftovers, and spend most of my time up to my elbows (quite literally!) with paint. It had been a while since I had a day like this, and it was good to [...]

Art Unraveled - Katie Kendrick Classes

Well, I have to say, if you EVER get a chance to take classes with Katie Kendrick, DO IT! Katie is so nurturing positive, supportive and loving in her teaching style that everyone came out of both classes with at least one piece they loved. Katie helps us to really allow the process to happen [...]
