A mixture of things

So in between scratching, rubbing my eyes and having a very serious relationship with tissue boxes (constant runny and itchy nose)... I'm trying to get ready for the upcoming art show/sale, and there is so much to do and I'm getting close to panic. Worst part is that I have to take a lot of breaks between painting and drawing, my eyes get tired from always having to squint because they are so blurry. And if this is not enough, the light we get from out side is all really blahhh, just constant rain and grey skies. And when is gets sunny, no one wants to stay in so we all run out and what do we do, yes, clean the garage or hang laundry... Of course take a moment to sip cider on the deck.

Sorry for the blurry pictures, but its hard to zoom or focus when you cant see right. But here is a paint sketch I did for a painting I will be doing soon. And below is my studio area, that's a total mess {trust me, this is a picture of the one and only good corner of it}... I have paintings, furniture {that I'm painting on} and other stuff all over the places.

But I happy in my mess, and work is coming along, slow and not as fast as I would like it too
but its coming and after this show is done, I'm so cleaning out this space, and I will get it finally done {meaning, getting contractors to come in to measure and tell me how much it will be} I still don't have my walls, and its time!!!

And I would like to make a neat little spot for my new addition for my type writer collection, I was so excited when my brother-in-law brought this to me {Thank you so much Kevin}. It used to belong to my mother-in-law Marguerite and she bought it, I don't know if it was for school, work or for pure fun to write. She is fantastic with words {and I'm sure she gets a few small heart attacks each time she reads what I have to write here in my blog, but English was my forth to learn and I do have a slight touch of Dyslexia, okay, a bit more than a touch}. But, I will have to call her and get more information on this beautiful type machine. All I know, that's a Remington, style 3 and it was made cr 1928 {far before Marguerite's time}. I just love it and cant wait to fix it and get it working again.

Any how, enough of my mixture of things. I now have to get back to my studio and get cracking on some painting. I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend so far, and you had much better weather than us {although it did get sunny for a while here and I was able to enjoy it from the garage}.

Happy weekend and happy painting!!
