How did the end of the month get here??

Good Morning!

I've just washed the last speck of gesso off of me....and I'm thrilled! I've been applying gesso to my canvases for what feels like hours - both today and yesturday!! (* I hate this part) This is the first step in making 'chunky' canvases that I sell in some boutiques around town. It's the end of the month, so I'm making a mad dash to the finish line to make good on my finances:) Been there? I often LIVE there because I'm a very good procrastinator:)

Here is a picture of what happens when I run out of room in my studio:) My foyer floor becomes a mosaic pattern of canvases. Not very fun for the family to live around.....

I need more space:) Sandra and I have been keeping our eyes out for a good WAREHOUSE space that we could share with some other artists - we've looked at few spaces ...and we think we stumbled on something fabulous last week. (Yea!!) * Now we're just praying about REALLY doing it, and where the $$ would come from to start the endeavour. It's all we can do to keep our minds on our work and not DREAM about every little inch of the remake to the space:)

Hehe!! I also threw in a few extra canvases so that I could do a little Christmas shopping this weekend at the fabulous 'once-a-month" flea Market in Canton, Texas.(* THAT is my inspiration!)

Now...if I can just BUCKLE DOWN and paint all these by Friday...I'll be in great shape. This procrastination thing worked a lot better for me when I wasn't pregnant!! This small octopus inside  of me has a definite opinion about how long I can sit in one spot ~ making it very difficult to just knock it all out in one good sitting. I'll have to paint, rest, paint, rest, etc.....so I might as well not even get out of my jammies:) Maybe....THAT does sound like a good week eh?

Tootles, Debra
