The application is complete. I am committed. This October I will be participating in our county wide Open Studios Tours.  I will open my home and studio for two solid weekends to the public. This is my first venture into the world of capitalism!! I am a working artist and having said that I am deep in production!! Producing daily works of art....pondering tomorrow's work...imagining and anticipating the task ahead to prepare for this event. 

To calm the mind, I go to my easel. It is really magic. I do not think when I paint. I just paint. I put down my mark and then respond to that mark with another mark and so on.  I step back and look...I look outside up to the clouds for inspiration....a sip of coffee...pet the cat...no thought...simple.
