Sea Kelp First Layer

This weekend I started a 30" x 40" painting on the kitchen counter.  It just fits!  Can't use the counter for eating or cooking until the painting dries; (Using oils.)  I would move it...but there are paintings everywhere in the house/studio.  Maybe it is time to get a show again, or another storage shed.  Still in my kelp series, could be there for awhile:)  Will post again with the second layer.

In My Kitchen

Some people cook in their kitchen. I paint.  It is the perfect spot!  Through out my life the kitchen has been the place to hang out.  While growing up, hanging in my Mom's kitchen, Aunt Madge, Grandma's, and at friends, the kitchen was the place to be.  

In our house we utilize every space.  My husband has his real estate office here, my son tutors and studies in the front two rooms, and I have taken over the living room, dining room and kitchen.  It may look messy to some people but I love living with my fiber and paint.  Always in arms reach. 

Started this piece tonight.  I also worked on two of my fiber pieces.  Paint is much faster to create with, but stitching is peaceful.  Today I was able to create in the two mediums I love.

Time to stitch a little more before I go to sleep.

Thanks for stopping by.
