It's been quite awhile since my last post. Life got busy, another baby arrived, and my blog was put on the back burner. I've been in a bit of an artistic drought to be honest - I just haven't had the motivation to do much painting or work on paper. I suppose most of my creative energy has gone toward my kids. I've also been spending time on maternity leave rediscovering my love for cooking (well, when my 5 week old son allows it). I've felt kind of badly about not getting into the ole studio in so long - but a friend reminded me not long ago that there's "a season for everything."
In the past few weeks I've been getting the itch again - there are some things percolating in my mind and a few projects that I'd like to finally finish. The studio arrangement has changed. With the addition of a new baby my husband and I have had to combine studios which is nice on the one hand but also tough when one is used to having one's own space to work, hang art, etc. Overall, I like the idea of a family communal art space though and our three year old has gotten into the act as well (she informed me last week that it's her studio too - and so it is).
I wanted to share some wood sculptures I discovered not long ago in Manhattan. I passed a shop somewhere along 32nd Street and noticed these in the window. I absolutely adore them. In addition to the wood cutting I love to do I have always had it in my mind to try wood carving and sculpture at some point. The shapes, texture and color of these lovely organic sculptures really inspired me.
