The Princess and the Pea: I realize I hadn't got 'round to posting in the EF blog some of the images in my EF gallery. So ... just because I'm trying to post more often, I offer you another.
What happens to a Real Princess in her Happy Ever After?
I suppose she might trade in that uncomfortable dried pea for a Sweet Pea of her own. Not that she'll get any more sleep in doing so, of course....
I'm still just practicing watercolors. I'm too cautious, still. And too caught up in the safety of coloring within lines. Still, must start somewhere. It's all watercolor and ink on coldpress (I think) ACEO/ATC blank from Ellen Million (of course).
I had some time alone/childfree today, during Open Studio Weekend . I was able to go over to Dog Tired Studios and watch both Sean P. Callahan and Annelein Beukenkamp paint. On my way home, I stopped at Art on Main and chatted with Cynthia Guild Kling.
All three artists were wonderful, open, friendly, welcoming. I learned a little something at each, and came away feeling dumbfounded, hopeful, stubborn, overwhelmed (with what I want to learn), curious, delighted.
I came home and made myself some boards to tape paintings-in-progress to out of some leftover (kinda) birch-veneer plywood we have). Table saw! Sanding! Sawdust! Heh.
Now coffee. Then music. Then work. Or paint. or something. Oh my.
Hrm, does this mean I"m about to grant one, or wish one? I was thinking about ordering -- must mean I'm wishing for -- the Autumn '07 issue of Faerie Magazine. :)

I suppose so, yes.
In the process of blogging and learning about networking sites... though trying to not spend all my time online... yet find more art in the same veins and learn from the art and artists... and expand connections both inbound and out-
