Other people's studios.

Been busy painting lately, both in my usual location and in other people's studios. For example, I'm subletting a friend's studio for part of the summer, and the change of scenery is definitely nice... not to mention the large amount space and the beautiful north light. It's pleasant, and there are new things to paint, yay! Including this chair:

Back from a break, but not broken.

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted here... probably because it's been super duper crazy busy. In a good way! Ok, so let me try to get you up to date as quickly as possible: first, John and I went to Paris...

...and also to Colmar...

...and I showed some paintings in Wilmington...

...and went landscape painting with friends...

...then I went to the Portrait Society of American conference here in Philly...

...then John and I adopted some kittens...

...and John and I went to NYC to see some artist friends...

...and have gone to see some art here in Philly as well...

...and all the while I've been working on some of my own paintings, of course...

So... been BUSY! But in a good way, as you can see.

More in-depth updates soon, once I have a moment!
