on my studio table
prepping some larger panels about a week ago
Monday, this has changed quite a bit already, but I don’t have a photo of the latest. I kind of wish I had stopped at this point though- liking this much better than what I have now. It’s currently in the ugly, good lord what did I do to this phase
My daughter and niece are on spring break and I had to clean up as I knew I would have kids in my studio this week. My tables do not look like this anymore.
My niece was a studio assistant for a day! She helped me gesso over some old acrylic paintings. Painting some large canvases in acrylic is in my very near future. Excited for a bit of change. My Grace is painting on her easel on the bottom left.
I told my niece to do whatever she wanted on 6 canvases with the only instruction of “cover it up, here’s the gesso”. She had a ball.
That night I just had to get back in the studio after the kids went to bed. Being around the acrylics inspired me to work on some panels that will be bound into journals. This panel is titled “A New Day”, 6×8 inches, acrylic and collage.
Bridgette,
Your last image just wonderful. One of my favorites!
Thanks Mary! I've had that image of the trees for years and I finally figured out how I needed to use it. Good lesson in never give up!
love the panel "A New Day". Like even the gesso covered piece! :)
Thanks trish
Family day in the studio. Love it!
yes, we have lots of family days in the studio! Unfortunately I'm usually just cleaning.....but I guess that is productive as it always need to be done. I'm such a messy creator
Looks like your niece had a blast with the gesso! 'A New Day' is exquisite, and so is your adorable daughter!
She did! She was so proud of her work and that she could help me. Thank you

Kids in the studio always warms my heart. As for your A New Day creation - I keep having to go back and look at it again and again. It is very beautiful!
Thanks Kim. it's a good energy in there for sure. Have I told you how much I love your work? I'm sure I have, but I'll just reiterate. I always get excited when your blog shows up in my feed. Thanks for visiting!
