Liam, our 10 month old has just started within the month of January to sleep!
We get to "retire" now, and have evenings to ourselves for the first time in 2 years!
it hasn't sunk in that I have "FREE" time , so I am a little paralyzed by it. So last night
I jumped right in and started drawing. Bedtime. AAHHHH.. a new found bit of heaven!

more studio things

Bagel Brothers

Snowy Day in Kansas City and an afternoon bagel is just the thing to cure a case of the shut-ins. Maxwell loves to share his food. NOT his toys, as Liam is not allowed to play with anything! They are just beginning to play together and it is so cute to watch how they interact.

studio things.....

Things I am working on in the studio. Time is so rare that I get there, that I am not sure what everything is at the moment. It will come together.. in time...
trying encaustics for the first time. difficult challenge.

naptime 01

Maxwell and Liam, my two kids whithout whom this project would be moot.

My good friend Jill inspired me yesterday with her Blog, and her 2 x 2 painting a day project.
It was just the thing to get me to change my outlook on naptime. I started naptime studios, a place where mom's or dad's can post their work that they create when the kids are asleep. It is only an idea right now- first I need to start making naptime art.

Naptime. precious. Few moments alone, all is quiet. Two kids finally asleep.

Okay, one still asleep , the other awake!!
