life & art recently via instagram

These last few weeks have been such a crazy whirlwind! I love that Instagram makes it so easy to capture snapshots of life in the moment. Here's what's new:

 

That's me, my new best friend Bulk Bubble Wrap, and the state of my apartment mid-July. Um, I may have been a little overly ambitious when ordering shipping supplies this month? Chubby Boots approves of his new jungle gym and I have a renewed appreciation for Mike's golden-retreiver-like level of patience with me and my business.

Went to the SOWA Open Market, bought flowers to distract myself from all the boxes I haven't wanted to unpack and the supplies I haven't put away. That didn't work so I hid in my studio and painted my inspiration wall/nook a more cheerful color. I know... my priorities are right on.

 

Spent a couple days in Provincetown, Cape Cod with my friends at a rented beach apartment. Provincetown is beautiful and so fun; my favorite part of the weekend was finding Dotan of Piano Across America, who had this sign on his piano. Awesome. More on Dotan later.

 

Enjoyed some huge thunderstorms and painted with watercolors. I like the crazy afternoon storms of summer just as much as the hot sunny days. Chubby Boots loves thunder too, which is how I know we were a match made in random-bonfire-party-cat-adoption heaven.

Went to the breakfast joint down the street next to Mike's subway stop... came home and spent a powerful moment just appreciating how blessed I feel to have taken a risk that paid off.

 

Started my first new painting in several weeks... I love it. Sometimes they just come together perfectly from the start... this one did. It was finished and dropped off at my print shop this morning. And then I came home. And that brings us to right now. Whew!
