First Class Scheduled in Florida, Yay!

I finally confirmed a date for the first class I will be teaching here in Florida. Scheduled for April 13th, and having company for the whole month of March, I have been busy trying to get the studio ready.

I bought a couple tables and should be able to accommodate 8 students per class. I think 6-8 is a good size for the studio and is still small enough for students to be able to complete a nice mixed media piece.

Since that last photo was taken. I have been trying to hang some of my original artwork on the walls that will be available for purchase. I still have a ton of unframed pieces, so I may try to get some of them framed before that first class.

*Sneak Peek*

This is the piece I will be teaching for the class and it seems everyone is excited about creating their own.

Well, I am off to my first neighborhood barbecue since I moved in and I am very excited about meeting all my neighbors. 

If you enjoy following my art journey, I'd be grateful if you would help it spread by mentioning it to friends and family or sharing on Facebook or Twitter.

Finally Settled and Creating Art Again

I know I haven't posted here in a long time, but the move to Florida has been full of 'settling in' stuff.

I came with only what would fit in my car and realized that I left so many things behind that perhaps that wasn't the best choice. But, it is done.

My new home is minimalist to say the least.

I can:

Dine at a table

Sit on a sofa 

... and Sleep in a bed. 

Does one really need much more to carry on everyday existance?
Yes,... yes, one does. A studio is in the making.

The original garage in this house was converted into a room and I am using that as a studio. I have begun setting it up to work in as well as providing a place to hold mixed media classes.

I am so excited for this new adventure and I am adjusting to the changes it has made in my life. 

I am creating art again and I am loving that. 

Here is my very first piece of Florida art ...

More updates coming :)

As always, thank you for your patience in my absence from blogging and for supporting and encouraging me in my art journey.
