| Cleaned up! |
The studio had arrived at the point that it REALLY needed some help. I couldn't find paintings, my supplies or any space to work in. So I took charge and went shopping. I bought a shelf to store framed paintings and supplies on. The building of the shelf was a testament of how solid my husband's and my marriage is! Yes ,we got it up and working, through mutual agreement, and much holding of tongues....yes, a labor of love! It stands strong and tall, and is already helping me to get my space back.

| The Shelf of a thousand usages. |
I moved some furniture around and gained some more space...I can actually get to my cupboard for supplies.What an novel concept! Brilliant!!
 |
| Space! |
But I still have a huge sauerkraut crock, that my brother gifted me with, taking up space beside my studio table...the spot where I like to sit and read...I am trying to come up with some constructive use for this mammoth pickling crock!! Ideas?!! No.. I will not be making sauerkraut.

| Nellie and the "lotta crock!" |
I am painting, in between other artist type chores and farm duty. My days are a bit easier, being down to the three horses now. And it is the season of more shows and changing out art works with galleries and shipping of new work.
AND I received the exciting news that the painting I sent to the National Society of Painters In Casein and Acrylic annual show was juried in! I am excited about this, as the painting will be hanging in their 57th annual show May 23 through June 10th , in New York City at the prestigious Salmagundi Club on Fifth Ave. The painting juried in is "Shades Of Black # 9" , one of the paintings in my 'Shades of Black' series. I am so honored to be part of this show.
But I am painting....and here is one of my works in progress.....see?
It is not a bunch of crock!!! ;-)
