Yes, after a lengthy hiatus (most of January and February) I’m back in my studio again. I’m refreshed and ready to dive in, and I’m excited about painting now. This week I started some embroidery for a new piece, and worked on the painting portion of the piece you see here, “House-sparrow.” Last night I started work on some freeform crochet for this painting, too.

During the time I was away, I was concentrating my creative energies on cooking and crocheting (very domestic!) I’ll miss those activities if I’m not doing them, so I hope I can balance them with studio time.
