I’ve missed sending several newsletters and creating new blog posts lately but I promise I have a good excuse! The house (including my studio and the office of Jason Cyr Design) went under contract in August and we closed in September. It’s been a very exciting time and although I’ve moved out of small spaces with limited items in college and in Park City, I have never moved out of an entire house. My hat is off to those of you who move out of a house with kids; I cannot imagine! The amount of pouting that came from me when Jason forced me to pack things when I was not in the mood to do so was equivalent to 10 kids and my art materials were enough to fill half a pod.

The window is closing on Christmas orders as I am careful to ensure that each commission gets the love and attention it deserves.

A few years ago I asked for a great challenge (from Earl Reece at the Earl Smith Strand) for my show that year. Earl mentioned how much he loved the musicians I had done a few years prior and how great he thought a show full of musicians would be. After my initial excitement I realized that I was quite rusty at painting people (it had been years after all). I pushed through and had a blast getting ready for that show through finding musicians who were not only wonderful to listen to but fun to sketch as well.

Summer has wrapped up and it is back to school time! That means that my blissful time as a full time artist is reduced to part time bliss of creating and full time bliss of teaching. In case you’ve been following along, I won’t bore you with a summer recap (but do check out the pictures and posts from ‘Americana the Beautiful‘ and our road trip if you haven’t already do so!).
