"Chubby Reflected" & studio update


nfs
Recently artist Steve Worthington asked me if I would consider painting one of his beautiful bronze mice for a book he's putting out. His idea is to have 20 artists paint the mice, put them in a book, and then sell the books - with the proceeds going to animal shelters. I had a great time painting this cute little guy, which he calls Chubby. I'll let you know the details of the book when I have it, in case you'd like one.
Meanwhile, we've been working like mad-people on the studio. So much so, we need a break. So we're going camping for the next few days. I'll be back on Thursday with hopefully a few plein air peices to show, including one I did on the CA coast.

Thanks Carol!
That was an unbelievably speedy turnaroud, and a wonderful portrait of Chubby!

Before reading the posting, I thought Chubby was made of chocolate! I like the shiny reflections very much!

hi Carol

Just looked at your studio and it was a bit of Deja Vue. I am celebrating the completion of my new studio with an open house this weekend. Like yours, mine is a separate building, north windows, 450 square feet. I feel so blessed -you will too. Pictures of mine at www.janicerobertsonsart.blogspot.com if you have time to look

Is great that you are sharing the progress on your studio. We get all the fun of seeing it manifest and don't have to do any of the heavy lifting. :-) Seriously, it is FUN to watch it go from a piece of land into your studio. Thanks for sharing!

looking at the photos of your studio was like deja vue, Carol. I am celebrating the completion of my new studio this weekend- lots of similarities in our buildings. I feel very blessed to have a space like this to work in- you will too! Photos of my studio are at www.janicerobertsonsart.blogspot.com if you have time to look
Cheers
