Well happy weekend everyone! I'm not sure if it's just because the week's been busy (or if I'm just loosing track of the days) but I feel like this week has flown by. (How about yours?) My cousin got engaged (yay!) we went to the Denver Auto Show (if anyone wants to buy me an Aston Martin I will not turn you down) and made a quick stop at a new thrift store. (Sadly, it ended up looking more like a landfill than a store so we promptly made a U- Turn and walked right out. It looked like someone took trash, removed any food that was there, and then put it on a table. So gross.) And aside from that, I've just holed myself up in the studio painting (which is one of my favorite things so I'm not complaining.) Right now I'm actually watching the snow roll in (you heard me right. Snow. Looks like a few good days left of skiing!) and adding the ink to one of my newest pieces.
And speaking of pieces, I wanted to share how two of my friends are enjoying some of my work. Excuse the gushing, but seriously these two ladies are both so wonderful. I met Chelsea in Portland when J. and I went on our cross country road trip and instantly felt like we'd been friends for a while. (I'm still trying to coax her into coming out to Colorado for some sunshine!) As for Melis, I met her at Alt last year through Uncle Beefy. Between her sarcastic (and just my style of inappropriate) humor, her love for rap, and the amazing warm/loving vibe she gives off, I knew this was someone I wanted to call a friend. I'm so lucky to have these two in my life!
Anyhoo. Enough gushing. On to the posts. The top photo is of Chelsea's desktop. She's a stylist so it didn't surprise me at all that it was so beautifully arranged (unlike my mess of a desk right now) but seeing that my work was included made me feel all warm and happy inside. Aren't her fresh flowers beautiful? (and the vase!) Nothing quite like flowers to brighten up a space.
And then here is Melis' post! I absolutely loved watching her document the entire process (from the unopened box to the final painting!) If you have a moment I'd love for you to pop over and read it (as well as take some time on her lovely site.) Oh and another fun tidbit, this is Melis (doing the voice over and bathing her eldest for a johnson and johnson commercial.)
And again, thank you both so much for sharing my work! It means the world to me to have such amazing friends in my corner.
