Hair of the moon-dog!! ~ truly I am the worst blog-keeper in all christendom! ..... it is an appallingly long time since I've updated this .... but I am filled with fresh resolve to do better! ~ to that end, I begin a series of *today in the studio* type of entries .... since this is what most of my days consist of, I thought it best to share, what I really have to offer, so; snapshots of Stonemaiden HQ, glimpses of what I'm working on, and an earful of the sounds that help keep me going! ~ so welcome, delighted to have your company..... and here's what's happening today!
Cheery tulips, brought by my friend Carol, brightening the work table.
Some of the tomes I'm currently delving into for reference and inspiration/theiving!
Carel, the dragon, one of the many guardians of Stonemaiden HQ!
...currently guarding some tasty slabs of vinyl!
My VIP pass from FaerieWorlds festival, last Summer, in Oregon, where I met the wondrous Donovan, 'twas a dream come true!
Trusty Wharfdales, inherited from my dad.
Poppies, dried by the fair hand of my friend Lina, and sent from Yorkshire, miraculously intact!
Transferring a drawing to stretched paper, for a commission portrait I'm starting today.
What studio is complete without a skull or two?

Starting to get some paint on
mmmm.... love a bit of green-gold and prussian blue, together!
... and, the artist, more or less perpetually perplexed, to one degree or another! ... but striving on regardless....
