And the Beat Goes On....

Well, in the truest sense of what a blog is meant to be, I guess I am not very good at it! My posts are far and few between. But my intention with this blog is simply to keep everyone up to date on what I am working on as well as current events in my little art world.
The Christmas season was very successful. Sold quite a few pieces in the 3 galleries I work with. And I am discovering that I have a number of people who are collecting the animals, a piece or two at a time. (I usually don't know who buys my work, as the galleries rarely tell me!)
For 2015 I am working on another animal related theme that plays in to a new awareness. The plight of farm animals. I have Facebook to thank for the education on how poorly cattle, pigs, chickens, etc. are treated. So I have come up with a menagerie of animals, and will post some pics in the next blog update.
In the meantime, I wanted to give you a current shot of my studio along with a pic of my newest toy....the slab roller! Love it! Before I would schedule a bi-weekly trip to the arts & crafts school to use theirs. Now I roll out of bed and cut this part of the work in half.



Thanks for checking in, and be on the lookout for the farm animal pics, which may just show up in the next week!
