June quickly passes away and I've done nothing in the studio.  I've started paintings and one drawing but it seems I can't get them finished.  There is so much going on and I'm so busy but I can't figure out what I'm busy doing.  I hope July is kinder to me and I can get back on schedule.  

Evidently, June must always be a busy time for me.  I checked back and last year I have nothing to show for June.  The sketches above were from June 2015 from a one day drawing session with a live model. I have nothing in the records for June 2014 either.  SAD, very sad.

I'm working to recreate an old Homeplace for a friend of mine.  Only two photos to work from and either one shows the house in it entirety.  One is the side of the house with the family standing for a group pic.  It's the top of the chimney and one upstairs window.  The other one is the middle of the house with no ends.  Was it a four column house or a six??  I'm still working on sketches to show her tomorrow.  But, I think I'm getting close.

LBL (Land between the Lakes) had their Old Time Picking Party this last week end.  I went down with David and their Dulcimer Group.  They were asked to come and share the Mountain Dulcimer with guest and perform Sat. and Sun.  I went down to get some photos to draw by and I did a little drawing while I was there.It was a very relaxing week end.  LBL, and the Homeplace is located in Dover, TN.

  It seems this week in the week of meetings and appointments.  Tuesday I had a doctors appointment in Nashville.  We stopped by Plaza Art Supply store after the appointment and then lunch with the Grandbabies and our son. Wednesday I volunteer at the Chamber in Erin and another artists decorated the windows for the July 4th Holiday. She finished up today and the windows look great. Today I worked in the STUDIO on a commissioned piece, I have got to get it finished ASAP. Then a meeting  for the county Fair this evening.  Tomorrow, I will be in the studio again and I need to wash my windows first thing.   Later in the afternoon, I have a meeting for another commissioned piece and I'm excited about the possibilities of working on it..  Life is Good, very good.
