Tonight I read this quote in an article about Motherhood and raising children.

With our birthdays fast approaching and all the planning that is involved in

the month of October between crazy work and social time, I

am grateful ( as it  is Thanksgiving and all ) to recognize the need to

stop, breath, share, love and listen.

Today I shared a beautiful moment with my son.

A simple moment, sitting in the car and chatting about life.

Cell phones off, music off, hearts wide open.

Acknowledgement.

xo

you are a beautiful person

I am absolutely in love with this image.

The artistry and all that it symbolizes for me right now.

I am using this image today to go along side my horoscope 

which is so dead on, i have to share it. But it is much more than that.

"... Use the revelation to your advantage. Added expense may be part of the mix, 

but the fix or upgrade is worth it. In terms of the big picture, 

you are launching into a productive work and create-it cycle. 

Mercury/Saturn helps you to zero in, tighten it up, set a course, and go.

Let me be, was all I wanted. Be what I am, no matter how I am.” ― Henry Miller, Stand Still Like the Hummingbird

 "... a venue that defines magical moments.

Along Highway 1 on Big Sur’s dramatic cliff lines and winding roads lies this little old library. A small stage. Rugs on the ground. Lights in the trees. Good wine… and often… an amazing band..."

There is such a place:  the Henry Miller Library  !!!???

Let me be myself, let me be in the Henry Miller Library, let me drive down the coast and stumble upon it's charm, let the days perfection be topped with musical whipped cream, let me drink fine wine and hold hands with my loved one. Let life be this magical.

Reflection, direction and choices.

I do not know what is going to happen tomorrow and

my work is a reflection of this state.

The uncertainty of life I am not sure I am enjoying,

but the uncertainty of the direction of my newest work - 

i am enjoying.

Enter studio, turn music up loud, reflect on lyrics,

grab paint and found magazine pcs.,

create.

" Things are going to change a lot, or things are going to change a little. 

Tomorrow we will see which one "

says my son

this is my ad

looking for . . .

THIS ! A studio in Amsterdam, a retreat in Italy,

a painting camp in Prague.

For my big bad birthday this year, I would like to loose

myself in a romantic setting with me, myself, and large paint brushes.

If anyone reads this and has any leads , send them my way.

xo angie.

Every morning is a new beginning

the newest painting to come out of the living room studio

my new studio, the shed ? well it is simply too cold to paint out there.

Need new fuse box for next winter.

So I invaded the house this week to finish some work for

a call for submissions from Seattle.

cross your fingers people !

This painting is from a photograph i borrowed from mr. pax's facebook

page ( facebook is good for something after all )

the name he gave it is now the title and I have promised 

an evening of wine drinking to Mr. Pax if it is sold

( it is here in writing )

thanks Pax, for the inspiration.
