Studio Overhaul
More before
Junky Trinkets Headquarters (After)
We are putting our house on the market in the upcoming weeks and I needed to straighten up......I mean "stage" my studio/office. 20 boxes later this is the result. The quote of the weekend was when my wife called in both our young children in to look at the boxes full of magazines, programs, matchbooks, road maps, ticket stubs, bottle caps, pennants, newspapers, old books, buttons, etc. "Take a good look kids because when daddy dies you two are going to have to figure out what to do with all this stuff" I think I'm kind of a borderline hoarder. It was tough for me to box some of the stuff up. I did trash a few things...not much. If your are not an artist/collector.....you may not understand. Don't worry the Junky Trinkets Headquarters will be back to old form as soon as we sell this place and find a new one. I can't live without all my inspiration - "junk" nearby.

My Cavan inspired piece
A sneak peek of one of Jennifer's new works
Our family took a trip to Angel Fire, New Mexico for spring break last week. We had a great time skiing, eating, relaxing, and sightseeing. One of my highlights was visiting Jennifer Cavan's studio. Her studio was about a mile from our cabin rental. My daughter and I stopped by for an hour or so. Jennifer even set up a easel for me so I could make some art! I have been a fan of Jennifer's work for many years and it was really cool to be able to pick her brain and paint along side her in her studio. If you are not familiar with Jennifer's work make sure you check out her blog and her website. Thanks Jennifer for letting us stop by!
