sunshine on the fire escape…

Tuesday, April 18th, 2006

One of my favorite things about New York City are the fire escapes.  The are so lovely and interesting.  This fire escape at work is a little scary.  It is super long because it covers two windows, so the gap where the stairs are open is huge.  The long birds didn't seem to mind it.  The just looked lovely.I am sorry about the fast move.  My web guru is really amazing and very quick.  I have been thinking that I wanted a freestanding blog, so I hope you  find you way to my new home.Also for those of you that have asked, I will be selling any and all of the softies at Renegade in Brooklyn, but if you are interested in any of the birds that you have seen let me know because they are all one of a kind (I am working from very loose patterns!).  

On to the photos!

Sparky and Audrey telling the others, "its totally safe out here".

Everyone from left to right.  Peggy (with the quirly q), Joe (he used to be a fat kid), Audrey is a bit of a busy body, and Sparky the long bird that started it all.

Last shot as the go up the stairs.

really glad for friday (but no painting)…

Friday, April 14th, 2006

We had a really crazy week here. Long nights, early mornings, and I just couldn’t pull it together to get a painting done for today. I was thinking that I would have to wait awhile for fedex to pick up the backdrops and I could squeeze in a painting, but our guy got here in no time.
Fingers crossed that there are no hitches and it makes it to California tomorrow morning. We painted two huge backdrops for Weeds. And everyone is exhausted. Got the job Tuesday to be completed TODAY. And we did it. The boss lady is really amazing! One of the backdrops was 20′ high by 18′ wide and the other was 18′ high x 23′ wide. Started the second one last night. The joys of working late. I really can’t believe we made it. I don’t know how that happens. Its like the theater and the show must go on. I was here and I am still amazed.

Instead of a full painting I have beginnings on a couple. One more that needs to be stretched. I have notes on this photo here.

Here they are in the bag ready to head out the door.

Sparky outside the window of spoon…

Spoon is my most favorite place in the world for breakfast.
I love the people that work there…they make my day.
It is a ritual that even durning my poorest days I would allow myself that treat.
A cup of hot chocolate - perfect and not too sweet and a delicious buttery scone.

The long birds (so named until the Boy thinks of something more clever) and I did a photoshoot at Spoon…photos inside next week.

a little love from spring…

I feel like blooming trees are like little kisses in the air.
