I am starting some new money job gigs this week and I am going to take a little break until I figure out my time. How much I have and all, but first I thought I would leave you with a little photo story about trixie waiting for her morning coffee {or rather waiting with me for my morning coffee}.

And since I wont be around for a bit I thought I'd leave you with some freakin' amazing take away videos. {my favs right now are: arcade fire in an elvator no less & grizzy bear just walking down the street - it is the second video on the page.} My musican, the Boy turned me on to the site.

finally the kettle is on

don't know if I can make it though

the waiting…

the endless w a i t.

may your water always boil fast…

have a fabulous monday & a great week, see you on the flipside. 

there is a mini carnival going up in the park across the street for the weekend. I have been taking lots of photos…maybe I'll have some fun things to show you next week.
have a fabulous weekend

a couple more huntington beach photos…sea foam {probably one of my most favorite things} & some surfers swimming out to compete.
have a great monday.

when I made my list of words I just listed the words without reference to the names, so the word could tell me how to paint. Some of them I do know who had given the word but most of the words I have left myself in the dark.

Shari had just mentioned that she was looking forward to her word as I was working out quiet.
{I went back to the post to find out what word she had given…and low and behold it was quiet}
I think it goes well with Shari's way of looking at the everyday moments and seeing the beauty in them.
A quiet moment at the end of the day.
I am looking forward to a quiet weekend…

I stretched some canvases this week, so I have four pieces prepped for working. I love the tale end of gessoing a stretched piece of canvas as it becomes more taunt…it hums a little in those final brushstrokes, a bit like a drum.

I am also going to do a larger full body version of the painting…but I wanted to wet my chops with something smaller.
