amanda's word
{happy birthday!}

There is just something about door knockers that makes me think they have a story to tell, the secrets of their owner's comings and goings…and what a story it would be. And if they could, their story would certainly be eloquent. My painting is based on a photo that the dad took in dublin, 'cause you know those door knockers have lots to say.

So my desire to do more is happening. I have a really long todo list in my room & I actually have two more words finished already. Plus I did some work to add some long over due 'newer' works {*that didn't happen today} to the website & finally put some art that hasn't been for sale up on my art sale page. I am going to tackle that right after this goes to publish.
{**took me a bit longer than I planned, but the paintings are up are ready to find new homes - some older pieces are steals}

I have also been tackling projects around the house. A little spackle job that needed to begin. A trip to goodwill. Prep work for a list of frames I need to get. Want to hang some art up in the new apartment. Art that I have had for ages, just waiting in some folders and large envelopes in the closet. Sad little art.

Wish I could make it to nashville for this show with lisa s and aurora. It looks like it is going to be fabulous. Plus nashville is one of my favorite places. I spent a life changing summer there. Set me on the path of my life that I am living today.
