Studio Love

Sometimes the studio is a difficult place to be.
Right now, however, after a long Winter, I am loving this room of my own, and the freedom, security and nourishment it gives to me and my work. The monkey was a surprise discovery (and reward for looking up!) as I approached the studio today. The wildflowers (reward for looking down) were nearby, leggy and abundant by the railway fence.
Happy, happy girl.

Sugar's Catch

Sugar

This lithe being, a creature simultaneously intelligent and absurd in the extreme, is Sugar, the Hungarian Viszla. I have known her for almost four years, but only realised this week that that knowledge goes right out to my fingertips - what a joyous discovery!
