Today was a good day...especially since I got to visit my friend <a href="http://judywise.blogspot.com/">Judy</a> at the Lake Oswego <a href="http://www.lakewood-center.org/Festival2007.htm">Festival of the Arts</a>. We had a lovely talk and I perused all her new work...hope I didn't get too much drool on all your paintings. ;) LOL! If you're local, you gotta get to one of the <a href="http://www.canby.com/judywise/Schedule.html">art shows</a> she's in this summer. Her work is just wonderful, but you gotta see it in person to fully appreciate it! <br /><br />And last night....well actually about 3am this morning (eek!)...I finished editing my latest video (see below). This is the first in a series of videos I'm making that shows how one of my paintings progresses from start to finish. This episode shows the first stages of the background with many, many layers of acrylic paint. So if you've missed me painting live on the webcam each week, this is your chance to watch me at work....and no I don't really paint that fast (I just wish I could :))....I speeded up the video a bit for the sake of bandwidth. Hope you like it! Oh and&nbsp;the&nbsp;picture at the beginning of this post is&nbsp;what the background looked like at the end of this episode.<br /><br />Originally posted on <a href="http://pauletteinsall.vox.com/library/post/lovely-dayand-a-new-video-progress-of-a-painting---episode-1.html">pauletteinsall.vox.com</a></p> <lj-embed id="4" /> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:pauletteinsall:1711 2007-06-20T07:52:12Z 2007-06-20T07:52:12Z <div>That was my first thought when I found out today that my application was accepted to sell at <a href="http://www.artandsoulretreat.com/portlandin2007-activities.php">Art &amp; Soul vendor night</a> here in Portland....it's on Saturday, Oct. 6th from 6pm-10pm. <a href="http://www.artandsoulretreat.com/">Art &amp; Soul</a> is a wonderful artist retreat held right here in Portland in October of every year.

I'm feeling much better about things....my art, my direction, and my faith that this is what God meant for me to do...He's had this in store for me all along...I just had to open myself up to Him, believe, and trust that he will do things in His time. <br /><br />G'nite ya'll! I think I might just get a good night's sleep for the first time since last week. :) </div> <div>&#xA0;</div> <div>Oh and P.S....I just put a new notecard up in the <a href="http://pauletteinsall.etsy.com/">shop</a> and hoping to put a print up tomorrow of a recently sold painting.</div> <p>Originally posted on <a href="http://pauletteinsall.vox.com/library/post/yee-haw-art-soul-here-i-come.html">pauletteinsall.vox.com</a></p> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:pauletteinsall:1389 2007-06-14T22:46:11Z 2007-06-14T22:46:11Z <p><a href="http://pauletteinsall.etsy.com/"><img alt="" src="http://www.spiglass-studio.com/myblog/uploaded_images/mywish2-722581.jpg" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" /></a>It's been a busy week and it's only half way over with lots more to come. I actually have barely managed to leave this house this week except for to Aiden's speech class on Monday and to the post office yesterday. </p> <p>Today has been spent working on pictures to send to a zine (I was asked to contribute to a really cool zine all about altered art and faerie inspired things...more on that soon ;). The past few days have been filled with updating the <a href="http://pauletteinsall.etsy.com/"><span style="color: #ff9eb9">shop</span></a> with new paintings and prints, cleaning the studio (a neverending process it seems), and getting all my glass supplies moved into my living room for people to look through. I've decided it's time to scale down my glass inventory and tools since I don't have much time to get out into my garage glass studio these days. Painting is something I can do inside the house with Aiden running around...although it's hard and he's pretty distracting...but making beads out in the garage is pretty much impossible at the moment. So if you live in the Portland, Oregon area and are a lampworker or fuser in need of more glass ;), shoot me an <a href="mailto:paulette@pauletteinsall.com"><span style="color: #ff9eb9">email</span></a>. </p> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div>The first painting&#xA0;shown in this post&#xA0;is the finished painting from <a href="http://www.spiglass-studio.com/myblog/2007/05/new-painting-in-progress.html"><span style="color: #ff9eb9">this post</span></a> and <a href="http://www.spiglass-studio.com/myblog/2007/05/painting-progress-part-2.html"><span style="color: #ff9eb9">this post</span></a>. I've titled it "My Wish" and it's part of this week's <a href="http://pauletteinsall.etsy.com/"><span style="color: #ff9eb9">shop update</span></a>. I have another painting that I'm shooting pictures of during various stages, but I think this time I'd like to wait until the painting is finshed before posting the progress pics. That way you can see on painting from start to finish all on one post. Since sometime it takes me weeks to get one finished (because of how sometimes I don't get in as much studio time as I'd like) and then the posts about the progress are just too far apart on here. So bear with me as I figure things out. It'll be worth it...I promise! :D&#xA0;<br />&#xA0;<br /><a href="http://pauletteinsall.etsy.com/"><img alt="" src="http://www.spiglass-studio.com/myblog/uploaded_images/crossroads2-785177.jpg" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" /></a>Well, I'd better get back to my day...still gotta make a run to the bank and make another stab at getting the house out of chaos mode...wish me luck! I wish you all a wonderful day and a chance to make a little time for yourself today....sit down with a nice cup of tea or an iced coffee or get into your studio and make something fun...something I'm going to try my best to do today. :)</div></div></div></div> <p>Originally posted on <a href="http://pauletteinsall.vox.com/library/post/my-wish.html">pauletteinsall.vox.com</a></p></div> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:pauletteinsall:1184 2007-06-11T19:43:23Z 2007-06-11T19:43:23Z <div> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00d4143705303c7f00d09e76a523be2b" at:format="large" at:align="left" class="enclosure enclosure-left enclosure-large photo-enclosure" style="text-align: center; float: left;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;"> <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item photo-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://pauletteinsall.vox.com/library/photo/6a00d4143705303c7f00d09e76a523be2b.html"><img src="http://a3.vox.com/6a00d4143705303c7f00d09e76a523be2b-320pi" alt="Etsyshow1" title="Etsyshow1" /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://pauletteinsall.vox.com/library/photo/6a00d4143705303c7f00d09e76a523be2b.html" title="Etsyshow1">Etsyshow1</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> Thanks to everyone who braved the rain and came out to the <a href="http://www.pdxetsy.com/"><span style="COLOR: #556b2f">show</span></a>!
