Life at the studio-






I jumped out of bed this morning -
did you hear that?-
I JUMPED out of bed this morning
because the air screamed 'summer', and
because I have been loving working with gouache so much
these days. 
Lesson 1: if you are feeling blahhh-
change medium, change brushes, change something already!

Hugs-

Yes! I totally agree! and when you're feeling sick, don't try and create at all! ;) haha... :)
The first thing that hit me was the beautiful white light in your photos Annamaria. Isn't it incredible what a difference summer makes to our photos? Still very wintery here and overcast/rainy to boot so there's no hope for my photography I'm afraid.
Loving your new pieces - the light and shade there is perfect too :) Kx

Delightful post, Annamaria! I love the energy and the joy expressed! And I agree....nothing like changing it up to reenergize you and put you on the search again, moving you out of the ruts! Enjoy and thanks!
