.... this and that ....

i have updated my book list for 2011 ... i am well into the 60s .... i'll surely make 100 by the end of the year ...

i have actually been in my art room multiple times in the past few weeks ... in.the.art.room..... must mean summer is drawing to a close ... my big kids started having school obligations so my little.e.beck.artist and i spent some time on some crafts ... and some tidying ... now i really need to get organized if i'm going to get serious about some art time ....

i have a deadline, august 29th, for the fifth year anniversary of the deadline painting group on flickr ....

allison and i are painting together this week ....

i'm doing a tiny show in october ... so i need to get some pieces finished DESPERATELY ...

not to mention, the shop that's carrying my work locally, reinspiration, is moving from a good location (near forsyth fabric and ikea for y'all in the ATL) to a great location (virginia highlands area) .... so i need some fresh work for there as well ... and i have a pal opening a bakery and she want some cards ... like birthday cards to go with the cake or cupcake you are buying ....
