Take Time To Enjoy Your Summer
There's something about summer that causes you to pause. Maybe it's the heat. Maybe it's that the screen porch is open for business...but I've been taking a little time for myself this past week to celebrate fourth of July with family. I'll be traveling to the west coast in the middle of July to spend even more time with family and friends. I've decided that July needs to be a little slower paced for me as I catch my breath from an amazing first half of the year. I'm going to do new collection and expand my studio (it is time:). My wonderful husband has agreed to part with his beautiful billiard table so that I can have a new, huge art studio! I have commissions to finish and a workshop to prepare for, but I'll also be drinking green tea with lemon and enjoying some new respite. During this year I followed so many talented ladies from different parts of the world and they shared so many of their delicious creations ... so I decided this is time to try my favorites from them! From Germany by Duni:
I want to thank all of you who have supported my art, my humble writing here and most of all my life. I'm doing good....more than good..... I'm in the happiest place in my life: doing what I love and loving what I'm doing!
I'm celebrating my second year of selling on Etsy this month and I offer a little gift for you to enjoy. Summer Sale at LanasArt - grab a bundle of prints or originals and use coupon code "ART2014" for your 10 % off your entire order!
Here's a piece I created a few weeks back but seems appropriate for view now from my "Tulip-mania" series 18" x 36" and available in my Gallery on Saatchi Art now.

I'll be going to California in July as well. First a couple days in very hot Death Valley, then to San Diego for a few days for a wedding.

Many thanks Edi! wishing you the lively summer days as well!
DeleteCongratulations! It sounds like you are on your way to incredible things! It is so important to slow down a little and enjoy life. Summer is the perfect time to do that. Enjoy the smells, the colors, the feeling. Enjoy time with your family.
ReplyDeleteSheryl thank you so much! I'm appreciate all your lovely comments and if you not see me as often in your blog, my deepest apologies in advance:) but summer will be over in no time.... so I will be back and checking on you my friends soon:)
DeleteOh wow, Lana! The Tulip-Mania is gorgeous! I have always admired your work and the beautiful colors and scenes that you create.
ReplyDeleteYou're headed out to the West Coast - yay!!!
You mentioned horseback riding already, if I remember right...In Santa Barbara there's also an arts & crafts fair every Sunday and one Thursday out of the month, I believe. That might be fun to visit while you're out on this side of the country in sunny SoCal. And the farmer's market too.
There's also a Museum of Natural History there that I've always wanted to visit. I've heard it has lots of beautiful exhibitions and a sea center that might be fun for you. You can check out the website here: http://www.sbnature.org/
I could totally picture you getting some inspiration for future works of art there.
Can't wait to see and read about your adventure here on your blog. =0)
