Studio Fruit Friday - Prints, at last

"This IS my happy place"

"star spillers in a cloud forest"

In lieu of posting original painting this week for Studio Fruit Friday, I've listed a small collection of prints in my etsy shop. I've been meaning to do prints for years but have had a hard time with the idea of letting go the tactile quality of original work. It was time to finally give it a try and I'm happy to say that the prints are just as lovely as the originals in their own, printerly way. The colors are true and the content is maintained. I look forward to venturing more into the world of prints (which also means even more originals coming available as well!)

"catch a ride into a daydream with a cup of tea"

I'm off to the studio to see if I can get my head into a happy, painty place. My motivation may or may not have something to do with the fact that we've been toilet-flushingless and shower drain-less for two days, getting creative about taking care of business, using the solar shower and now we have a giant hole RIGHT outside the living room doors that is the exposed, open septic tank ready to be pumped. Trying to think good thoughts about living in a house with real toilets instead of just holes in the ground....

Hi Stephanie!

I just ordered the "star spillers" print, can't wait to have it in my home!
I'd love it if you could share your experience of the print-making process someday on the blog. How did you find a professional that felt right, how does it work, etc?...

Thanks and good luck with the toilet problem (I remember having to use the solar shower for over 4 months while I was pregnant! today it's just a fun memory but I didn't find it so funny at the time...)

Fun! Glad the prints turned out. xoxo Beth

Merci et bonne chance avec le problème des toilettes (je me souviens d'avoir à utiliser la douche solaire pendant plus de 4 mois, alors que j'étais enceinte! Aujourd'hui, c'est juste un souvenir amusant, mais je n'ai pas trouvé si drôle à l'époque ...)
