Minneapolis Institute of Arts

Hi Becca, David and I went to the Foot in the Door 4 reception last night. It was fun to see all the artwork. It was easier then I thought it would be to find our work. We went early before a lot of people got there. Kim, Hannah and Emily went later and said that it took them a half hour to find a parking place and they had to stand in line for 20 minutes to get in. She said the people watching was good - like looking at artwork! Here are some pictures I took:

My Bike!

I am renting this bike from an artist at the studios.  It's so fun (even if it does remind me of the bike I had when i was twelve)!

This market is heaven on earth.

I watched two travel shows on England today while I was exercising. It made the shows more interesting and fun to watch because you are over there right now. Your mom was telling me that you are going to Italy and a couple other countries. I am so jealous!!!

Hi Becca,

I submitted my young tiger drawing. I reworked it and forgot to scan in the new painting. But here's a post of the original one I drew.

Hi!
Thanks for taking that to the MIA!  I am so excited to come home and see it there.  That is such a cool thing they do.  What did you end up submitting?  I really like the tea-cups.  AND the snow!  It does make me miss home!

Coffee and Tea Cups

Minneapolis Institute of Arts

Hi, I took our artwork to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts on Saturday. There were a lot of people in a line that wound back and forth and back and forth. I thought I would have to stand in line for hours, but it only took an hour. The line moved along well the entire time. I visited with the lady ahead of me in line - she is a psychologist. Her background is in art and she has done art therapy. She said she has to use it just as a tool in her practice because in Minnesota they don't have insurance that covers art therapy counseling. She said that you should check that out.

Are You Homesick Yet Becca???

Thought these photos that I took out of my porch windows this morning might make you homesick! The kids are off school today for a snow day.

Fried Eggs for Breakfast

Hi Becca - I am taking our art down to the cities tomorrow. The weather isn't the greatest today. Your mom has to work and won't be able to go with, but David is going with me - he also has a visit to do. I am also taking work down for Kim and Laural.

Here is David's and my breakfast - had to draw it from memory since we had already eaten when I decided to draw this morning.

Fireplace

This is our new fireplace. I love it! We spend all our at-home time by it.

I am going to start working on summer drawings and paintings so I can get them into galleries.

Carabou Coffee

I was at Carabou Coffee today and did this quick sketch on a napkin. Why don't I bring along my sketch journal???

One of my goals is to illustrate children's books too! I love seeing your photos too! Thanks for sharing them.

dinosaurs or dragons?

One of my life goals is to illustrate a children's book.  I may need practice first...

Some pictures!

Here are a few pictures of what I have been seeing.  The top one is my roommate and I having "cream tea."  Delicious (and fancy).  The next is of all us roomies at the Roman Bath, bottom left is Stonehenge and bottom right is the Victoria and Albert Museum entrance.
