Starting Your Art Career When the Kids are Grown 03/08 by Artists Helping Artists | Blog Talk Radio

I had the pleasure of meeting Kathy Cousart, a very talented Georgia artist, in Madison last year. We had talked on the telephone and through email and she came by the Madison Art Guild's cottage gallery so we could meet in person. I am especially excited to hear how Kathy manages her time, as she "wears many hats" like so many of us. Here's the link for the talk at 12:00 noon EST tomorrow.

Ah-h-h....Spring!

Spring has sprung at our house... in the form of 25 baby chicks.  Just when I thought I'd be moving them outside, the night-time temps dropped, so they are still inside with us.  They are growing so fast that we had to exit the brooder and bring the 4'x8' chickie tractor into my studio so that they would have room to exercise.  My husband says that it reminds him of the Star Trek episode when they beamed a barnyard into one of the cargo bays!  Oh well, it was a good excuse to move my easel into the dining room where I'm working on portrait commissions.
Spring also means plein air paint-outs are coming up.  More on those in the next post.  Right now I need to tuck my fluffy little pooping peepers in for the night!
