domestic #9, domestic #10

I bought myself a new easel my way of congratulating myself on getting the 10th piece in this series done. Also as a matter of necessity. I am floor sitter and actually I love to paint on the floor. I know that sounds crazy- and If you catch me really late at night I sometimes paint half lying down. I love having flexiblity to move around the canvas easily and I think it comes from being in early childhood I am drawn to the floor like a magnet. But my knee (which has hardly any remaining cartiledge) is not liking it- so I am going to attempt to force myself back to easel working...we'll see how it goes...

I think you know that I absolutely LOVE the domestic series! I will not be able to make it tonight so if you can bring
the "Domestic"cards to church on Sunday that would be great! Thanks~

I adore this series. In fact, I think I'm going to be a little sad when you're done.

So how many are you shooting for? You've done 10 right? I don't know how you do it all- 1. keep up with daily life, 2. still teach seminary??? and 3. paint 4. do other amazing things on top of it (like fundraising) Is there a secret?

I think you should take a picture of yourself painting on the floor. I've had fun visualizing it, but now I want to see the real thing. I never imagined painting that way, but now that seems quite practical and fun! :) LOVE these paintings!!!
