Me, I've been mostly wrapped up in this:
Peanut-buttered bananas are the best!
I was a little artsy this summer. I sketched in preparation of a personal project:
I changed up that bear painting I showed a while back. It's finished...well it's framed anyway, and it would a pain in the butt to get it out, so it's as finished as it can be without creating major hassle for myself.
I also completely changed up a room in our new house into a working studio for me. I'm not done just yet, but when I am I will post pics of my fab-o citron (you read that right) studio!
I can show you another room I worked on, though.

This is my son's room...I think the color was called Clover Leaf. My entire goal was a room that has a touch of the forest.
I took some inpiration from Mary Blair... and threw some more paint up on the walls. They were going to be complete silhouettes, but I kind of liked the line drawing feel they had, so I kept them that way. I can always go back later and fill them in if I want.
Then I found these fabulous counting cards on Eeboo by the incomparable artist Melissa Sweet. There are ten cards, each featuring a numbered set of birds. This was something I was originally going to attempt to do myself, but then I discovered these cards and thought, "Why not give a professional her props?" The cards now hang strategically in the trees around the room, and are so fun. Baby C is always pointing at them and the trees.Right now I have a mini forest in the room, along with a moon, a "lodge" quilt and several teddy bears. I'm looking now for a shag rug that evokes "forest floor," although I think a faux teddy bear rug would be uber-adorable. I saw a moose rocker (on Ikea I think) and it's definitely on my list. Also slated for production is a mobile of paper-mache forest critters. I was going to do birds, but they've been covered plenty I think.
Whew....what a long post! I'll let it be for now. Next up: Back to the business of Art!
