What do you do when you don’t have time to spend in your studio? I return to a personal mantra I came up with back when I was juggling the demands of raising children. “Studio time is first. The rest will follow.” If I didn’t put on blinders to the demands of everyday life, I doubt I would ever get into the studio.

What a difference a few uninterrupted days in the studio can make! I’ll let my pictures show the progress.

Last week I had a bunch of petals in various stages of completion, the background finished, and general sense of where I was going to attach the petals.
A couple of days in the studio and viola!!

I’m not done yet. The piece feels off to me. My current thought is to add a few 3D hydrangea leaves to for balance, contrast and to fill in the gaps.
I am linking up with Nina Marie’s Off the Wall Fridays.
