Painting progress on "Mistress and the Orb"

Hi! I had a fun weekend. How bout you?<br><br /><br />Saturday was spent downtown, vending my art at the <a href="http://www.portlandsaturdaymarket.com/"><strong>Portland Saturday Market</strong></a>. I was very very pleased that there was no rain for the day, yay! I brought along my current "work in progress" painting and got a lot done on it, check it out: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5608468510/" title="work in progress by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="work in progress" height="500" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5187/5608468510_a615b892e3.jpg" width="384" /></a> Its not done yet....but getting very close. Not only did it give me something to do while sitting there from 10-5...painting live in my booth drew a lot of interest from the crowd. people were very excited to see some art in progress and i had fun talking with them about my mediums, my process and my inspirations. I think I will have to bring something to paint more often when I am down there, it was so much fun!<br><br /><br />People at the market seemed very much drawn to "The Mistress and the Orb" and were asking if they could buy a print of her...thus I have decided to release prints of the original pen and ink drawing for sale:<br /><p align="left"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5467581518/" title="Mistress and the Orb by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Mistress and the Orb" height="500" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5135/5467581518_07aa3cbb44.jpg" width="375" /></a></p><br /><br /><br>5"x7" High quality digital print<br /><br /><br>Original pen and ink drawing by Chelsea Rose<br /><br /><br>On sale for $7.<br /><br /><br>Click here to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/71933227/mistress-and-the-orb-art-print"><strong>buy</strong></a>.<br /><br /><br>And now for some super awesome amazingness:<br /><p align="left"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidopticlab/5610099219/" title="sri yantra ebru by Lucid Optic Lab, on Flickr"><img alt="sri yantra ebru" height="207" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5228/5610099219_e259c8b948_m.jpg" width="240"> </a></p><br /><br /><br>"Sri Yantra Ebru"<br /><br /><br>original 100%handmade four layer acrylic and ink ebru(turkish paper marbling) monoprint on kozo paper by <strong><a href="http://www.flickr.com/lucidopticlab">Danny Rodriguez</a>.</strong><br /><br /><br>He contuies to amazing me each time he does a new Ebru project. Interested to see what he will make next.<br /><br /><br />But It isnt always all work, work, create, work...I swear! On Sunday we made it a point to not get out of bed until 10:00am, and that felt great. Despite sleeping in I got all my house chores done including cleaning our patio out and planting some morning glory seeds(I know some people consider them a weed but they are my fave flower!) Today after work I intend to go on the hunt for some various flower seeds + basil and chamomile seeds. I think i need some more soil also. I am looking forward to some warmer weather so that I can hang out on my patio again, drink, tea, play with my cat and read some books. I have a small lil space to grow things but i try to utlize it anyhow. <br><br /><br />Here are some photos from last years lil patio garden: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4884297216/" title="One summer evening by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="One summer evening" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4138/4884297216_0bbf9db84b.jpg" style="WIDTH: 420px; HEIGHT: 459px" width="480" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4884293196/" title="summer patio garden by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="summer patio garden" height="414" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4096/4884293196_a2606f9084.jpg" style="WIDTH: 436px; HEIGHT: 383px" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4899362387/" title="Morning glories by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Morning glories" height="422" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4073/4899362387_c767dccb88.jpg" style="WIDTH: 434px; HEIGHT: 402px" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5068304711/" title="Home grown Basil by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Home grown Basil" height="335" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4152/5068304711_15e2a83b0e.jpg" style="WIDTH: 443px; HEIGHT: 318px" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><br> So, have you begun your garden yet?
