Ok Lot’s of Stuff Going on!!!!
Ok Lot’s of Stuff Going on!!!! Things are crazy here at Mazzy Blue Studios…but in a very good way:)
I have three shows coming up next month!!!
One is the Manasaas Gallery Walk
The next one is TOTAS at the Cherokee Heritage Center in Oklahoma
Last but not least is
So things are in high speed around here!!! I also have a few commissions that I am currently working on and one of them is Laurna’s Painting of her man and his dog….I’m excited to get this paining to her and will be working on it into the night….I will post all the progress photos later on this weekend. I hope to have it done by the end of this weekend and ready to ship out to her.
Also as promised I got my “Metal Canvas” in the mail this week!!! Here are a few pics with my dogs doing a thorough investigation of this foreign canvas:)
The above photo is of Zoe and Amelia looking at the “Metal Canvas” and not sure what to make of it????? You see Amelia’s nose at the far right corner…he he he….
I then got this cute shot of Amelia once she got used to the “object” she was ready for her close up:)
My two furbabies have kept me constant company through all of it!!! They are just the best…So we went on a long walk today with the sunshine and oh what a lovely day it was for a stroll!!! So many trees in bloom and and my Zoe loves to hunt the insects!!!
So after the walk we were all exhausted!!!
I was hunkering down at the embroidery machine when I got this pic of her perking back up after her walk to the sounds of some sort of flying bug that came in with us when the door was open…she then carried on with the hunt….but I just love this photo!!! The expression on her face!!!
~Cheers~

Look What Arrived On My Front Doorstep!!!
Guess what came into today??? Yup you guessed it!!! The rest of the books arrived on my front step today!!! Yeah!!! So now comes the task of getting them all lovingly packed and sent to each of you!!! I also have a surprise bookmark that I am including..we had them made of in honor of the book!!! I just wanted to all of you guys again for your support!!! Oh and don’t forget to go to Amazon.com and leave a rave review..lol!!! I’m just so happy that Amazon has picked it up and it will reach even more people who could find comfort and guidance from this creation!!!
We are planning book readings at a few of the local schools. If your local and know of a class that could benefit from a reading of this book we would be more than willing to do so!!!
So what was I doing before all of this excitement at the front door step you ask? Well I was putting the finishing coats on a canvas that traveled with me all the way from southern France and my time there in college!!! It is a very special piece that my high school friend Elaina bought!!! I had it out from my inventory and gave it a good look over…I wanted it to have a final protective coat because it was stretched on bars once I made it back to the states but had not been in any shows since so I thought it needed a bit of love before I sent it on to it’s forever home!!! I was done of beautiful linen canvas and as I worked with it for the last time…I realized just how awesome linen canvas is!!! I think the next round of canvas I get will have to be linen!!! It is so smooth!!! Also it brought back so many memories!!! It was the view from outside my studio there…so many magical moments there in La Coste!!! Sigh…..
Oh I cannot wait to see what it looks like in Elaina’s house!!! I grabbed the extra bubble wrap I needed to send it out to her and am packing it up tight in a box tonight!!! Hubby will take it onto the post office in the AM:)

“Thought’s of Marianne”
This is my latest painting!!! I had started this a while back and just left it for a while…I got sidetracked with other projects and the illustrations I was working on for Nikita’s Journey. So this week I picked it out and went back into it!!! I’m really pleased with the way this came out!!!
I was inspired by a Tori Amos song…I know it really does not make an obvious connection to most people but in my own mind….this is where the music took me.
Remember I do requests, so if you would like to have a portrait painted of a loved one or yourself then please feel free to contact me. I will work with your budget and you can always make payments.
This painting is currently available on my etsy site.

Meet Mr. Bear….Fish in Space!!!
Meet Mr. Bear….I will be embelishing him with beads, thread, and maybe even ribbon!!!! Much Fun!!!
This is a Triptic I started last year and had to walk away from for a while due to artist block. I really was at a loss as to where it was headed…
My friend Rob came by to visit me and he asked me to dust off a few of my creations for a good old fashioned Artist Critique!!! So over a cup of coffee we ended up discussing this Triptic. “I see fish.” he said to me…..”Fish??? Really???!!!!” I exclaimed….
So after much thought and meditation on the matter I started to see the fish swimming deep within the depths of the cosmic space I had painted last year… and so late last night before I headed to bed, I sat down and sketched out what I seen in meditative state…..
So now I have the outlines of my Triptic that I shall call “Fish In Space”!!!
Let me know what you all think!!!
Cheers!!!
