The last few weeks have not left me much time to paint. I went to an Art Business Workshop in Denver hosted by Alyson Stanfield, Art Biz Coach. It was a fabulous two days and I got so much from her presentations. I would highly recommend the workshop if you can make your way to Denver next year. I believe she said the workshop would be in November of 2014. She offers so much and she is all about helping artists and their businesses. Alyson's website is http://www.artbizcoach.com/.
When I got home, I came down with the flu, and am still under the weather. My friend and fellow painter, Ming Franz gave me a good Chinese recipe for the flu:
1. Ginger: peel the skin and slice in small pieces, cook in 3 cups of water for a half hour
2. Turn the fire off, add lemon juice and a slice of apple and pear and black tea
3. Cover for a half hour
4. When the water is warm or cool put honey in it.
It seems to be helping!
I painted this before I left for Denver. The blue and white teapot comes from my mother-in-law and I never tire of painting it. Who doesn't love blue and white? In fact, she gave me quite a collection of blue and white before she passed on. Somehow, getting sick and then with Ming's recipe for her healing tea seemed the appropriate time to post the painting.
