Fairy Godmother Transforms Studio

With a tap of the wand and hundreds of taps of the hammer, the Club Tuesday art show was dressed for the ball (tonight's opening). I suspected a fairy Godmother, and had been told to stay out of the studio.
Isn’t this the way we always dreamed it would be? Fairy tales put it in our craw. I’ve slacked off, kept my fingers crossed, and waited for this. I don’t mean yesterday while the FG was here; my entire career I have waited for that tap on my shoulder.
This time there was a Fairy Godmother, but behind the wand stands a real woman who has developed her skills for years (Tisha Wood of Casalta Design), and behind the labels and announcement stands another real woman (Mike Reynolds), who has also worked on her skills for years. Hum … talent + “have-at-it" effort = Fairy Godmother.
It is such a magical transformation that I am going to keep the show up through noon, Tues. Jan. 19. Call first if you want to come by and see it (303-541-9506), but you only get wine and cheese tonight from 6-9.
Enough about the space - the artwork amazes me. I feel honored to be a part of such creative flowering. The artists have worked hard while they had fun and support in Club Tuesday. They were busy tapping themselves, each other, and their canvases with magic wands.

Art Show Host Swept off Feet by Blogstorm

I was preparing my studio for the Club Tuesday Art Show when a storm blew in and knocked me into the blogosphere.
I had taken everything off the walls (even the pithy quotes intended to change my life someday). I had found and dusted my desk and made little arrangements on its wide open spaces. Tidy stacks of paintings faced the wall as if in time out. I sat down, looked around, and all that space seemed to be looking back asking, “What now?” And that's when the blog blew in. Just like that, my studio started taking on an alternative life – invisible to the naked eye –it became A Virtual Salon.
Whomever and wherever you are, if you are reading this, you are my guest here, so please, come in. Can I get you a cup of virtual tea? I hope to create (with your help) a gathering place to discuss our creative lives.
This Salon may be in Cyberspace, but it really is here/ there – warm and exciting: a place for artists and lovers of art to come and enjoy themselves.
Above is an invitation to the Club Tuesday Art show. If you are in town (Boulder, CO), please join us. It will be held in my studio on Jan. 15 from 6-9 p.m.
By cleaning up for this show and putting my paintings and paints our of sight, this blog came into existence, so what happens when you change your space?
Today’s question: When you clean up / organize your work area, does it make space for something new in your creative life?
