I was so thrilled to be accepted into the Blue Line Arts' 20 x 20 show.  I love focusing on a large project with a deadline.  I've been working sporadically for the last two weeks, but today I figured out one of the problems - a cluttered work space.  

So, I boxed up all kinds of loose ephemera and papers.  Now two other rooms are a mess, but I have the breathing room to create.  Almost half way there, only eleven days to delivery and I'm making some visible progress.

I've been hemming and hawing about the subject, but after reviewing my notes on best practices from last year, I decided to stick with my initial theme of Desert Blooms.  I took two trips to the California desert this Spring, so thought I had enough images. It's a bit dreary and wet, so a little revisit to the desert has been uplifting.  

Hope to see you there at the reception for the show, it's always a super show with tons of variety and inspiration.
