Studio Views

Started lots of small pieces on paper this week in prep for my upcoming shop update early next month. Along the way you'll get to see a few peeks here and there. :)

My kiddo is home from school today (it's the annual teacher's retreat, so no school yesterday or today) so working in the studio has been tough. Him being home is too distracting for me to really be able to work, as my studio is open to the downstairs and without a door I can't get any quiet. Gotta invest in some good ear plugs or noise canceling headphones 'cause listening to music while I paint like I used to has started to hinder my process instead of help....I think because these new abstract works require me to go deep within myself and the music distracts me from that. 

I'd love to hear from you, so please leave me comment on this post or email me at studio@pauletteinsall.com

Working in the studio doesn't always mean painting

I was busy in the art studio today prepping paper for some small works I plan to start on Wednesday...which is my next work day since I'm one of the chaperone's for my son's school pumpkin patch trip tomorrow (so glad his new rain boots arrived today, as things are quite muddy and wet here in Portland at present). Then I was off to the framing store to pick up some more d-rings and picture wire to wire up a recently sold painting for a local collector. Being a professional artist isn't all about creating. There's so much more that goes into it behind the scenes that you don't ever see.

I've decided to start sharing more of this part of my life...the day to day life of an artist...in addition to the pictures of my art. Some will be shared here on my public blog, but if you're interested in seeing a more in depth look behind the scenes, you can sign up for my Insider Circle newsletter here: www.pauletteinsall.com/newsletter-sign-up

P.S. The two paintings on the bottom of this pic will be available during my next shop update at the end of this month. To get first dibs, be sure to join my newsletter (see link above).
