Wednesday Wednesday

Well that last post was certainly depressing!  Man am I rapid cycling these days.  Today, I had these grand thoughts about unplugging and spring cleaning to clear away the cobwebs.  Totally excited and pumped to get started!   I even turned the computer off. Then this happened …

 

One more cup of coffee…check email on iphone…something needed attention on the blog… turned computer back on… decided to blog about it… well crap… cycle repeats…about to turn computer off… wait, cant post a blog without a picture!  Wanna see the result of painting the shelves in the studio? Well of course you do.

 

Ta-da!

 

 

 

 

 

It is a space that feels really good.  Therefore, mission accomplished!  There is still much to do.  Most importantly paint the walls.  Current color is NOT a good studio color but that is a job to tackle another day.  For the moment, it is a wonderful space to work in and we are happy artists.

 

Love and unplugging for realz this time,

Wenders

Studio Sunday

In The Studio

 


Despite the excruciating heat and laziness brought on by summer, I have managed a little time in the studio.  Painting will always be my first love but recently I’ve been toying with the idea of “mixed media’ing up” a piece of furniture.  As coincidence would have it, I found this beauty in my neighbors trash pile!  (Oh yes! Wenders went dumpster diving.)

Atop this old school microwave stand is some of the “media” I uesd to create this:

I am still debating on whether I wanted to sell this piece or not.  It is being put to good use as a bedside table for the time being.  Which is making me lean toward keeping it and making more more more!

p.s. If my neighbor just happens to be reading this, I really did knock on your door to ask if I could.  You didn’t answer so…well, you know the rest.

______________________________________________

Other fabulous projects going on in the studio are all about photography.  Which is leading to many exciting adventures!  I LOVE capturing the happiest times and events in peoples lives.  I also LOVE LOVE getting paid for it too. Therefore, I occasionally take photographer gigs.  Now that Jude is getting older, is weaned and can be away from mommy for more than 5 seconds, I am hoping to take more. Currently, all proceeds are being filtered into the purchasing of more kick ass cameras and  camera equipment fund.  Please help an addict out and give me a shout for your next wedding, birthday, or exciting event!

Where to find the photographer of awesomeness…

The amazing Wenderflonia team (ok, my awesome Simon) is creating a separate website to exclusively feature my photography, sevices and prints.  Wenderflonia.com will be more about the blog and life as an artist in general with links to all the places to find me.  I am really excited about this venture and the branching of my Wenderflonia Empire….muahahahaha.

There are other aspects of photography that I am itching for more time to explore as well.  The Idea of incorporating photos and mixed media art has been someting I have experimented with lately.  Time and inspiration willing I hope to do more.

This is the latest of this type of work:  here and here

 

Love you, mean it,
