The good, the bad, and the ugly

Renovations are underway. 
The good: We found the well!! It was buried, but we found it and it is working!
The bad: There is a leak in the pipes that run up to the barn, but a semi-easy fix
The ugly: Take a look for yourself...........


..................................MOLD, LOTS OF MOLD

In other news!!!


Joe and I are starting our first home renovation! It is a complete demo job, but we are up for the task! It is a tiny 950 sq.ft house on 4 acres with an amazing barn/wood shop.  First thing on our list is to create a livable space within the barn.  We will be living in our loft-syle barn until the home renovations are complete. 
Things are about to get very interesting!


The view from our barn

Lots of happenings!!









It has been a while since my last entry, so there is a lot of catching up to do! My show at the Waddell Gallery went well and secured two more shows this year! Here are some photos of my work thus far for the year.
