Vibrant desert set for Tucson
Wow has it been a while! I knew we would be taking a bit of a break with the baby but we were surprised with a new job for my husband in a new city and state. We are loving Colorado but will always miss sunny Arizona (maybe just not this summer heat). My last piece before the move was this vibrant 5’ desert trio for a lovely couple in Tucson. I absolutely love the proportions on the 5 footer and will be using them again!
With the knowledge that we had two moves coming up (rent for a year to find out where we want to live), we sold our increasingly shabby tent and displays as well as a good chunk of Matt’s woodworking studio. In truth we sold, donated and discarded as much as we possibly could to consolidate our sh(tuff) for the move. That has left us a little high and dry (Denver pun not technically intended) in our small rental but our (hopefully) permanent house is going up and due to be finished in August. I’m assuming it’s going to be another few months or a year post-move before we’re equipped and settled enough to start up again.
I’m currently working on new ideas, colors, and patterns to start work on my next season of work. It’s going to be very Colorado-based (for obvious reasons) but should be a lot of fun! I love that each year we expand and discover new opportunities. It would be a blast to see where we are in a decade but then I’d miss all of the surprises!
My goal before our grand re-entry into the professional art world is to share my quarantine art. These are not pieces for the wall but stuff I do on my off-time. They are vastly different from my normal work (quilts and busy books and the like) so this is my warning. Stuff is about to get weird.
Hopefully by the time we’re ready to soar again this whole crazy COVID age will be long gone (all of the fingers crossed). We are lucky enough that the worst we have encountered is lack of zoos, parks and family visits but I know so many others have been affected in so many worse ways. I hope you all stay safe, stay happy, enjoy art and the world around you.
Lots of love, Tara
