God bless a good rainy day.  An indoor day.

I bought more frames.  I spent the day reworking then framing the encaustic & collage target paintings, the ones that I’d created last year.  They are 5″ x 7″ hardboards mounted on 8″ x 10″ chalkboard.  I will photograph them tomorrow then post the results.

I boxed up (with the boxes from the frames) a bunch of books I’m planning to sell, part of my attempt to purge/de-clutter – I’m in the process of getting rid of things stored in the basement to make room for more art storage.  Eventually, I will sell more art thereby having space to make more (or buy a bigger house).

I also finished my third reread of The Alchemist by Paul Coelho.  I will be writing a book report in a bit – I need the experience to digest.  It felt different this time because I have had more life experiences and am more attuned to esoteric language.

In addition, I’m preparing for the art show at East Syracuse Free Library.  I created the information sheet/price list.  The installation is scheduled for May 1, 2026.  The plan is to show the encaustic trees AND the new encaustic heart paintings.  They will be resting on table easels and displayed at the top of the bookshelves.

What did you do today???
