Good Morning Everyone.

I sure hope you are enjoying the holiday season. 

We are pushing hard to finish up the remodel in the kitchen and dining room. But, sadly to say not everything will be done before Christmas. 

Each day we move a little further to being done. 

This week the buffet showed up and some of the artwork too. 

So, with 13 mind blowing steps and four hours later we have a beautiful buffet for the dining room that will hold our china. 

The walls have been stripped of wallpaper, painted and furniture moved back in. 

We have decided since we live near a small marina we would go with a "Lake Theme" for the house. 

Here is the progress so far. 

Done painting and moved all the furniture back into the dining room.

New buffet, the perfect size for my china

New Artwork, canoes on the lake

I hope you are finding creative ways to live and enjoy life.

Welcome, I'm Jean and thank you for joining me on my creative living blog.

This week I'm on a bit of a vacation.

At home we are renovating the kitchen and it was time to let in the construction team.

Without being able to cook we thought we would take a little trip.

Here is a few photos of how it's going.

Later after I get back I will post the final project.

 

 

 

 

 It's been a long six weeks. I can't believe we got everything day in time!

Our part was to empty all the cabinets, remove the cabinets we wanted for the garage, and then scrap wallpaper and paint......we finished on Sunday and the crew came in on Monday to put in the new cabinets, install a island and complete new counter tops.

It's all been very exciting.

So until next week, Keep living your creative life.

Be Inspired,

Welcome to my studio.

I have been getting a lot of questions about how I became an 

Art O Mat artist. 

Let me share this with you.

I suggest you go to Art o Mat website.

http://www.artomat.org/

Look around and see what they are all about. 

Down load their application.

You will have to submit your work.

Once you are approved go over all the guidelines.

I bought their blocks because for me its just easier.

 You will receive a box full and 50 2" x 3" blocks

 Next, paint, paint, paint.......

fill the box with your artfully painted blocks and mail it back to them.

Come along, I think this is an awesome idea.

It's official!!!

I'm an artist for 

Art o Mat

Here are my two prototypes I sent in with my submission. 

Art O Mat has excepted my submission for their 

Art O Mat vending machines.

My series 

"Let's have a little fun" 

will now be bought in art machines across the country. 

My artwork will be on wooden blocks 2" x 3" . 

I'm very excited about this and can't wait to get started. 

I hope you will be able to find a art machine near you or when you travel. 

I saw my first Art O Mat in Las Vegas at the Cosmopolitan casino. 

I have been hooked ever since.

Feel free to commit and share

• What is an Art-o-mat®?

  
  Art-o-mat® machines are retired cigarette vending machines that have been converted to vend art. There are over 100 active machines in various locations throughout the country. Find one near you »
  
  

• What do you get?

  The experience of pulling the knob alone is quite a thrill, but you also walk away with an original work of art. What an easy way to become an art collector.

Iris and butterfly, acrylic, 8" x 10" Jean Hart

Spring is so beautiful after a long cold winter.

When I take my walks now I see butterflies everywhere.

It made me think of what should be my motto for spring. 

"Yep, not a caterpillar no more."

Look to find inspiration in the world around you, or you could be an inspiration the others, It's your choice.

Road Trip...

Road Trip.....

 It's that time of year for planes, cars, and cruise ships

Souls in Flight, acrylic, by Jean Hart

I love Road trips...You just can't beat the freedom of being in your own car and driving down the road with the radio blasting.

Some of my favorite trips have been when we just took off without reservations.

I loved the spontaneity of it, but I also love a well planned itinerary.

I've been lost for hours, stuck in a town over night because of car trouble,

and have spontaneously gone off course.

I love it all!!  And of course every time it is an adventure!

But, if you are the kind of person who must know where you are at all times.

Follow a map and not get swayed from it.

Here is a site that will take you to all 48 states, only stops at national monuments, landmarks, historic sites. And best of all you can do it from the comfort of your own car.

Some of my favorite road trip music:

Jimmy Buffett

John Denver

Bruce Springsteen

Willie Nelson

 

Where is your next trip?
