Good Art...BAD Art!

"Green Green Tea"
by Shellie Mitchell

First of all, thank you SO much for your sweet birthday wishes...you made my day! We had a yummy dinner out and the play was great. James was one of only two guys in the audience...but I think he rather enjoyed being surrounded by women.

Now the above art is the good art I'm talking about. It was a birthday gift from my friend, Melissa of Pugnotes.com. Melissa and I like to meet for tea every couple of weeks which is something I always look forward to. This beautiful little painting will always remind me of our wonderful "art and other things" tea talks! Thank you, M!

Now the BAD art I'm talking about is something I came across yesterday as I was doing some research for my new website. My fantastic Web Designer, Keith and I are brainstorming to come up with just the right new logo for Abby Creek Studios. I've been going through old monotypes and drawings from school to give me ideas and THIS illustrious self-portrait popped up. Wow...do I really look like that? I sure don't look very happy. HA! My Professor was probably thinking I'd better work on those drawing skills! At any rate...these older pieces are sure fun to see again.

Self-Portrait, 1993

Have a wonderful weekend out there! Play with your pooches! xox
