CUTE-OFF! Heart Face!
Cute-off Entry #1. Collaboration with Isobel.
Day late, rules changed. Yes, it’s a cat. Yes I had help from a two-year old… (hearts on face). Your turn, Skaar.
CUTE-OFF KICK OFF!
We’ve been joking about this for a while, but the gauntlet is down. For the next 30 days (or until we get sick of this), a battle of epic proportions will take place.
Tim Kapler vs. Suzanne Skaar: Who can make the cutest picture?
Rules:
1. Work must be posted on alternating days.
2. Art must be new.
3. Rules can change.
First slap:
Suzanne’s Baby Armadillo.
Cute-off Entry #1.
Beat that, Kapler.
Happy Thursday!
Good morning! The sun is shining, and there’s some dude who swears he looks like Walter White in the back yard.
Back to work!

Progress
Well, despite our car being broken into AGAIN (twice in less than a year) on the day after Suzanne’s birthday, the installation is moving ahead. Here are some glimpses into the behind the scenes action.
See you at the Anacortes Arts Festival!

It’s Suzanne’s Birthday!
We’re all high on cake right now, and pretty useless. Have a cupcake!
Originally made in 2008, but it’s still good!
Cheers!

Saturday’s Progress
A few more photos from the painting frenzy in the studio, fueled by good food and too much coffee.

Peeks into Process
As the deadline for the Anacortes Arts Festival gets nearer, it’s exciting to see everything falling into place. On Monday, the acrylic bases for the underwater scape were ready for pick up, and a productive trip to a local hardware store netted casters, lights, pulleys, and more. The last of the specialized PVC joints arrived Thursday, so the frame went up that very day. And I have started painting the various smaller pieces, readying them to be hung in their appropriate places. A few of the bigger sections of the installation still need to be finalized, but it’s great to see an abstract concept becoming a concrete reality.
Here’s a few pictures of what’s going on. Please mark your calendars for August 2-3 to see the real thing in person!
