and P O O L
whew! so our pool suffered a fatal tear over the winter - and combined with some other salted, rusted parts we kind of agreed to do a pool-less summer.
but then i got sad. so we scrambled and scraped and PULLED IT TOGETHER
seems especially important to find space for a little summertime joy. i resist scheduling much during the summer i need the ease and large swaths of time to just follow my nose. and luxuriate in our pip home from school and all these things.
and because of this, it’s absolutely the optimum time to work with me on custom pieces. summer is when i can give my deepest and fullest focus not pulled by seasonal prep etc etc. the pace is eased. i’m about to wrap up a couple of customs that i can’t wait to share with you all they are so very moving and thoughtful and a complete honor to work on and with. also in the planning stage of another very meaningful piece - i’ve said it before i’ll say it now it means the world to me the trust and invitation to celebrate and commemorate people and events with you. my heart. my HEART. and soul and alma. thank you. truly.
i know gil feels the same - he pours himself in his commissioned portraits for the same reasons. whooosh and pour of himself he does. right now he’s working on a really gorgeous project, an album cover for one of our all time faves. watch this space for the release. and in terms of his studio process and schedule, this is actually THE time to get on his docket for holiday black velvet portrait delivery. at least before a rush charge is added. keep in mind that scheduling with both of us can (of course) be paid in full, or 60% down with the balance due upon project completion.
ok. today will be a little moody for swimming, so i’m going to time my dip accordingly. tomorrow and the next day, tho, look like summertime perfection so forgive any slomo responses until later this week.
