SORTING & STORING

A question from a blog reader:

How do you sort your various colored papers? I see flat boxes in the photo, are these stacked and labeled somewhere in your beautiful studio?

I use cut down cardboard boxes from the supermarket to sort materials, keeping my workspace organized.

If you're interested, these are found at the end of the aisles and hold the cans or jars that came in those boxes. As they empty, they are thrown away.

Currently they've been holding my painted papers, organized by color.

But what about storing the painted papers when they are not in use? I keep it simple.

They come out of the cutdown cardboard boxes and are all stacked in one plastic box. Color on color.

Then back on the shelf along side other boxes, holding all sorts of materials like this box of glossy pictures I use for collage workshops.

WESTCOAST WATER

Drove along the California seacoast up to the Santa Barbara Marathon this morning. The view is so different from our east coast.
My daughter-in-law, Esther, ran her first marathon (26 mi) in 3 hrs. 44 min.!

GREEN BELTS

Green space is valued here in SoCal.
Planned communities are built around belts of green grass. My grandchildren have a green belt right outside their condo - complete with play equipment.

BROWN COUNTRY

I'm in California now. I never ceased to be surprised by the contrast in landscape between the LA area and the northeast where I'm from. The hills here are brown - they have been for some months now. At home we live in lush green much of the year. Beauty on both coasts in different color-ways.
We passed the canyons to the west as we traveled up from LAX. And beyond those brown canyons is the sea - colors for another day.
