A...Yes, I'll share photos of the new studio Robyn. And I'll be continuing on with the mouths/tongues. Its quite interesting in a strange sort of way. :)<BR/><BR/>Funny how we all have similar ups and downs Anita. And how lucky, to plan your own studio in a house!<BR/><BR/>I think the support we receive from ontline friends is so valuable. I know I have come to rely on people in this environment.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps we can find the magic formula for grant success and share it.<BR/><BR/>Is it the season Stacy or have many of us reached the point in careers and life where there is a turning point? I think more the latter. And you're right, it is down to determination.<BR/><BR/>Isn't the photo interesting Teresa? I love chestnuts - the shapes and colours and have collected a number of them, mostly to try to grow into trees, but also have photographed them to draw or paint too.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-2601207205220183062008-11-01T21:43:00.000-02:302008-11-01T21:43:00.000-02:30Hi Jeanette, I love your photo of the chestnut pod...Hi Jeanette, I love your photo of the chestnut pod!<BR/>Congratulations on the exciting new times ahead - moving your studio, creating a body of work and drinking wine with other artists. Sounds groovy to me!<BR/>I look forward to reading your plans for achieving these goals.

It has gripped me recently too.<BR/><BR/>Jeanette, I know if your desire is strong enough that you will be successful. In the absence of support in our hometowns, I think support from the online community is a wonderful thing. If we all push each other we will all get further.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494806312648513169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-90325719481653932242008-11-01T12:50:00.000-02:302008-11-01T12:50:00.000-02:30Jeanette - sounds like we are all itching to bump ...Jeanette - sounds like we are all itching to bump it up a notch.<BR/><BR/>I hope we can encourage each other.

My start is to set up part of our new house as a real working studio - and in the plans I am drawing for the house we are planning to build I am insisting that there is a room that will be my studio.<BR/>Good luck with your goals and finding grants.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286949470920383652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-56440165274847172612008-11-01T08:23:00.000-02:302008-11-01T08:23:00.000-02:30I actually meant the Tongues series - wonderful.I actually meant the Tongues series - wonderful.Robyn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663604160297996421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-8775576137033683002008-11-01T08:22:00.000-02:302008-11-01T08:22:00.000-02:30I hope we are going to see photos of your new stud...I hope we are going to see photos of your new studio space, Jeanette.

I'll sure try to make it happen.<BR/><BR/>Tracy, figuring out just what the needs are are definitely the first step and I know I have just scratched the surface on mine.<BR/><BR/>Wonderful support offer. You're on! I'll be watching you... :)<BR/><BR/>Today I hope to get the studio moving in motion Katherine. How did I get so much stuff?? <BR/><BR/>I know there will be lots of competition for art grants and less money thanks to govt cuts and now the recession. I just need to choose sources wisely and get the language in the proposal just right.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-87803761750304644722008-11-01T06:49:00.000-02:302008-11-01T06:49:00.000-02:30Ooooh - a moving studio!

Government funding for the arts and grants is going to come under a lot of pressure as recession bites deep.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-49032884508261695812008-11-01T03:51:00.000-02:302008-11-01T03:51:00.000-02:30I've been feeling something similar: have certainl...I've been feeling something similar: have certainly plateaued and feel like I'm in a rut.
