It even has a little backyard garden which is amazing for new york. I updated the post with a better photo of the painting and the fact that I scored a cool pad (trying to sound like NYC hipster…is it working?) Jana

Did you see the first version or the updated one? I had a hard time getting the photo right in photoshop last night so redid it this morning and reposted it. I think it looks better and more like the painting.

These came from Trader Joes, not my garden so who knows where they were actually blooming originally. I’ve seem some growing around here but they’re still little teeny ones. I want to plant a couple myself but it might be too late. I had a hard time with getting the photo of the painting right in photoshop last night so redid it and reposted it today. HOpefully it looks better now. Jana

Hopefully they look even more perfect now. Good luck with airbnb. It took me a while to figure it out. If you need any tips let me know. Jana

I love your wonderful digital sketches and have appreciated your leaving comments in the past. I’ve tried digital drawing and liked it but wasn’t willing to spend the time to master it. You certainly have, with great zest!

I’m so excited to be meeting you and sketching with you guys! I’m delighted to hear you’re making some plans for going out sketching. Can’t wait!!! Shirley was so helpful with vetting the apartments. This one definitely looks like it will be a nice retreat. I’m not that familiar with this part of town, having lived in the village and East Village when I moved to NYC as a wide-eyed, barefoot, California surfer girl in the late 60s. (The barefoot part lasted less than one day, as you can imagine!) I left to come back to California to go to college but always imagined I’d live there in the future. Didn’t turn out that way, but at least I get to come visit.

Did you know your blog doesn’t have a sign up by email option and they’re easy to add on WordPress? I like to sign up that way to follow blogs so that the posts just come to my email.

Off to my birthday dinner with my sons… thanks again!!! Jana

This is one of your best sunflower paintings so far.

I just this minute wrote to Shirley to see if you were The One We Were Talking About earlier today. Guess so. I saw a pic of the apartment and it looks so comfy. The location is great. We’ve even sorta planned some sketching occasions. Small world. I follow your blog and you come to NYC.

Here in the Pacific Northwest our sunflowers are not open yet, so this is a special treat.
