A mixed Bag of talking and cooking

This is a mixed media piece I did on board awhile ago.  I have a thing for birds who dont look
like the average bird.

I have been in a art slump the past few months, it seems like I will do anything but do art.  I go down to the studio with intent, but all I do is move stuff around, throw stuff out, and dont make any
great marks on paper.  I think alot of people go through this or I hope a lot of artists have moments like this.  Because it makes me want to just pack it all in and move on.

Today I am prepping for dinner tomorrow, I am having my mother inlaw and my daughter and her husband.  I am making Lasagna in the crock pot, I have made this before and its delicious.  Sure there is some prep work but when you make Lasagna there always is.  I am having Cesar Salad, and for
dessert the most delicious thing ever, Brownie Cheesecake, so easy to make.The base is actually a brownie mix, so easy. Tonight its back ribs and rice pilaf. I saw a online video of them made in a crockpot with a can of root beer, and some bbq sauce.  Now I was going to make these, but there is
so much fat on ribs, that I usually simmer them on top of the stove, to make some of the fat, disappear. and then cook them in the oven.  So i am going with my method.

Also I hope to make it to the art store, for some much needed inspiration.  I go in there and soak in all the art supplies and hopefully I will feel the need to paint, or draw.

I am linking this bird to paint party Friday which I am joining again http://paintpartyfriday.blogspot.com

Ok enough whining and talking about food, now that I have put you in a coma, dont forget to
come back for more exciting talk from me.
