Chicken
I’m almost finished adding the final touches to the 20 porcelain hand-built boxes that I’m making for the Summer Art Market which takes place next week. Only five more to paint - and then I plan on bisque firing on Tuesday and Glaze firing on Thursday. That will leave me Friday to inventory and price my work and otherwise get organized. The art market is open at 10:00 am on Saturday - with a preview sale for Art Student League VIPs at 9:00 am.
The crow might be my favorite right now
I’ve finished listening to Eckhart Tolle and Oprah discussing The New Earth. It was a so relaxing and thought provoking for me. I have the book - now I just have to find the time to read it. I love being read to though because I always seem to be short of time and when I do have the time at the end of the day, I can barely keep my eyes open long enough to get past 3 pages.
Frog - from tadpole to full grown
Each side of this one has the basic evolution of a frog’s life from tadpole to grown frog. I was just too lazy to photograph the other side for you. I’m going to enjoy getting feedback from people in person next weekend.
Goldfish
Meanwhile, I decided to treat myself to a one day workshop. I’m going to be visiting the studio of local Denver artist, Annie Chrietzberg, otherwise known as “Earth to Annie” the weekend of June 21 for a hand-building workshop. I’m looking forward to meeting her and learning some new techniques.
It’s a gorgeous day in Denver, so with nothing further, I bid you adieu!

The boxes are really looking fantastic! I love the frog on top, and the different stages are a great idea. Enjoy the workshop–Annie’s work is amazing!
These are looking great Cynthia!
Thanks Ben and Shawn!
Of course my newest is always my fave - I just painted a couple of really cool snake, monkey and underwater themed boxes!
Love the crow, too! Saw your post about New Earth. I also listened to that podcast and then read the book. Now am listening to an audiobook of the Power of Now, Tolle’s earlier work. Very thought-provoking, though I think people think I’m a strange-ranger when they come into the studio gallery and it’s playing. Oh well.
Wow Cynthia—simply stunning work!
Enjoy your time with Annie!
Great work, these boxes are quite fun!
Love your boxes! hey are wonderful.
If i have to pick a favorite, it would be the frog or the goldfish.
I would really love to see pictures of the boxes with underwater themes.
I belive (and hope) that you will sell very well in the summer market!
Hard to choose, but I think I am liking the fish one the most.
Welcome Patricia - I just might have to pick up the Power of Now next!
Thanks Ginny, Dan, Anna and Janet - I have a new favorite now…actually several different ones. I think each becomes my fave after I make it.
Hi Cynthia, the boxes are looking great. You are so prolific!
Best of luck this week with everything.
Thanks Mary!
I love them, Cynthia! The best to you for the art market!
