It's about art.

After an event in the studio, Charlotte asked if I got money for it.
Without skipping a beat, Ben spoke up.
"Charlotte, the reason we have the studio, is not for money."

"It is for art.  It is to create art.  It is for others to create art.  It is about art."

Period.
"Any money from the studio, goes back to the studio.  It is for supplies.  It is so there will be a space to create art in, " her dad continued.
This summer we have planted plants to brighten up the outside, an outdoor sink, and metal siding is next.
"Charlotte, if you want to learn how to make money, I will help you figure out how to. But, the studio is not for that."
"Like a lemondade stand?" Charlotte asked.
"Well, that might be a better way to make money."

I am so thankful for a husband that is supportive of our playground, the ART SHACK.  I am thankful for a reminder about what the studio is about.  ART.  Creating with others.  More than anything, I want the studio to bless others.

CZ @ the Art Shack--- FLASH BACK---

Last summer CZ had a great time in the studio! 
I can't wait to see what unfolds this summer :)
The "big kids" were painting on a canvas...so this was her first canvas painting. 
It was an animal in the zoo.  I love the imagination of a kid!

Art, friends & wedding prep!

Tori is getting married!
It was a fun night in the art shack talking wedding, creating art, and enjoying music.
Her sweet girls Fallon & Lou created art.  Peyton, the BFF's daughter, joined in too!
The Groom & Matron of honor created signs while the bride painted a suitcase.  Wedding's are so much fun!  The countdown is on!

"While you sit and chat...pick up some paint, a marker, a pen. 
Make a mark. Draw a line.  Create something.  You might just fall in love with creating."
