There was much excitement around here last week as I had a special visitor on Friday morning. Patricia from <a href="http://artinteriors.ca/" target="_blank">Art Interiors</a> came for a studio visit. Over green tea, we chatted about life, the art world, cats, and downtown living. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been <a href="http://artinteriors.ca/artists/rita_vindedzis" target="_blank">represented by Art Interiors</a> for quite a few years now and so I'm honored to be featured on the gallery blog this week. Inside the Artist's Studio. </div>

Are you familiar with the <a href="http://thealteredpage.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Altered Page</a>? The Altered Page is all about mixed media. Seth Apter, the genius behind this blog, is a mixed media artist, author and designer based in NYC. I had the pleasure of collaborating on a mixed media altered book collaboration with Seth (<a href="http://ritavindedzis.blogspot.ca/2009/01/inner-works.html" target="_blank">and four other very talented </a><a href="http://ritavindedzis.blogspot.ca/2009/01/inner-works.html" target="_blank">mixed media artists</a>) a <a href="http://ritavindedzis.blogspot.ca/2009/01/inner-works.html" target="_blank">few years ago</a>.</div>

<a href="http://thealteredpage.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">'Living With Art'</a> begins this Thursday on the <a href="http://thealteredpage.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Altered Page</a>. Seth is showcasing how people live with art and display art in real life settings. I sent my photo to Seth a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd elaborate a little more here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a professional working artist that lives and works in the same space, living with art is the norm. I have my paintings hanging on every wall and switch them up often. I finish the paintings, they go up on the wall, they go out to a gallery, the new ones take their spot and the cycle begins again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's important to me that the arrangements are pleasing so I try to hang them in a curated manner. I like to hang them in groupings of odd numbers, and I will often perch the smallest ones on a bookshelf. </div>

Working as an artist can be a very solitary profession. I spend many hours a day alone painting in my studio. As much as they frustrate me at times I don't know what I'd do without my studio cats to keep me company. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They're older now and spend much of the day napping, but you can be sure to find them at the window on a sunny day when the birds are chirping. Or when I put down a drop cloth, or decide to work on the floor, they are right there on top of it all, toes in paint. Let me introduce you to my studio cats.</div>

Happy Monday!! It's hard to believe that Spring is only 53 days away, while the eastern seaboard is experiencing a nor'easter. I feel bad for friends in NYC as they're expecting a ton of snow. Keep safe.<br />
<br />
Today I'm sharing some very 'spring like' little abstract paintings. They are all acrylic on paper and I painted them with my publisher in mind last summer. I really enjoy working with <a href="http://capandwinndevon.com/" target="_blank">Canadian Art Prints</a> as I get to play and explore a variety of different subject matter and techniques. I certainly don't get bored in my line of work. I paint many pieces and out of dozens, only a few will get chosen to be published. If you wish you can see my new releases <a href="http://capandwinndevon.com/brand/vindedzis-rita/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

According to this <a href="http://www.rt66roys.com/history/" target="_blank">site </a>Roy's is selling gas again, but not when we were stopped there. A young couple had pulled in ahead of us and were out of gas. The person there at the time was trying to pump gas into their car but there was no gas coming out. They were stranded and calling friends to come and pick them up. Strange right?? Cue eerie music.....</div>

I've been meeting weekly with another<a href="http://ritavindedzis.blogspot.ca/2014/04/red-head-gallery-presents-brief.html" target="_blank"> artist/friend</a> since last November. These meetings are all about goals, both career and personal, and keeping each other accountable and on track. Of course there is some small talk and plenty of coffee involved.<div>

Much was accomplished last year and probably the highlight was my <a href="http://ritavindedzis.blogspot.ca/2014/02/my-cityline-dream-comes-true.html" target="_blank">art/design segment</a> that I worked on with <a href="http://ritavindedzis.blogspot.ca/2014/02/my-cityline-dream-comes-true.html" target="_blank">Sharon Grech</a> for<a href="http://ritavindedzis.blogspot.ca/2014/02/my-cityline-dream-comes-true.html" target="_blank"> Cityline</a>. That dream/goal was a year in the making and well worth the effort. The summer months brought some excitement when I noticed that a couple of my <a href="http://capandwinndevon.com/brand/vindedzis-rita/" target="_blank">published posters</a> were bestsellers online. Travel is oh soooooo inspiring and there were three trips to Vegas (I know!!) and one to NYC. There were also plenty of field trips to the AGO and local galleries, and I said good-bye to an artist friend that left the country to follow her heart (brave soul)</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">This coming year is being planned and mapped out. I didn't always do this in fact for so much of my life I just 'let it happen' but now I know that once written down, that dream becomes a goal and attainable.</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I know for sure.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Exercise and eating right are key for me to stay motivated, inspired and happy. Not so much the eating right, that I'm quite good with, but when I get really really busy, the exercise is the first to go. I won't do that this year. The workouts are scheduled in and will happen regularly!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I need to get out!! Long days painting in the studio can be isolating. I need to get out every day for a twenty minute break, grab a coffee or just a walk around the block. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A few goals from the past couple of years that were put on hold for one reason or other will be on my calendar this year. The timing is right.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am going to ask for what I want. Step out of my comfort zone more often, and dream big. I'm not going to let my 'inner critic' screw with me as much. Look out 2015, I've got this!!!!!!</div>

You may remember from<a href="http://ritavindedzis.blogspot.ca/2014/08/almost-tiff-time.html" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://ritavindedzis.blogspot.ca/2012/06/sign-sign-everywhere-sign.html" target="_blank">this </a>and <a href="http://ritavindedzis.blogspot.ca/2014/08/almost-tiff-time.html" target="_blank">previous posts</a> that I have a serious passion for neon, and if it's retro neon, wow!! I've researched them, painted them, recieved them as gifts, traveled to see them and photograph them in person. They are a big inspiration for me and my art. Luckily, my husband shares that same interest, so when I approached him with this page from <a href="https://www.americanartcollector.com/" target="_blank">Art Collector Magazine</a> and asked if it was do able, the answer was yes. Yay!!</div>

This article about <a href="http://www.francisdifronzo.com/" target="_blank">Francis De Fronzo</a>'s upcoming show at <a href="http://www.evokecontemporary.com/Artists/FrancisDiFronzo.html" target="_blank">Evoke Contemporary</a> immediately caught my eye. I went straight to <a href="http://www.francisdifronzo.com/" target="_blank">his</a> and the <a href="http://www.evokecontemporary.com/Artists/FrancisDiFronzo.html" target="_blank">gallery's</a> website to learn more. De Fronzo's paintngs are very large and very realistic. They are of trains, old signs, and big skies and fields. They evoke in me a feeling of solitude and peace. </div>

Then I went on to Google to find this sign and learn of it's <a href="http://www.rt66roys.com/" target="_blank">rich history</a>. We had already planned a long weekend in Las Vegas (this past December) and it was only a couple of hours away.</div>

After a great early breakfast at 'Eat' in downtown Las Vegas, we started our road trip. It was an overcast and at points a cloudy day.<br />

I was hoping for bright sun and some desert heat, but it was December and they were experiencing cooler than normal temps for the area.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Happy New Year!!!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">I've always loved the beginning of a brand new year. A fresh start. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Think of the possibilities!! </b></span></div>
<br />
I've started off this new year by getting my dreams and goals for my art biz down onto paper (yes I prefer an old fashioned paper notebook and pen) but I'm not going to share that on the blog. At least not today.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'm just going to say </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Thank You</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thank you for stopping by and taking an interest. With all that you have to do, the fact that you take the time, come and visit, and read what I post here means a lot to me. I just want to say all the best for 2015. I hope it brings you health, happiness, and joy.</div>

There's still time to shop<a href="http://artinteriors.ca/" target="_blank"> Art Interiors Festival of Smalls</a>. Here are the paintings I created for the show this year, part of my 'birds on wires' series. Don't you just love the round canvas!! One has sold (yay! and thank you) </div>

Do choose to give original art. It makes a unique and wonderful gift and you are supporting talented artists when you do so. Show runs until December 24th, 2pm. and you can purchase <a href="http://artinteriors.ca/" target="_blank">online here</a>.</div>

All is well here in the studio although I haven't had a chance to get to my easel and paint for awhile now. We got back this past Wednesday from a short break. A long weekend in Las Vegas. It was a much needed break and now that I'm back I'm refreshed and inspired. The desert always does that for me. The wide open space, the big sky and the colors. Oh those colors!</div>

I am now in planning mode. Not only planning festivities with friends and family for the coming two weeks, but also planning for the new year. Setting goals both art related and personal. I like this time of year. New beginnings. A fresh start. How about you? Do you start the new year with resolutions or a goals list?</div>

I'm back with my second installment of my fave picks from <a href="http://artinteriors.ca/" target="_blank">Art Interiors Festival of Smalls</a>. There is seriously soooo much beautiful art available, it's really hard to choose. If you can't make it to the gallery in person you can shop <a href="http://artinteriors.ca/" target="_blank">online</a>. I think I'll have to do at least one more post before Christmas because new work is always arriving. And for all you last minute shoppers the <a href="http://artinteriors.ca/" target="_blank">Festival of Smalls</a> runs until December 24th.</div>

Staying focused on my art has been a bit of a challenge these days. I guess it's the time of year. The hectic pace of preparing for major shows is over. Now planning and prepping for future art related goals and holiday events have taken over. This includes paperwork, organizing, shopping, cleaning etc. etc. Studio time has taken a hit for sure.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When I'm away from my paints and creative tools for awhile, insecurities and self doubt will slowly creep in. Especially if I've been looking at other artist's work on social media, or at galleries and art shows. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Am I good enough? I'm not good enough. I should be painting this way. Why is her/his painting so popular? Perhaps I should change my style. Why am I not farther along? How come her/his work is selling like hotcakes? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-large;">I am good enough!!!! aren't I ??? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I think all creatives get like this at times and it's so easy for these feelings to creep in when we are bombarded with images of other artist's work. So I was so happy to see this quote on @<a href="http://glenandjamie.com/about" target="_blank">glenandjamie</a>'s <a href="http://instagram.com/glenandjamie" target="_blank">Instagram</a>. </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When I need a break from painting but still want to keep my creative flow going I turn to journal pages. Many artists keep sketchbooks to jot down ideas, keep scraps of ephemera, tear sheets from magazines (old school Pinterest) to doodle or scrap book. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've started different journals and sketchbooks over the years but have found that I prefer to work on loose sheets. Sometimes I'll bind them into a book when I have a nice collection, or just keep them as is, or frame them and give them away as gifts.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's a great way to experiment, play with mixed media and try new techniques. It's also quick as the pages aren't too large. I can work on many at one time and can usually finish quite a few in a day. Instant gratification. I find it to be quite meditative while working on these pages as I'm working intuitively and the ideas are flowing. Art journalling is something anyone can do even those that swear that 'they don't have an artistic bone in their bodies'. There are no mistakes and those 'happy accidents' can be very beautiful. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://artinteriors.ca/" target="_blank">Art Interiors Festival of Smalls</a> is now in full swing. It's Thanksgiving week in The U.S. and Black Friday sales are happening (in Canada also) so I thought I'd share just a few of my favorites from the <a href="http://artinteriors.ca/artwork/recent/less250" target="_blank">Festival</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Seriously there are so many wonderful pieces of art on offer, it was very hard to pick favorites. I'll definitely have to do another post or two. New work is being listed daily as it get's dropped off at the gallery. Check out <a href="http://artinteriors.ca/artwork/recent/less250" target="_blank">Art Interiors Festival of Smalls online store</a>. Original art makes a great gift. The Festival is on until December 24th.</div>

Sometimes things can get extremely hectic here in the studio with art deadlines. When I need to take a break and have a 'Zen' moment, I make myself a green tea and sit down to watch my cat Nami, take a sunbath. I find it very relaxing and a great way to just 'be' for a short while. Want to try but don't have a cat of your own? To the internet!! Videos of cats grooming a plenty.</div>

</div>
Birches, Birds, & Wires is a collection of my paintings hanging at Arts on Queen for the month of November. I worked right up until the last minute for this show and a few paintings were varnished and wired for hanging at the very last hour. It's so exciting to see them in the gallery, patiently waiting to be purchased and off to their new homes.<br />

Pigeons are about as urban a bird can get. You either love them or hate them. I've always been fascinated by them and thought they'd be fun to paint. Painted in acrylic on canvas and board. I custom framed them in black wood frames to keep with the urban feel. They can be purchased separately but would make a nice display with two or three grouped together.<br />

I was so inspired by the <a href="http://www.ago.net/alex-colville" target="_blank">Alex Colville</a> exhibit at the <a href="http://www.ago.net/alex-colville" target="_blank">AGO</a> this year that I painted small round canvases. They are adorable little round views at 8 inches in diameter. Original acrylic on canvas, I've only painted six of them, exclusively for Art Interiors. I think they will go fast so if you can't get there when the doors open you can purchase online. Just click on the images.</div>

Hang Some ART!A few years ago when we lived in a north Toronto neighborhood, I used to go for walks after dinner. It was at this time of year when the days were getting shorter and people were turning the lights on earlier, that it was easy to see what kind of art was hanging on the walls. I always thought it strange when there was nothing at all hanging. Not a painting, not a print, not a photograph. Nothing. Bare walls.<div>
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioc51jCCEwHdynAYdo5kJzbkD-zqTs81p6jrhPa0xFUCem7I6e7eOOyK1o0AqwjUYTI2Iimbne7qD4u8-LQZgC-j8hyphenhyphenKpeTEjHoQR-qK9GOzID1wawXfwEl9iRDBl7VcBNAVoqFD8GUGFy/s1600/Art_Wall_IMG_0186-800.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioc51jCCEwHdynAYdo5kJzbkD-zqTs81p6jrhPa0xFUCem7I6e7eOOyK1o0AqwjUYTI2Iimbne7qD4u8-LQZgC-j8hyphenhyphenKpeTEjHoQR-qK9GOzID1wawXfwEl9iRDBl7VcBNAVoqFD8GUGFy/s1600/Art_Wall_IMG_0186-800.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">My gallery wall, front entrance</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
Hanging wall art is the easiest way to add personality to a room, to add color, soften hard edges, and even improve mood. Original fine art is a great way to go (I say that because I'm an artist with lots of original art to sell) but anything goes, at least in my book it does. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Photography, posters, decorative wall art, your kid's art, souvenirs from trip. Whatever it is that you hang, it should be something that you like and makes you happy. Whether its framed vacation photos that stir up great memories, your child's finger painting from grade one , or a small canvas you picked up at an outdoor art show, hang it. Bare walls are just sad. Hang something that speaks to your soul.</div>

Five new cityscapes were delivered to <a href="http://artrestoration.ca/" target="_blank">XC Art Restoration</a> this morning. Along with my 'King West' themed paintings, I'm so excited to reveal what I've been working on for the past few weeks. Inspired by recent trips 'On Approach' Sunset Landing' and 'Eastbound'.</div>

I get so inspired when traveling and on vacation. During our last few flights I've been enjoying the window seat. Even though it's a little cramped, I love to gaze out the window and get a bird's eye view. Flying at sunset and watching the sky get dark is so beautiful. I've taken many photos and have put my inspirations on to canvas.<br />

XC Art Interiors is planning a move but just four doors south of their present location on Mt Pleasant Road in Toronto. You can always see them <a href="http://artrestoration.ca/" target="_blank">online here</a>.</div>
