We are back from the beautiful Canadian Rockies. I will post a formal post on here when I have time. Until then, Facebook photos will have to do.

When we could knock on each other’s doors unannounced

May 5th, 2009

cartoon-come-out-and-playSince I’ve left college, I’ve been thinking about the proposition of when it’s appropriate to stop by unannounced to people you know and people you do not know that well. The epiphany came recently–now that I own a house. There has been a hole in my life since leaving college. I’m happily married, but I miss having 20+ guys on a hall that I could talk to at any time.

It’s been a while since I have posted here on Llama and Lamb. One of the reason is because I have become active on Twitter (@smjdesign). Yes, that thing everybody is talking about. Speaking of Twitter, earlier this week I tweeted:

Action, Unification: A Lenten Journey

March 8th, 2009

Currently, my recent work is displayed close to home for all my Kentucky friends and fans.  During the season of Lent (February 25, 2009 through April 6, 2009) the series Action Unification and the mini series, Morning Promise, will be on display at the Asbury Theological Seminary in the gallery and in the foyer of McKenna Chapel.

For more information or to see photographs of the exhibit or the talk I gave in KY on March 5, 2009 go to RachelSteely.com

Breaking out of the Shell

March 3rd, 2009

I am posting three new eggshell paintings in series, Morning Promise.  Although the majority of the painting was done last fall I have recently added the final layers to three new eggshell paintings.  These paintings are similar to the eggshell painting that was posted in November.  They create a mini series where I investigated the beauty of contrived patterns of broken shells.
