Clara R.Meek: Living the Good Life in Boerne


Clara Robinson Meek

One of Clara's dreams was to have her own personal retreat or studio where she could work and be creative. Thanks to her husband, Don Meek, she now has that dream studio in her backyard and she is sharing some of her work with us.








Clara's studio in Boerne






Enjoy: Art by Clara



















































Clara's dog Murray made a previous debut on the blog when he and Bogart dropped by in the form of a Get Well card for Noah. (Monsters Among Us .... November 5, 2007)









Now we see the real Murray admiring himself in Clara's work.

I really liked seeing a picture of my friend Murray. I have the portrait card he and Bogart sent to me I after I was hurt in my box of keepsakes ... along with my squeaky chew toys and "safe" bones and old socks ... all my favorite things! Perhaps one day I'll get to meet them ... and their parents, Clara and Don ... and we can all frolic together in the hills around Boerne!

Clara, Yahn and I loved seeing your artwork, and your studio. I think Yahn may be a tad jealous that you have such a super place to work and think and just let the creative juices flow. I think it's giving him ideas for the future. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind having such a space of MY own.... Oh, Yahn darling....)O(

My first love is abstract expressionism. The three top photos are works in progress. I usually have at least 4 things going at once. My work is more about the process and elements and principles. I have only completed 2 paintings because they keep evolving. I'm having fun with it. If anyone likes any of it, that would be a bonus.I'm more proud of the studio itself than what I'm doing inside it. Don built it completely by himself. At the time he was building it, I was busy building back my own health, energy & stamina. I would normally have been hands on from bottom to top. The studio is a beautiful gift for me and I savor it.

Clara, I love the studio! It fits in perfectly with your home and with the wonderful landscaping that Don provided. He is quite the artist too. Open house anytime soon?oh...what is the picture with all the circles?So glad you are finally painting again.

Clara, I love the work that you have done just as I love your house and backyard and the studio. Keep sharing with us!
