		<title>Dreambird Art</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve spent most of the entire month of May writing a business plan for my art business.  I didn&#8217;t think it was going to be all that hard.  I&#8217;m pretty good at visualizing what I want and I&#8217;m a decent writer.  But figuring out every little detail of every expense that will propel me into [...]]]></description>

		<title>the aesthetic appeal of birds and biology</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My recent move to a new residence took the wind out of my sails for a bit, especially since I fell prey to a cold almost immediately following my landing. The necessity of making the bills always prevails, so there&#8217;s been more time catching up with web clients and planning classes than in the studio [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Feathered Nest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been most of a month since my move, but the physical requirements of making it all happen put my body in such a state of exhaustion that it&#8217;s taken me this long to get back on track. First of all, I am not one who can live out of boxes for any amount of [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Studio, New Home, New Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve created any updates&#8230; not because I don&#8217;t have anything going on, mind you. More likely, I have TOO much going on, and not enough time to write about it. First of all, I finally decided I&#8217;d had enough of trying to get anything done in my dreary basement studio, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Word is Out and I&#8217;m IN (We&#8217;Moon Calendar!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago, I submitted several images for the publication of the 2011 edition of We&#8217;Moon calendar. I&#8217;ve just found out that two of my images will be featured in the datebook! . &#8220;Blooming Meditation&#8221; and &#8220;Aqua Bird Dream&#8221; have been some of my more popular sellers whenever I sell my prints or note-cards, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beveled Glass Prints</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m finally done with Christmas shows, and am resting up from the exertion of cranking out pendants and prints to sell.  I&#8217;ve started a new product that I&#8217;m quite happy with and will add to my store soon.  In the meantime, here&#8217;s a glimpse of my new &#8220;altar pieces&#8221;, which are prints mounted to board, [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Show of &#8220;Reverence &amp; Reverie&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just finished mounting a show of artworks with the artist Amy Livingstone.  The show is located at the Doll Gardner Gallery (within the West Hills Unitarian Universalist Fellowship). Here&#8217;s our blurb for the show: Synchronicity brought Robin Urton and Amy Livingstone together, leading to an awareness of a shared artistic vision rooted in reverence for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Primordial Slumber</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Months have led up to a recent &#8220;breakthrough painting&#8221; that I feel really proud of sharing with everyone. I feel like a lot of synchronistic events led up to the birthing of this one. A recent impulse led to taking a solo trip to the Oregon coast. As soon as I began walking the path [...]]]></description>

		<title>Five Days of Focus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(my discoveries at art camp) For the past month, my energy has been consumed by creating websites, teaching classes, and cranking out jewelry and reproductions for art fairs. In the first week of August alone, I did 3 fairs (in Portland, Sellwood, and on the Oregon coast, in Yachats). Summer is the time for this and [...]]]></description>
