Your kudos mean a great deal to me! Thank you! I hope to have the next one ready to show you next week...I should be in there working now...but when I saw your name pop up, I just couldn't help myself! :)<br/><br/>Series...Whew! You saying that has left me off the hook! I love it! I have organized my web site around it, but clearly it is all so loose, too. I have always felt you could create a body of work out of most anything...more or less a way of talking than a way of working.<br/><br/>Thanks So Much San! Oh San! Your kudos mean a great deal to me!

Series…Whew! You saying that has left me off the hook! I love it! I have organized my web site around it, but clearly it is all so loose, too. I have always felt you could create a body of work out of most anything…more or less a way of talking than a way of working.

Thanks So Much San!

That ropey thing--aren't I eloquent?--running off two edges of the canvas seems portentous and magical. Must be leading to the next in the series...<br/><br/>I haven't really worked in series. YET. Never rule out possibilities. The “Music” painting is most appealing, Kim. That ropey thing–aren’t I eloquent?–running off two edges of the canvas seems portentous and magical.

So do you ever work on several series at a time? I do that! I also can't focus totally on one set or types of painting.<br/><br/>Music is really awesome for lots of reasons...not to mention supporting other artists.<br/><br/>Thanks Kim.

Music is really awesome for lots of reasons…not to mention supporting other artists.

Thanks Kim.

My goal (now) is to always work in a series, but that doesn't happen every time. I am often "spent" after one piece. Sometimes the thought process continues piece after piece & I can't stop. Sometimes I work in a series to use up scraps (not usually my best series). I do think working in a series is important. But I do have to acknowledge my short attention span & must frequently change course.<br/><br/>I ALWAYS work to music. When I did my Modern Dance Series and Women Singing series, I would often listen to 2 or 3 songs over and over until a piece was ready to be sewn. Music is very much a part of my art. An entire series may start from just one song. I have been inspired by Ethiopian music, Stan Getz,Janis Joplin and dozens of others. I usually work in a short series: 3-12 pieces.

Music is a great inspiration. Sometimes I wonder if it is because we become more relaxed when listening to music. But I really think it is because the work just evokes so much emotion and probably more from highly emotional artists. :)<br/><br/>Show some of your music pieces on your blog...that would be great fun.<br/><br/>Thanks again for your kind words about this painting.

It is certainly working for you. I like this piece with the drips on individual objects. I also work with music from time to time.
