Few Words
This is an old drawing. I am still working in the studio on different projects. They are just long term ones. Today, I have few words to share. Do you have some fun weekend plans? Subscribe in a reader
Art and Non-Art
Today is kind of a clean up day around here. Just a few things to note and asking for some help in understanding. In a comment to yesterday’s post, Suki asked if I might add a side bar providing links to the conversations held on this blog. I have done that, if you are inclined [...]
Sketching and Structure
While I am working on other things in the studio, I thought I would show you a couple of sketchbook doodles.This was just a deal where I was seeing where the pen would go when I moved it across the page. The color is just color! There was nothing preplanned about this at all. These [...]
Slowly Returning…
My apologies for this photo. I usually do better with these, but this one just would not photograph well for me. It was a lot clearer when I did not crop the photo, so there you have it. I believe the reflective quality of the paints I used along with the lighting I have to [...]
Wishing You Joy!
This is a holiday weekend for several countries. I am only aware of the ones in the US, the UK and France, though. On Sunday France celebrates Fetes Des Meres.

Paper Presentation
It is interesting that one of the reasons I prefer to work on deep, stretched canvas is because I do not want to have to deal with presentation once the work is completed. Now, how is that for laziness? My woven pieces are a case in point. If you read this blog, you know I [...]
Intuitive Art
As I told you a few weeks ago I ordered this book, and it has arrived. As I have begun to skim through it, I realize I will use this particular book as a main reference when I need a kick in the pants to freshen up my work and my creativity. It is as [...]
Seeking Advice
Here is a little posy to get your week off on a lovely path! This is the painting I finally completed this weekend. I have been working on this for quite some time as it has probably between 50 to 75 layers of glazing. It will go into my Contemplation Series and is acrylic on [...]
The Look of Taste
So, okay…I tried to reproduce what a taste looks like today. I am no where near as successful as Babs, but I gave it a quick shake! This is berries and cream…specifically, raspberries and blueberries and whipped cream! The taste is fresh, complex, sweet and the berries have huge bursts of individual flavor and sometimes [...]
