Something A Little Different
I have no idea what to call this. I do not know how to present it, really. I have not actually decided it works, so I am sticking my neck out here to share it with you. As you know I have been working on all kinds of things lately, in and out of the [...]
Engaging the Muse
I have been working on this one for quite some time, but there is still more to do. The thing is, this one is already spoken for…you just never know about these things as I have had many doubts about this one. I have several large pieces going on right now, I can’t work on [...]
Drawing Lines
As many of your know I am a book junkie (I suppose it could be worse). This particular book, Finding Your Visual Voice, is a very basic workbook type reference. One reason I like it is for the interviews of various artists. Sometimes, when my muse decides I need to explore something I am not [...]
Abstractions
I have said I often get things in my head and I must do things to get them out. One night last week I woke up and had these line faces in my brain. I knew if I did not draw them, I would not get back to sleep . Does your art keep you [...]
Monday Blanks
Today I do not have a great deal to share with you. While some of my blog friends were nursing sniffles, going to art shows and going along to high teas (you know who you are), I was painting the walls in my foyer and stairwell. And I can tell you they are looking much [...]
Playing Around…
This is a quick shot…clearly not centered and not well lit…of one of the things I have been doing in my studio. Yes, I even threw some paint on the wall…but I had not painted that room on purpose and will have to prime it anyway (wallpaper). I seem to do this. When I have [...]
So Many Gifts!
Each day I come to this blog wondering what I will talk about. This week not only has mother nature given me some ideas as gifts, but also blog friends have given me gifts of ideas. In response to my post on Slow Art, Andrea sent me this book which had been introduced to her [...]
Art Review
Recently, Babs has shared on her blog that she did some reorganizing of her studio to try to get back her muse (and this is a woman who once fell off the earth). She found one real treasure as you can see when you visit her, but I suspect she is holding out on us. [...]
Trying To Get Back Into The Swing Of Things!
Okay, so this weekend I did spend some time in the studio…some time! While I did not complete anything, I did play some and feel ready to get myself more seriously moving forward. So I had this old frame I had purchased from Ikea a few years ago. It had glass in it and I [...]
