Open Says Me
This webstuff looks easy when Gregg and Forrest do it! I try. These are two more paintings that I didn’t post as I went along. Sounds like a New Years Resolution in the offing.
More end of the year updates
Tidying up 2023 art works
Forrest and Gregg have helped me update my website. Check it out. My bad, no blog posts for too long. I have been working. Here are a few pieces that you may not have seen. Echoes Encore is 17″x108″. I have posted half here. Next is photo of me with work in progress. Verdant is 46″x54″. Spring and summer garden.
orphans from the compost heap
I never was able to grow an avocado tree from a seed. My compost heap did. I dug it up, and put it in a bucket, to go inside for the winter. A while later another plant presented itself in that pot,
a squash of some kind. This morning the squash bloomed. Summer color in Dec.!
Folly’s
The Folly’s are small 3D collages. We have lots of pieces left over from other projects, and some of them seem to gather. This one merely needed glue, and a sprig of lavender.
Echoes
The natural world has more loops and spirals, than straight lines.
Caged Head
Limiting women’s rights with laws and penalties occurs in every state.
Jill’s Gloves
A collage of gloves that have seen many winters.
Thoughts in Neon Green Dye
I go to a Meditation class at the Senior Resource Center. They always have boxes of stuff to give away. Usually it’s zucchini, or out of date potato chips. The time they had 5 bottles of Neon Green Dye, no one took them for weeks. I am invested in reusing and re-purposing, rather than throwing things away (where is away?) I have used this dye in nine experimental pieces, so far. The Senior Center is displaying four of the paintings.
Noise is Not Information
All the racket from media, phones and everything does not help. Not to be too philosophical, but I’m looking for peace.
Mothering
I suffer from being impatient, but sometimes I get a second chance. I began this canvas before and put it away. I came across it again in early 2022. This time a few tweaks, and I had it. It expresses my mess as a mother.
