Kinda hard to do right now.
Imagine Peace
Back to the Studio!
The drip paintings are morphing. I think I’ll make some into unique greeting cards. Open House Sept.22!
Eye Wonder continues
Before I went into the hospital, I had experimented with dripping words. Because of those starts, I had something to work on today, instead of trying to start flat footed. I think this may work into a handmade greeting card. Save the date, Sun. Sept. 22 for my art sale! Any proceeds will go to pay my medical bills. Thanks!
More of the Eye Wonder Series
The series continues. The dripped underpainting gives me a wealth of ideas on what each of these gals is wondering about.
More Eye Wonder
I visited Cathey at Art on Depot in Waynesville, NC today. She said people were noticing my new work. I think this series is
fascinating, I never know who will show up.
Women’s place in the world
Forget the Middle East, the rights of women in the USA are disappearing at a heck of a rate. Larry Summers, who thinks that women cannot be educated in math, is set to take over the Federal Reserve. This series, Eye Wonder, is about the strictures put upon women.
How this series is made.
Forrest suggested that we do a video to show the process of creating each image in this series, which I call Eye Wonder. Of course parts are missing from the camera and our editing software is out of date. I am going to post five of the series today, in the order they were done. Each one turns out unique. I am adding more media, as I go.
Eye Wonder What Happened?
My sons, who were very close growing up, do not speak. It breaks my heart. I have done a series of paintings, of eyes, whether going in or out of my soul, I cannot say. Vacancy where there was love?
Here’s one with a detail.
Studio visit
I had a wonderful time yesterday visiting Cori Saraceni in her studio. We sparked ideas off of each other. She was frustrated that I don’t show details of my work. I had never thought of it! So this is “Hurricane Sandy” and the detail is her mouth. This piece is collage on plywood. The perfectly round high grade plywood is being sold by the Waynesville, NC, 
Habitat Restore.
commissions
I accepted this commission with reservations. The ceramic frog was a gift, and it needs a setting. The lily pad was a fun time to play with paint.
Yesterday, by happenstance, an artist visited my studio. He liked this self portrait with small mirrors.
