This piece has puzzle pieces collaged onto a panel.
Genome Landscape #3
I did three pieces in the same theme. I’m going to put them in the Small Works Show at the Haywood Arts Council. There is collaged things as well as painted elements. x’s, y’s makes you think of chromosomes and DNA, right?
I like these women!
They don’t look important enough to add to a grant application, but I find them coming along when I need them. Today,s new discovery was wiping acrylic over the enamel drips. Previous faces were tinted with pastels.
Open house next Sunday
I was baffled as to how to show a bunch of paintings of ladies with attitude together. This bulletin board in my studio is working great. Each “portrait” is mounted on foam core, sleeved in plastic, and T-pinned to the board. This is for simplicity and affordability. Each person can choose their own framing options.
These are variations on a painting I did years ago of a blanket flower. You can see how my work evolves and grows.
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!
I was …
The Eye Wonder series is rolling merrily along. 
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.
Provoke
The Eye Wonder series continues. This one has great words, provoke and boundaries, but they were chosen for their color, not their meaning. We are working on a poster and a video to show the process and some of the decision trees. These are a lot like life, you have to deal with what you are given.
Black and White
The Eye Wonder series is about serendipity, a nice word for the weird stuff that happens to us. Most of my work is an explosion of color, but this white enamel on white paper was an interesting surprise. A black Sharpie pen was used to outline the white enamel. The letters and words are random, mostly.
Thanks to the Hammett clan for including me in their picnic last night. We were done before the thunderstorm hit. It was a doozy!
