Gonna be a Dahlia

These round pieces of plywood come from our local Restore.  I’m interested in painting a round flower on a round ground.  May be too hokey.4-22-13

Whole Bloomin’ Thing

I’m working on a series of small works on paper for the fair.  They will be affordable, so come by and pick one.  May 11, in front of Art on Depot.Daffodil

Three of a kind

I’m doing series of  small paintings from previous big ones.  Maybe I can lure people in with a small version, at the street fair, The Whole Bloomin’ Thing.4-15-13

What the Hell Happened?

I got blindsided today.  The brakes went out on the truck.  Not dangerous, just a hassle and cost.  Today it’s too cold to sit in the wild flowers, but the idea is the same.4-12-13

More log cabins

These are some production pieces slated for Art on Depot.  The drawing is done with enamel paint, flowing from a bamboo skewer.  The pastels enhance the atmosphere and season.4-10-13a4-10-13b

Erato

The Modern Muse Erato.  I imagine her as source of life, not a sex worker.   If her job is repurposed, her materials are also.  From the Waynesville Habitat Restore,  copper pipe legs, brass lamp fittings, a lovely dress from a dryer hose, her face on a round of clear plywood, and her music stand skeleton.  Is this art, or just big girl dolls?  This is a work in progress, so don’t be too hard on either one of us.  If we can’t laugh, then we should quit.3-12-13

Repurpose an arts magazine

The Laurel of Asheville is having a contest of artists repurposing their magazine.  I did the line work by dripping enamel.  The picture of the eye was perfect.  The lips are the top of a Valentine, from their Feb. issue.2-18-13

A square muse

Most of the Modern Muse series have been on round pieces of plywood.  This one, unnamed at this time,  snuck in.  The squares refer to QR codes.2-14-13

NoHa is over

I just got back into my blog.  Something had hijacked it, but Forrest fixed it.  I picked up my work from Gallery 86 Sunday.  I wish I’d sold something, but it was a creative body of work.  I used a lot more collage than ever before.  I was let down, but I will go back to the Muses.   I threw in a self portrait.
