Rock, paper, x-acto knife
Here is some finished new work!
First, Old Stone I and Old Stone II. They’re 24″ x 12″, acrylic and paper on canvas. You can see earlier photos and the inspiration behind them here.
And Paper Flower is also done. It’s 36″ x 24″, acrylic and newsprint on canvas. I’ve been talking about this one for a [...]
Sticky Fingers
That 96″ tall canvas is still in my office. But I had some ideas about what to do with it this week, and I’m trying out some of them on a 36″ x 24″ canvas.
I have been thinking about curlicues and curlicues make me think of quilling. I called around and found some [...]
So long low season?
I’ve been thinking for weeks about working on some new paintings. I wasn’t quite ready to dive in until today, though.
Last Sunday, I ran the Big Sur Half Marathon. It was fabulous and gorgeous and my time was 10 minutes faster than the half marathon I ran this past February. My improved time really surprised [...]
Thank You Notes
I went to write thank you notes to the people who bought my paintings this weekend, but my tasteful taupe cards suddenly looked WAY too boring. So I decided to make each note more interesting by doing a little work on the back.
That Watch Needed Numerals
I have been considering adding some numerals to this painting for awhile. I finally got around to it tonight. Here is an early photo:
Ahhh. Much better.
Fabulous Flowers
I love my friends.
This morning around 11, I returned to my desk to see the red message light lit on my phone. That light rarely means “SPECIAL DELIVERY” in a good way, but today was an exception. Look what had arrived for me!
I brought them home tonight so I could enjoy them in a less [...]
Birthday Art
Today is my sister’s birthday. When I asked her a couple of weeks ago what she’d like, she politely suggested (again) that I could give her some art.
She has asked (politely and repeatedly) before, but I wasn’t quite sure what to paint for her. Also, I was only working on big pieces for awhile, so [...]
Flower Power
I have been so busy lately! I’ve been getting ready for the “About” tab along the top! Big thanks to douche-free bio) And then, of course, there’s last Saturday, which I decided I needed to spend swimming and running …
Anyway, the bottom line is I have been setting aside less and [...]
Hydrangea at Night
It’s summer and the flowers look really happy about it. I love the look of the bright hydrangea all the time, but they are particularly striking when it’s getting dark. I took this photo tonight:
I am thinking about what to paint next, and I think it may involve these flowers. But I also [...]
My Kind of Needlework
The thing I love about knitting and crochet are the stitches. All the yarn gets twisted up in such an attractive and uniform way as part of the greater pattern.
I wondered what would happen if I made some pieces with yarn and then painted with them. I had some time this weekend to create a [...]
