Double-Movie-Date
Yesterday was gorgeous. It was a sunny and pretty much perfect weather day in San Francisco. Those kinds of days can seem so rare that I tend to feel guilty if I don’t take advantage of them by spending every possible moment outside. But yesterday, Marc and I hid from all that gorgeousness and saw [...]
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 [...]
Tent-O-Rama!
So, after much anticipation this week, I now have in my possession 500 promotional postcards, one stamp with the Tiburon Art Festival details (for using on the postcards) and one 9 1/2 foot banner (to tie above the entrance to my tent).
Check it out!
First, postcards:
And now, the banner:
I also picked-up the framing materials for the [...]
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 [...]
SF Pride
What a fantastic morning at the Pride Parade! So many friendly and helpful volunteers, and the parade participants were fabulous.
I was there with Billibatt Productions. Well-equipped with media passes, we stood right in the middle of Market Street. We got some great shots. Here are just a few.
Saturday Night’s All Right for Painting
The latest one … in progress … glamour shot tomorrow.
To Explain … or Not?
In my post last night, I gave the what-I-was-thinking-of-backstory of “In the Dark.” But I am considering whether to avoid posts like that in the future. I’ve since heard fantastic interpretations of the painting that I am pretty sure I wouldn’t have heard if the people telling me about them had read about the moths. [...]
All right . . . I’m ready for my close up.
(Wasn’t Sunset Boulevard a great movie?)
Do pictures of an artist help or hurt promotion of her art? I’m betting the answer is, like the answer to so many questions, “It depends.” But my friend (who, incidentally, can sell practically anything to anyone, but specializes in selling high quality legal advice) advised that “adding pictures of [...]
Say wot?
A jaunt to Sonoma for a bit of wine-tasting-and-wine-purchase-pick-up made for a delightful afternoon. But on the way home, it got even better. I received an email from Wotartist, saying that they had reviewed my site, and they would be including my website on theirs!
Wotartist is among Time Magazine’s top 50 websites of 2007, an [...]
Big Day!
Today Marc finished wrapped up version 1.0 of my website. The “most interesting part” might have been the pop-up windows. But I’m not sure. The whole thing has taken a lot of time. And it seems to me that anything that involves HTML, CSS, JSP, PHP, and Smarty Templates is Pretty Involved.
I just kept painting, [...]
