Roxanne Baldwin's Artsy Blog

  • A website for fun!

    “F*** Yeah Art Student Owl”> I’ve had a migraine today, so I’m taking it easy on using the eyes. So, I haven’t done any artwork…yet, at least. Today, I’ve been online, visiting the sites I always go to. This is one, (beware the “F” word). Although it’s about art students, and it’s been a while…

  • No art

    Today is not a good day for doing artwork. It’s grey and cloudy, which not only affects my energy, it also makes it hard to judge color. So I did housework. However, I did add an “about” page to this blog and my website.

  • A hot time was had by all

    Yesterday night was the opening of “In the Place We Live”, in Long Island City. I was there, along with my dear boyfriend Richard, and my good friend from Connecticut, Cathy. There was quite a crowd of people there, and a lot of good artwork to be seen. Unfortunately, it was very hot, it’s been…

  • Well, doesn’t that beat all!

    I typed a long, chatty entry only to accidently post it to someone else’s blog. Well, won’t they be surprised? What I had intended to do was write here some more about the picture of Coney Island. I did some more work on it, but I had to stop after only a couple of hours.…

  • Another day of leisure

    I’m still enjoying not having to go into the museum. I am going to have to go to put in my resignation, however. In the meantime, I’ve been working on a sketch for a larger drawing. This is the Wonder Wheel at Coney Island. I think in terms of magic lands, so popular in literature…

  • Just wanted to mention, some of my work will be in an art show “In the Place Where We Live”, in Long Island City, Queens. The reception is on July 21 from 6-9 pm. It’s at the M55 Galllery, at 44-02 23rd Street. I’m very excited. This is a big art show!

  • I’ve given some more time to thinking about what I mean by modern archetypes. Those of you familiar with Jung are familiar with the ideas of archetypes, characters and things that are buried deeply in our collective unconscious. These we all have in common, because of the common evolution of our brains. They show up…

  • I spent a lot of time on my website today, to make it more user friendly. I guess people didn’t realize that if they clicked on the small thumbnails,a larger version of the picture would come up with a bit of a description. I added a caption to that statement. I also installed Paypal buttons,…
