Calm Down, Calm Down
We have a very sweet cat, named Pumpkin. He’s calm most of the time, except when we’re late giving him his breakfast, or pet him to the point of annoyance. In those cases, he either gives you a nibble with his teeth, or a swat with his claws. My boyfriend has some kind of magic, […]

I’m Being Haunted
I’m out again, looking for shows to enter and galleries to represent me. I’m wiser this time, and I have lost my fear of rejection, but still, it’s tiring. One gallery director keeps wanting me to do something different than what I do. Maybe should just tell me she doesn’t like my style? I’ve given […]

In the Year of the Tiger
Once again, we’ve come to my birthday. Everybody always say “You’re a St. Patrick’s Day baby”. Recently, though, I’ve been telling people that I’m a St. Gertrude’s Day baby. It’s especially relevant in the Year of the Tiger. Cats. And people. https://www.facebook.com/events/541677760467486/ And a horse. I’m working on a lot of small pictures right now, […]

The Sky’s the Limit
I think I came to the idea that I’m much more interested in abstract with a few representational aspects. I also think I’ve come to the idea for the drawing for “Art in Action”. As promised, it has a cat. And, it’s my plan to fill in the sky. Skies are great for abstraction. As […]

Experiment #1
Okay, when the going gets rough, I do do cute. This is a representational subject with abstract elements. And it’s cute. So, I’d say as a drawing , it’s moderately successful. What got me, is finding a title. By The Lake? I decided on simply “Gaggle”. It’s short, elegant, and to the point. So, as […]

IT COMES DOWN TO THIS……
One day,, two little abstracts later, and I’m already bored. I remember an art class in 5th grade. We were given a lot of sticks, told to drop the sticks anywhere the cardboard we were given, have fun don’t make anything. While the other students were making abstracts worthy of Jackson Pollack, I decided to […]

ROADBLOCK!
Okay, you’ve seen this before. And, here it is, again! You might be wondering why I’m posting old artwork. There’s a reason. Here it is: I’m stuck. I’m in an artistic traffic jam, when there is a stalled car up ahead, and you’re hours behind it in a stopped highway. And then, the police try […]

Difficulties
Trying to edit this so I can put video slide shows in my footer, without doing damage to the rest of the blog! As They used to say on old TV shows: We are experiencing technical difficulties, Please stay tuned. In other words HELP!

What to do if You’re Stranded in Space
Near the Creative Black Hole, naturally. I’ve got a couple of strategies for getting through inspiration less time. One is, don’t forget your sense of humor…do something crazy and fun that you wouldn’t otherwise. And/or……go back to an old idea that you haven’t been able to quite get right. When I used to visit New […]
