To everyone who tried to post a comment on my blog and couldn’t, I just found out there was an error between the commenting module and one of the spam blocker modules. I am so sorry about that. Thanks to those who brought it to my attention. I believe the problem has been fixed and hopefully it will work fine now, so please do come back often and leave your comments. I enjoy hearing from you!
One painting is coming along nicely,,. approaching completion. The second one, however, is another story. Yesterday it took a definite turn for the worse, but I encouraged myself by remembering the process of painting “Sisters”. “Sisters” reached a point where I thought there was no hope for anything good to come of it, then suddenly it came together and turned out to be a favorite among viewers. “Suddenlies” can be so wonderful! I won’t give up on this one…not yet….I’ll just keep pressing on searching and waiting for “suddenly”.
Three paintings in progress and waiting for paint to dry. Contemplating what each will be named and where they will take me next. Sometimes the name comes first, then the painting….but mostly the painting and then the name. Often I have to see the final product before I fully understand the buried thoughts and emotions that were being expressed during in the process. Awwww….the joy of creating a new piece.
It’s always amazing experiencing the twists and turns the journey of an individual painting can take. I love the process…even though sometimes it can be a little trying when the next phase takes days or weeks to become clear. I try one color or technique and it just doesn’t seem to fit…so I backtrack and paint over or add to…then suddenly the pieces of the puzzle start falling into place…that’s when the fun really begins. One canvas has already reached the fun stage and is taking shape….the other two???? They are still in the experimental stage….
Artist Vivian Robinson has invited me to join her for a two person exhibit in April. The exhibit, “To Everything A Season”, will run for two days on the 17th and 18th of April from 2:00 to 5:00 pm at Southridge Gallery, 308 Southridge Road, Jamestown, NC. The show will be open to the public and refreshments will be served. Besides being an artist, Vivian also loves to garden and her yard/garden is beautiful in the spring time. Hope you can come!
I also have plans to participate in the Cosmic Cow Society group show the month of April at Mitchell & Bartlett Orthodontics, 5314-B West Friendly Ave., Greensboro, NC. This is an Autism benefit exhibit and 20% of all proceeds will go to this charity.
