Quiet Conversation

Today was one of those days in which everything I attempted "sucked". I had what I thought was an amazing idea for a couple of new pieces but ended up tossing both of them. For some reason it just wouldn't come together no matter what I tried. By late afternoon I began feeling unbelievably frustrated since I had spent the better part of the day thinking I was really on to something just to have it all fall apart. Guess I just need to chalk it up to ............. I don't know...what do artists call those days? I so want to say wasted but I'm trying to remain positive.
Saw the movie "Across The Universe" last night. I enjoyed it and thought it was very poetic and definitely a feast for the eyes and ears...... but you do have to enjoy musicals and of the course The Beatles but I don't know anyone who doesn't love Beatles tunes. John was in the city for the night so the girls and I rented it. I think they liked it but my youngest said it was a bit "too out there". Julie Taymore directed who also did "Frida" ..... the life of the famous artist Frida Kahlo. Now that is a great movie...rent it if you haven't seen it. Salma Hayek is fabulous!
My friend Steve Caston came over this morning to discuss plans for a new website for moi. The one I have currently is still operational but I need the ability to be able to change my own artwork whenever I want as well as the other text on the site. Besides the homepage for the current site isn't really reflecting the work I am producing now. When that website was put together my work was all about art quilts as well as hand dying my own fabric....neither of which I am doing now. I have a pretty strong idea about what I want.........simple, contemporary and clean lines. Will see what Steve comes up with.

Have you ever thought of trying an online web-building program? No HTML necessary. I use Homestead and have a reasonable-sized package, including my own domain. It costs me about $150/year and I do it all myself plus update whenever the spirit moves me. :)
Thanks Andrea....I'll check it out
Melody, I hope things have gone better since you wrote this, I'm a few days late commenting!
I have my website with FASO,Fine Art Studio Online. They have several different pricing structures, and I have loved them for years.
I love this painting!
Coming from you that means a lot Jean. Thanks so very much
No, try www.bludomain.com! I have a template site with them, and they are AWESOME! It's easy to build, change, completely customize and make very personal to you. They have big to small sites, you may host with them for a fee of only $100/year.
