Art Appreciation Show

Common Ground

Work in Paint, Thread, Wool & Silk

Today I feel as if I may be coming down with a bit of cold. No surprising since everyone that lives in this house has had it already and has NOT been coughing into their arms. Haven't they been watching those public service annoucements? I'm still taking my Cold FX though, drinking lots of tea and keeping warm.

I'm also trying to organize, to the best of my abilities since organization is not my strong suit, a small art show at our community hall. Last year was our first and it ended up being quite successful so this year we've extended it to two days and a few more artists. It really gives the people who live in our area a great opportunity to come out and meet the talented artists who work here and perhaps support them by buying some of their work More about the show and the artists featured in upcoming posts....

Tired of The Cold

October

Work in Paint, Thread, Wool & Silk

When I woke up this morning it was -32 celcius...... for my American readers that is -26.5 fahrenheit. Enough of winter already.

Finished the above piece yesterday and since I haven't posted any new art lately, I thought I should so you would at least know I have been in the studio and working.

Tracy, Ellen and I have been having this discussion on bad music on our ipods so I thought I should at least weigh in with one of mine.............. what can I say, I was a teenager during the disco years. Embarassingly enough there is more where that came from.

This piece is finally back from the framer. As always, all art looks better live and in person especially textile art as a jpeg can't capture the texture and three dimensionality of the artwork.

I'm really pleased with how this piece turned out. The reds show brilliantly against the black bark of the maple tree and the creamy white of the birch.

I'm currently working on a fairly large piece for the "Carriage House Gallery" show. It is a landscape with plenty of trees in the foreground as well as the background surrounded by a field of lavendar. It is just in the beginning stages but I'm working on it fairly steadily now so I'm hoping to be done in a couple weeks.

I saw the optomitrist this morning for an eye test and new glasses. I chose a pair I really liked which the guy who was helping me called "edgey"....yeah, that's me....edgey. No, wish it were but can't say that is the word that best describes me.

Still snowing here.........................
