Here is another reason I haven’t been on the internet here on my blog home or anywhere else for that matter. . .I love how this one turned out! But, I discovered that in taking it home to work on the drawing step I skipped the part where I trace the window of the frame onto the panel so I know the margins. . . turns out the awesome ornate frame I painted powdery white to match the background actually hides half and inch all the way around the painting. That’s exactly what I would expect from my spastic brain. . . but anyways that means I am going to do another large one in the same sort of subject manner. Maybe two. Hopefully done by the White Whale Spring show.
The Curiouser and Curiouser show opened at Gallery Nucleus over the weekend. I wish I could have been there. And oh my! I am in the same show as the likes of Sterling Hundley and Chris Appelhans!!!!! Crazy! The Gallery’s photo of my painting is much better. . . and also check out my friend Cory’s pieces in the show, the Cat , my favorite .

Took this photo in Annalisa’s kitchen, I like her kitchen. Its very cozy and there is always tea and now there are fabulous orange chairs around her table. She is my art show partner this weekend, her paintings of quite domestic animals and mine of wild ones. All of hers are square fit together in nice rows. The animals are thick oil paint on wood and then she burns in linear drawings of the animals surroundings around the painted part. I wish I had photos of the cows and the sheep to post, they are my favorites. Oh yes! I think these chickens are from the Carl Sandburg trip her and I took a few months back one rainy day. I promise I will get more photos of her fabulous work to post once they are all hanging together.

This is why I haven’t been around the internet very much.
Some of what you see are finished, others are nearly there, I’m not going to mention which ones are in progress just to keep you guessing. . .
The hawk, I love, he will be in a huge ornate frame, powdery white.
The curly tongue moths! I want to do more!
I know what colors I like now. . .
Can’t wait to see my show partner’s last few pieces. The show gets hung next week. Yay!

I won’t say too much about this for now, except:
I’ve listened to Scott Tuma’s music more than anything else in the past 5 years. Just ask Annie.
Creating the artwork for his upcoming release Dandelion is a total dream job.
The record will be released on 12″ vinyl on Digitalis.
A special limited art edition of 30 copies will include original artwork.
I can’t wait to show you the rest. I’ll keep you all posted!

Sunny today, my son manages to start playing in the sludgy green pond of the sand box. Regrets for both parties involved.
Amazing bistro chinese for lunch leftover from a nice date last night. A date where we acquired a set of moleskines to hopefully create serious sketchbooks as creative as these. . .
Got a sneak peak of this folk art inspired show at Art & Light (with artworks from the likes of Chris Jones and Kent Ambler), if you are in the area go this weekend and get your socks knocked off.
And since there is a large rock in this photo, check out The Vamoose’s post of geological wonders. Recalls the Christmas present I got when I was maybe ten? a lump of plaster with strange minerals to hack out and identify. Also recalls the only gen. science lab me and my partner finished first instead of last and got an awesome grade. When I have a big house and a big garden, I am totally going to have big rocks and big minerals, everywhere.

Frida Kahlo image from new favorite blog, Feasting on Art! About the painting, its bursting with life, I feel as though the squash is about to explode and plaster the moth with seeds. In a good way. And about the blog, haven’t made any of the food, but I must. The blueberry lemon curd pavlova insists I make it and the art is in such good taste. Dude, and I didn’t even intend that pun.

This grass is dead and pretty. So are these paintings by Jolie Holland on But Does It Float. The bone ones mostly, I can almost hear them clattering against the cardboard sides of the box. You’ll only know what I mean if you look at them.
