A little bit late for this, but mainly posting this for Teresa, curator of Art & Light (where we had the show) who was gone the weekend of the show on a much deserved cruise. . . and for all the people who couldn’t come so they know what they missed : )
I now have over a pound of amazing butter left over, wrapped away in the fridge that and is contributing heartily to the delay of my winter fat loss. I think it is a bit funny the jam labels itself “home made style”, come on people, I couldn’t make everything from scratch.
A very funny music video a friend sent me, and I am sending it now to you. Clever!

Annalsia’s farm square, I wish I had gotten a shot from afar. I am in love with that white bull, Chris likes those spotted cows, and everyone seemed partial to the pigs. Her honey butter for the New Year’s bread was quite a hit too. . . I think they were just getting the bread as a means for consuming the honey butter. . .
So tired and my throat hurts! it was nice to see lots of nice people. . . I didn’t get many pictures, too distracted. It all came together nicely. I had more up but alas, the photos didn’t happen to come out very well. Many reflections upon seeing my latest work after the hours of drawing. I feel as though I need to write them down so I have directions to refer to for the future. . . I know it will involve owls, and moths and hawks and largeness and frames.

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 .

Scrambling to finish this painting to send to Gallery Nucleus for the Curious and Curiouser show. . .must be done by the end of the week! Still needs some more graphite and then some glazes. I have twenty-two pieces in the works at various stages of completion. . .that’s better than last week, it was up to twenty-four on Thursday!
I’m sure it will in no way compare to Sir John Tenniel’s fabulous original pieces for the stories.

He insisted on including his in the photo, I don’t mind at all, its my favorite and it never actually made it too the friend it was intended. Though at the time I admit I was not happy about his close vicinity to these shiny coats of wax. Finished for a show next weekend, I love the wax, though I am not certain I like all what I did with it. Hence the censored views of only my favorite parts. I learned a lot, and I think you’ll see more as such in the future!

This is the view from the top of the stairs, night of our Christmas show. I wanted there to be more strands, but I’d say I’m happy with these. . . don’t ask, I’m not selling them anymore, you can buy some similar ones from this lady.

Rearranged the entire gallery at White Whale today (all day) with Sarah and Caroline. . . it looks good! Tomorrow is the big night, I am so not ready! These evergreen ornaments are so ready though, I drew them over Thanksgiving, and then strung them with strings and scattered silver pieces over them via brush, paint and scotch tape (yes, scotch tape) stencils. I love them! I hope other people will. . .
Just in time for metallic inspiration. . . I know its just an UO catalog, but I really love this one, I love the blingy party duds, yes I said blingy party duds. They are PartyParty by Confettisystem. . . I remember seeing some small photos of a fabulous silver pinata in Domino (sigh). So finally, some full full page spreads for oogling.

My long time friend Annalisa and I are having a show here in March. We needed some reference photos.
Today we were crazy and brave, we took two babies in the rain to the spectacular Carl Sandburg Home in Flat Rock, NC. It was terrible and beautiful, wet muddy children in cold rain and a landscape so deep and green it could make a poet out of anyone. (even a frustrated mother?)
Gentle, sweet goats. . . bright yellow gingo leaves scattered under thick bamboo. . . wet pines by a dark lake. . .
Mud puddles, goat poop and toddlers don’t mix well with camera’s, I didn’t get many good photos, but we did get a little goat!
