july

No new art. I've been volunteering at Outsiders & Others Gallery. I've been watching "The X-Files" (TV on DVD). I'm eating 1% cottage cheese instead of 2%.

Hope everyone is having a prolific summer.

thinking big/small today

soon: sedona. perhaps the pastel landscapes will encourage a pastel experience. i'm going to find myself a cluster of cacti and rocks and create a little sanctuary where i can be like georgia o'keefe and discover the beauty of the southwest. also on the agenda: scorpian paperweights and rattlesnake cowboy boots.

for now, enjoy.

Oh ho ho. Guess who bought a laptop this weekend (it's all shiny and smart), and guess who's posting new work?

Thanks for your patience. More to come!

Update

Wow. It's been almost a month since my last post. I've been working on quite a few new pieces, building off themes from earlier series, but using a different medium. Oil paints are expensive, and the smell lingers, so I'm taking a brief hiatus from painting to pursue my "other" concentration: drawing. The pieces are small, roughly 5" x 8", and I'm using this silly set of Crayola colored pencils that have been in my possession FOREVER! The quality is mediocre and the tips always break off, but I've become strangely attached. You know what I'm talking about, I'm sure.

Anyway, this post is kind of boring because I don't have any images yet. I am hoping that this weekend I will have access to a scanner (Amanda?), and can finally update. If not, I will start submiting images that I create using Microsoft Paint. So either way, it's something to look forward to :)
