New Orleans Art Center Second Saturday Opening - "Interpretations" - May 14, 2016

What a great show and fun time at New Orleans Art Center last night.  My "One Stems" were a hit with 32 of them displayed across one wall. You can see me doing the Vanna thing showing them off below. What a delight to have a showing of some of my huge watercolors. It was nice to have my new New Orleans friends show up with there support.Wish all of my friends from many places could have been there. Feeling truly blessed.

Sketch portrait.

It's been brought to my attention that I haven't posted since January. I haven't looked to see if this is true. I imagine that is is. Truth is, I've kind of gotten out of the habit of posting here. I have been creating, even if it is just quick ideas for paintings in my sketch books. And, I've been posting on Facebook. The reality of the whole online thing is that it has become a bit overwhelming. First there was the blog, then Facebook, then Pinterest, then Instagram! I think this last one is the one that just made me think... Where does this end? I suppose I need to spend some serious time looking into software that merges them all. But, that seems kind of impersonal. Are you guys still out there? I've lately taken an interest in painting faces. Imaginary people. People in my mind. I still love the freedom and fluidity of my sketches in my sketch book, and attempt from time to time to try to capture that fluidity with other mediums. It never seems to work. Each medium is like a language of its own and demands "to be" what it was meant to be and speak it's own tongue. I posted this sketch on Facebook and it received many different interpretations. Thought I would share it here.

Nude

Went to my first (in New Orleans) figure drawing class. What fun! I was in my element. I love New Orleans and what it has to offer artist.

Breakfast at Fradys

Sketch from sketchbook. Breakfast with Becky at Frady's in the Bywater. The Frady family treats me right!

My favorite cup.

A few of my favorite things. This very bohemian looking cup. And hand hammered spoon. Have you noticed the new thing in the stores is this bohemian style dishes that don't match. Every dish is different but they look good together. Just my style, though I will not be buying dishes.

Hopefully I will figure out how to get better pics. For now I will be sharing pics from my sketchbook. And down the line small paintings from a self imposed project that I'll be working on. At some point I may have a flower power fundraiser to get my deck built. But, that will be later.
