One Stem #13 - SOLD

5.5" X 15" mixed medium on cotton paper. Spring has sprung in Louisiana. I've been spending many hours outdoors getting the garden planted and flowers are popping up everywhere. It makes my heart happy to paint flowers. So, I do! I've got one stems in the making. You'll see a new each day over the next few weeks. Someone sent me a photo of the "one stem's" hanging in the their house that I'm going to share with you. I was so excited to see my work framed and happy hanging in a home that it inspired me to -get on it- and do some more. So, I'm asking a little favor. If you've got art work of mine hanging in your house, will you take a snap shot of it? I will post it to my blog. Thanks! and Happy Spring!

coming up.

one stems. and martini glasses on a sphere!

Goblets on a sphere $20

This is my newest goblet design. I actually really love them. They are so cool because they are wine glasses sitting on a sphere and, yes! they are very stable. They are much more beautiful in person. And! feel extremely comfortable to hold.

Arlette the Potter

Trying to get back into one a day. Though, working with oil based anything makes spontaneity difficult. This is sketch of Arlette, one of my pottery students.

Gaddafi

Wow guys. Sorry about that run on sentence in the previous posting. I'm sure all you teachers and writers were cringing. I will try to use more punctuation. I did this Gaddafi painting after his initial speech of NOT stepping down. I tend to like the second image always better than the first. It seems to have a more subtle quality to it.

Egypt Uprise

After some speculation of past post, I think I decided that some of favorite most meaningful ones were the ones done on the happenings of the day. So, I've been doing some monoprints since teaching it in my class and I will posting some of these.

Student Work

This blog is dedicated to my art students whom can brighten up any day. They are trying there hand at monoprinting and doing a fantastic job. The name "monoprint" is called that because you typically can only get one print transfer with the process. I like to wash the remaining ink down and get a second but different print from the image. Though, each is very individualistic and unique and often times the second is better. Teaching is rewarding in so many ways. First is the thrill of seeing what a young person can do and watching as they amaze themselves. Secondly, it forces me, the teacher to rethink what I already know, how I acquired the information and how to translate it. And thirdly, often times there is a rebirth within me of a medium that had been put aside for some time. Like revisiting an old friend.

Black and Gold earrings - $20.00 ea.

You can never have too much Black and Gold. These black and gold beads are lampwork beads and GREAT! for wearing while watching the Saints games.







The bead on this last pair of earrings is actually made of clay polymer and swarovski crystals. Yes. I am playing with clay polymer again!

New Earrings - $20.00 ea.

Most of my favorite earrings sold for Christmas. The showroom was in much need of replenishing. The following earrings are made with handblown glass and are actually hollow. These hollow beads are my all time favorite beads. I made a necklace out of some hollow beads years ago and loved it so much I refused to sell. I am planning on starting a line with these beads. This is just the beginning. Someone walked in the studio this morning and snatched up a pair as I was photographing. Should have got a picture.
