Talk About Mud-flaps!
This is fabric I am painting for a collaborative piece.
In my head I was singing the song "Big Bottom", by Spinal Tap, while painting. Sometimes the inspiration chooses me.
This is the second fabric I am painting for my collaborative work.
Music
in my head early in the day was a Dire Straits song, cant remember what
one it was right now. And then later in the day I was humming "Moves
Like Jagger", in case you are wondering.
Fabric part two. |
Now here? |
Maybe here? |

Getting Closer
As of today 6-13-12, still so many things I want to get rid of. Most of what needs to be sorted are Scott's things.

I Love Impressionist Painting
Darker than it looks |
Yes 3 of the same flower |
Late 1800s early 1900s France my favorite time in art history. Tonight I
decided to invoke the Impressionist artists of this era by having a
drink and painting by candle light. To help set the mood I have on a
movie from 1938, "Jezebel" with Bette Davis and Henry Fonda. Okay so it
takes place in the 1800s USA, but still they are from a time when people
and talk funny in the movies. Here is what Transpired.
These will be sanded down next. |

Painting Again
This is the under-wash for a new painting I started. My goal is to not go too long on this and leave it loose. I usually do many layers of paint, but I like this design as is too. It is a bit unfinished for my own sensibilities, but I know that is has good value as is too. I sure could use some constructive critiques. I hope to get a constructive critique group together soon.

Cleaning up in the name of fun
Cleaning up so I can do art and have fun in the Garagemahal once again. I feel like there should be a time-lap movie montage set to ragtime music while I do this clean up.
I spent 2 hours this evening cleaning I got that upper left hand corner clean. I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Wait NO, that's just the door.

Art in The Garagemahal


These memories came back to me while doing my anthropological dig in the garage this morning. I have other artist friends, and it occurs to me there may be an opportunity to get back to group drawing and painting in The Garagemahal. I hope to find some artist friends who would help me clear out the space, and make an area to draw and paint in once again.

Egg Anyone?
Sculptor Melissa Getz, from CO. asked Scott and me to make a glass egg for a piece of art she was creating. She wanted the kind shown in the foreground, We sent her the one in the frying pan as a joke.

Fused Sculpted Glass
This is a fused and sculpted work that I did a long time ago. I think it's been about 4 years or more now. It is a very time consuming process where I hand cut and layer the glass tack fuse it and then sculpt the work with the heat of the glory hole. I hope to one day soon be able to do some sculpted and rolled glass works. One day when I have the funds.
