Apple

I think I can admit I’m hooked on this oil painting stuff!  I’m using these canvas panels for these still life studies I’m doing.  Not only are they inexpensive, but they stack up nicely, not taking up much room.

Dutch Harbor

Jamey says I’ve got a Dutch Harbor thing going on… when he was ever at a Dutch Harbor is beyond me.  I’ll take it.

You might find better bargains on art supplies at Dick Blick; Jerry’s Artarama; Daniel Smith art supplies or Art Supply Wearhous. Just google any on them. Good luck

I thought you meant Dutch Harbor, Alaska! I was wondering when you would have ever been there. Stormy seas pretty much sum that place up.

In an aside, Diane Melms presented at our Anchorage Modern Quilt Guild meeting last night. As we were leaving I asked her if she knew your work (we were talking about her fabric dyeing techniques) and she said she was at a Nancy Crow workshop with you! Pretty neat. I see a lot of similarities in your work.

I think it’s the yellow. Reading “Dutch Harbor” brought to mind a particular painting that has those greys and yellows, but it ends up it was Turner’s work — and he’s English. Dutch or English, I think I can see where Jamey was going. :-)

i like this! something about the brush strokes.

i know how you feel….out of quilting. i often hate quilting so much because it feels so constantly marketed. difficult to just enjoy. not sure if that makes loads of sense. i usually then turn to photography and writing.

i love paint. i’m not very good with it, but there is something about those little tubes..and the brushes.

Stickwork instillation opening

Last night we went to the “Dougherty Dinner” at the Hui No’eau.  It was truly magical to walk in and out of these sculptures at night.  Scantly illuminated, one gets the feeling of entering into another world… mysterious, interesting and surreal.  Tonight is the blessing and opening, and it’s open to the general public.  You...

I wish I lived on your island and could have been at the opening. It is a really wonderful looking sculpture.

Tangerine-Egg

First, to celebrate the equinox I changed my banner!  Yay! Looking at these two side-by-side I realize now that I’ve forgotten several of the things Julie taught me.  Still, my tangerine turned out pretty well!  Although it’s slightly egg-shaped… ahem.   Maybe I’ll paint an egg next and just get it over with!
