Rachel 07162014

I don't know her.  I made her up just like I have been making up people since I was old enough to hold a crayon.  Why Rachel?  I'm not sure, but it has always been one of my favorite names.  She will be for sale at the Blue Heron Artisan Gallery in Port Washington or you can contact me if you are interested. 

Art Day with Kathy

Some mornings the sky seems like it is on fire!  Other times you can barely see for the fog.

Blue Heron Artisan's Gallery & Gifts   I have a space at Blue Heron Artisan's Gallery & Gifts.

  I just signed the papers on Wednesday and finished hanging my pieces on July 4th in the morning before the parade.  Today, I got an email to let me know I sold 2 pieces yesterday afternoon!  I sold this one and another landscape that I never took a picture of!  This week, I need to get busy and increase my inventory and remember to get the picture files done! 

 

 

 

Only a few more days for Art at Work

I used to make these little fish pictures all the time and then I stopped for some reason.  Today for some other reason, I decided to try making them again.  The new Paint program has a lot better tools and so this one came out extra cute.  Not fine Art- just Fun Art.

 

Morning 06082014

This piece is acrylic on canvas, 16 X 20". 

 What a busy day I had yesterday, helping out at the Kiwanis Brat Fry, Art day with Kathy and then dinner (small plates) at the Twisted Willow Treehouse with Kathy and Karen.  

I was determined that this piece would be brighter and lighter.  Out with the dark and in with the light!  I worked on it yesterday for a couple of hours.  I was not satisfied.  I asked Kathy, "what do you see?"  She said "a lake and hills, a meadow".  Well that was not what I had tried to paint but since I wasn't happy with how it was turning out with my idea, I took Kathy's interpretation and ran with it.  Now we have a lake, trees and meadows-plus 2 horses and the sun rising out of the morning mist and clouds.   Oh, yeah the river was there all along.  

After my visit to the MAM exhibit of Kandinsky's work, I was inspired to try imitate his works.  Someone at my house wants something like this on her wall. 

Work Art 06/05/14

I went to the opening of the Kandinsky exhibit at MAM last night with 2 other people.  Each of us saw different things and interpreted the same painting in different ways.  Here is another piece of Work Art, done using the Paint program.  When I look at this, I feel like Summer.
