Hello Dear Art Lover    

Did you see it?


Hey there!!! Did you see that moon? It was amazingly awesome and ginormous ( it's a word..honest ) I'm not usually out after 6 these days, but I was taking my boys home just in time for bed and was lucky enough to be able to catch that beauty while it was low on the horizon. Fox informed me that it was the Hunter Moon. He's right of course. The sky was so clear that apparently if I'd gone out later, I could have seen more stars as well. Thanks to Len, here are more wonderful moon images.

If you've looked on my Instagram and Facebook account, you've seen that my nephew, Bill, and I have finished a collaboration that we've been working on for a while. He added the final touch with a poem that eloquently completes the picture. If you would like to see it in person, I invite you for a private studio tour. Bill and I really get each other and it is evident that we are evolved from the same warped mind set. I hope I see more of this kind of working together in the future.

The following quote is from the author Ann Patchett talking about writing. Insert 'artist' and you'll see why I include it today.

'You will take bits from books you’ve read and movies you’ve seen and conversations you’ve had and stories friends have told you, and half the time you won’t even realize you’re doing it. I am a compost heap, and everything I interact with, every experience I’ve had, gets shoveled onto the heap where it eventually mulches down, is digested and excreted by worms, and rots. It’s from that rich, dark humus, the combination of what you encountered, what you know and what you’ve forgotten, that ideas start to grow.'

What appears on my canvas is exactly that..a combination of so much input that is buried under layers upon layers upon layers. Most of the time, I have no conscious idea of where my ideas come from. I am learning to honour them when they show up.

The Super Sale continues. Today I've attached some photos from my $100.00 sale bin. The lovely landscapes are mixed media and acrylic, 30 x 15 in and ready to hang on your wall. 'Mask' is also $100.00, mixed media and acrylic, 12 x 12in, ready to hang. You are invited to see these pieces either at my studio, or I can bring them to you. Studio tours are my specialty.

As ever, I truly appreciate your support of my small business. Thank you.
