Calendar - September to December

September 2006 - Measuring the Stars. Those rubber stamps has that 30's film star feel to them. Then the measuring tape and actual stars making up the name. The very background is tea stained paper and on top of it is a paintchip sample that I got a home improvement store.














October 2006 - It can come undone... Basically the girl in the piece is coming undone...her world that lets her look so princess like...can come undone just thread by thread.
















November 2006 - Caught There are pieces in the background - cutout placed in like a grid like pattern. The butterfly just feels like it caught between it all. It was the process that made it feel that way. And the 3 has meaning to me too.







Close up....










December 2006 - Amid the Stars The little tag says "And he hid his face amid a crowd of stars."













January 2006 - April 2006
May 2006 - August 2006

Glass Magnets

Those around little glass stones you get to put in vases....well glued image to the back so you would see the image through the stone and then put a magnet on it.

Quote

“When I am in my painting, I’m not aware of what I’m doing. It is only after a sort of ‘getting acquainted’ period that I see what I have been about. I have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, because the painting has a life of its own.” ~ Jackson Pollock

No Time for Art

I am in the process of working on 6 websites....with 2 more on the horizon. Two of them are for charities that Michael and I want to help out. And then 2 of them are our websites - Michael's for his business and then one for my art (which are always on the bottom of the list). And then 2 others are clients with one deadline coming up really quick. I feel a little stressed as we have had guests from out of town and then I have been sick with the stomach flu all week. I hope to get a lot accomplished on all of them this weekend.

Because of all the websites I haven't had one moment of time to work on art. And I am missing it a lot. So I hope to get on with that soon as I got some tins in the mail from a good friend and I have several canvas' primed and several smaller pieces started I would like to finish. Soon...soon...I hope.
