How To Attach Picture Hanging Wire


I've had people ask me if I have tutorials, so here is my first. It's a bit dry, but hopefully is clear. To make it interesting, count how many times i say "just". :)

Blue Leaves

This Great Blue World of Ours Seems a House of Leaves.

I just finished this painting and posted it to etsy: http://tinyurl.com/22mv69w

Sign Paintings


I've been surprised at the farmer's market, that people keep asking me how much my sign is. It seems to get more attention than separate paintings. I think the reason is that people are drawn to geometric symmetry, such as in much of my square abstract work. Anyway, I decided to do a take off of the sign but paint it in fours. The pic on the left is the 4 paintings, which can be hung horizontal, as shown, vertical, or in a square. It's a nice way to fill a space and be able to change things up. The pic on the right, btw, is my actual sign.

Clocks


This week I've decided to mark down my clocks to $45 at the farmer's market. It will be interesting to see the response.

Paintings in Process


These are the paintings I'm working on this week. I'm so exhausted from long, long hours at school, that I need a break occasionally to relax. Relax = painting!

In Process

This is the painting I'm working on today. It's pretty difficult to find a space large enough to lay out a 4' x 4' canvas. Yep, that's my bed. This artist needs a studio!

Happy Birthday To Me

I am officially 45. Are you supposed to tell people your age after 20? Well, what I lose on the outside I gain on the inside.
