create more art

so I will mark this one done… I painted two paintings last week, a watercolor and an acrylic.

My poetry is through the roof… writing several a day.

And my anchor art, divine as is the norm.

And yeah, Shakespeare this Spring and probably this Fall.

So, any more art and I might combust.

Doing just-right at this point.

i did two paintings last month, and i am pleased with both

I used to love to do art but now I don’t seem to do much of anything anymore. I am trying to get back into the artistic spirit and actually DO SOMETHING.

So I rented a garage from my apartment complex, moved my barely used art desk down there and some books. I intend to go there regularly using the garage as a ‘headspace’ for my art.

That is, if the hot Arizonan sun doesn’t bake me slowly like a zesty chicken in there! :P

Whether its makeup, drawing, painting, making music. I want to do that full time. sigh one day

I often wish I was making more art. Painting, sculpture, drawing and such. It used to be a big part of my life, but I find now more and more, it seems like I dont have time for myself and art. I dream about creating, and I think I need to make more time in my life for artistic passtimes.

it’s been a while.

it should be oodles of fun!

on my computer and made a clip, complete with Audio Carly Simon, naturally.... now I need to learn how to add words…. my computer sound system is not the world’s best, the audio clip was really quiet after the download and I can not adjust my volume, so I am not sure if it “took” or not… I may just upload to YouTube and see how it goes there…. if people can hear the music.

I might do that just for fun, to see.

I want to do poems with music and photos I have taken. I have wanted to do that for years and never knew how. If I had known how ridiculously SIMPLE the process actually is… ohmigawsh.

“Our house is becoming like an art gallery.”

I had put up some of my photos around the house, not in any permanent sense, but I wanted to feel their presence.

I wasn’t expecting a single comment but so far, everyone who has walked through the door has said something.

Next Friday is the Art Opening at the Empty Space. I am so proud of my photos there. People are coming up to me, complimenting me out of the blue and last night, one of my models got a compliment from someone he didn’t even know who didn’t know I was the photographer.

To see the look on his face was worth every moment and penny I have invested in this process.

OH! And a comment on flickr.com about the sun ray photo? “This photo is painfully beautiful”... yes, indeed. Perhaps one of the finest compliments I have received for a photo.

I absolutely adore the photos I took, combining Rumi with a secondary project…involving an art show at the Empty Space to go along with The Laramie Project.
