Teacher's Choice

The class was titled "Toward Abstraction".  I painted with acrylics on a Frederick's canvas tablet and rolled the paintings up to pack them home, so they photographed a little wavy.  The teacher liked these best:  (So far they have no other titles.  Would you be interested in a contest to correct this? ;o)

Day After Tomorrow

I will be here for a week taking Suzanne Northcott's class in Canada, BC, on The Sunshine Coast.  Later I'll check out the city of Vancouver where I have never been.  Everyone says it's a beautiful spot. Behold my inner excitement:

Designs on My Luggage...

i put em on there ...so if anyone has designs on it and wants to lug it off the carousel I can say, "Oh no, you don't.  Let me see your stencils!"







Get it?  Poke, poke, nudge, nudge.
Oh, well, carry on.

Apricoterie

Twin apricots from my dwarf tree's second year of bearing fruit on my dwarf-friendly balcony.  The tree gulps water like a parched sailor and attracts an audience of very interested birds at first  fruitblush.  I foil them with bird netting that requires no less artistry than decorating the Christmas Tree.  I remind myself of the holiday cartoons picturing a hapless home owner impossibly tangled in strings of lights...

 All this for a yield of about ten apricots.  And yes, they taste delicious!

Oh Apricot, Oh Apricot,
you live in a pot
and I like you a lot.

Travelmania

...made this hugeness (30"x40") at a Mask class with Ruth Dorn way back when.  It glows in the dark on my office wall reminding me of my adventures in the Faraway and counteracting the Daily News.  I'm off to an art class in peaceful BC Canada soon.

This Travel Jester

amuses the Queen in me -

she’s out of this world!

Camera to eye

she juggles the hemispheres,

keeping track of time,

thinking on a different plane,

digesting the globe.

She is feeling younger but

mindful of the sky;

its starry message fills her

with the glow of time:

never ending and goodbye…

The House on Broken Battery Street

Went sketching, left the ignition on...

There was a wonderful wrought iron fence in front I'm scared to add due to my difficulty with straight lines.  Might try a paper cutout.  Then all my houses could have one!

Elora at the Beach

My 'poetic metaphor' here is that she is poised of the edge of childhood with the wave of adolescence ready to engulf her.  Successful surfing, lovely grand daughter!
