Working intuitively…is this a series? Pinning things together. The most interesting things are the antique, hand embroidered “caps”. Working like I used to listening to a movie or a recorded book or performance.
Tonight, it’s the “Hidden Figures” DVD that I just purchased. Slowly remembering how I used to work…several pieces at once…a lot of blue this time…temporarily pinning, moving them in around in different spots, looking…living with them in their various evolving states…revising…each piece a journey…an adventure…wanting to tell its own story…right now, not looking at photos or real life references or worrying about what’s artistically correct although I’m surrounded by it in my studio….or is it?
It’s so hot and the air is so heavy and nobody knows I’m already secretly wishing for fall.
A work in progress
..in direction…

Wow, I had no idea that this piece was going to go in this direction. Still don’t know what it’s about. Not so hot this morning or maybe I’m a little more tolerant to the heat. Been working on this piece for a couple of hours after the opening reception of the “Ursuline College Art Alumnae Exhibition” at Wasmer Gallery last night.
I’m usually so exhausted after an opening that I can’t think or I can barely walk. I’m still up painting! I had this great and inspiring conversation about making art with Beth Bryan and Patsy Kline during the opening about the mystery of creativity…the ebb and flow…
