Sunlight Cafe


I did it! I went to Sunlight Cafe last night at 9:30pm and hung up some art! I had help from my great friends Amy Chinn, Deb Cooper and Sarah Bear. We were still hooking and wiring at 8:30. It felt odd to wake up with no paintings in my room, or the urgency to get quickly to painting. I was actually dreaming of stacked canvas and paint boards. Like I could see them behind my closed eye-lids.


Yesterday was such a spaz. I was still not done with at least 4 pieces. I literally painted for 30 minutes at a time in-between Ruby's choir performance at Seattle Center at 11:00, dropping and picking her up from a birthday party 2:00-5:00 and dropping Wylie off at a basketball game at 4:00. I was a freak. I am a freak. I painted an entire piece in 30 minute increments while driving all over the city. Today I feel tired, a little hung over from the beers I gulped down, and very, very strange thinking about the people eating brunch with my art. I am seriously worried one might fall down on someones head.


"Alive" acrylic, pencil, collage   Not quite finished with this yet actually, needs one more layer or two.          18"x24" (i think)

Alive 
I live in a house full of petals and paint. 
and there is a daily paper 
grown over with green grass
  and painted orchards with daddy-long-legs all around. 
I drape pain in fabric and wash it out with titanium white. 
I pencil over parts and spread it out on a large flat story board.
I keep sparkly objects in a bin. 
I am strawberry flavored.
 I am damp earth.
Coral pink is how I keep it.

Today's the day


I am hanging my artwork for the first time. (At Sunlight cafe) I feel funny.


art journal work 
acrylic, ink, pencil

I love my art journal and I want to teach a class. And I will. I will start an art journaling group.
