I had planned to take a class in paint flinging at the Great River Arts Institute in Vermont next week, but apparently I was only registrant so it was cancelled. Instead I've rented a studio -- how weird is that -- and am going anyway. But what to do? what to do? in my rented studio for two-and-a-half days? I've had this sketch for a hundred years (since it's on looseleaf I suspect I was doodling instead of algebra-ing, or some such). I have a hankering to do Something Big -- physically big -- and I think it has possibilities.
The clothespin people are just about ready for their adventure. They're in the book press -- a stack of 2 The Beautiful Cookbooks, Hiroshige's 100 Famous Views of Edo, and An Atlas of the Universe -- being flattened. The covers are so close to done that I think I will finish them tonight during the ball game. . . and then off to Ohio they go. And then I can post them. I can't say that I'm done being anxious (several people in the exchange are much more accomplished I am) but the fun part of this exchange is dominant.

Well, it is all about fun. And you already have seen my less-than-brilliant sketches!
Enjoy your studio and go creatively mad for a while!
Mel...this is a great geometric with so much possiblity in regards to depth perception with color values. I can 'see' it already....inspirational! Perfect for your Vermont get away. I think you'll have a wonderful time.
It amazes me how just straight lines can have so much depth. This is really intriguing. I think it has great possibilities.
btw - I'm anxious a little too, I keep changing my mind on what to put in others' books, so much easier when it's just your own. Then I realize the variety of styles and medias and colors of everyone's art together makes it so interesting.
