I started work on a new small sculpture piece. The black sphere needs another coat of paint on the inside. I also altered a small piece for the installation Lay Still that will receive the rubber tubing.

The Ft. Wayne Art Museum had some amazing pieces to see. Here are a few discoveries:  Jane O'Neal "Dead Apple Cactus Flower"  Unknown to me  Kirsty Mitchell "The Secret Locked in the Roots of the Kingdom", 2014 This incredibly fantastic photo is quite large and the detail was astounding. This inspired me to look up more of her work on-line. I am a fan!   Alexander Solomon   Sun shining through a glass sculptural work by Winnie Teschmacher.  In the art museum's gift shop, there were these nice sculptures by Mary Pat Wallen. Obviously she is inspired by Giacometti.  I was walking down the sidewalk and loved the sunlight on this flower.  My mom and I visited Wabash Indiana to look at a bunch of public sculptures, which were okay. However, the best find of the day was in an antique shop and discovered some outsider/folk art in a back room. So bizarre!     While in the Midwest, I attempted to take pictures of an approaching thunderstorm. It moved so fast that it was difficult to capture. Here is the best picture from the bunch.  I was walking out of my doctor appointment and saw these flowers that I had to photograph.   I felt really frustrated while painting and drawing this, and it shows.   I'm working on a black background.  Mark McBeth's piece  Another by Mark McBeth  Jo's work  Jo's work  Jo's work  Jo's work The theme of the show is Equilux and completed a sketch tonight called Transition.  Today I finished my tea kettle cozy and worked on another element for the installation Lay Still. I'm close to finishing this part.     I experimented with some night photography, but only ended up with one decent one.  Discovered this wonderful painting in an art magazine.  Michelangelo Buonarroti The Torment of Saint Anthony ca. 1487-88 oil and tempera on wooden panel 18.5" x 13.25"  I was also intrigued about this sculpture by Kevin Francis Gray called Ghost Boy.   Finally, this new genres installation by Baseera Khan called Braidrage also looks cool. I'd love to see the performance live.   After my last attempt, which ended in an over-blended painting (see earlier blogpost), I attempted to restrain my desire to get rid of hard edges. I'm pretty happy with this.  I scrubbed at this painting many times and it lacks contrast and excitement.  Took many pictures of mold today, but didn't have one that I love. This one was perhaps the best of them.  Headed down to Pacifica with an artist friend and explored.           |
