"A day at the beach is like silk in your hands..." I dunno. Even though there's sand and salty water, it's just how it feels to me...silky, blythe days unfurling in color and doodles.P.S. I'm using my ipad for blogging, including taking the pictures. The color is not nearly so vibrant as the actual page … Continue reading A Day at the Beach…

Splurging at the Factory
Friday mornings at the Factory here in Kernersville is one of the highlights of my week. There may be only one other than myself, or there might be four of us, but we have such fun drawing and talking together. I'm incredibly behind in showing you the drawings from these sessions, but here's one with … Continue reading Splurging at the Factory
The Beauty of Line & Watercolor
A couple of days ago, Maddie and I sat out in our backyard, in the cool morning, to draw. I had several sketchbooks (as I do when using watercolor, so that I can move on to another drawing while one is drying), pens, watercolors; and she had her big sketchbook, pencil, and markers.

The subject was "limitations", which he says "Every artist has" and that he is continually inventorying his.

Responding to Rutenberg
ID #103 I've recently discovered an artist whose work and words I'm eating up these days. To say that his paintings are delicious would be correct...the color, movement, and draw-you-in composings on canvas are breathtaking. His words are equally inspiring. Brian Rutenberg lives and works in New York City. His work is about as far … Continue reading Responding to Rutenberg
