Many years ago, we went to dinner at a restaurant in Chinatown with our friends Mike and Cindy. On the menu, sea bass was listed as ‘market price’. Since Mike was interested in the sea bass, he asked the waiter what it cost. The waiter responded with ‘market price’, which lead Mike to ask what the marketContinue reading “The Sea Bass Update Saga”

More Paper Quilt Collages & Drawings
I had stopped making the Paper Quilt Collages that I was working on a few months ago. I enjoyed the drawing aspect of it, but making the paper quilts appealed to me less. After thinking about it I realized that it was the structure of trying to make the collage quilt-like that I no longerContinue reading “More Paper Quilt Collages & Drawings”

Recently, I completed some more drawings from additional figurines. Here they are along with the information on where to view theContinue reading “More Ancient Figurine Drawings”
Tree drawings
Last month I dedicated lots of time to drawing trees, especially trees with deep cavities where some critter may have taken up residence. Well, I’m not going to be posting those because, frankly, they are nice but not very interesting. Sort of run in the mill everyday tree drawings.

I was very fortunate to receive a grant to have some professional editing done with an emphasis on being ableContinue reading “Exhibition Talk Video”
Drawings – Seed People
Not long ago I mentioned that I like to sit and doodle. Many of my doodles recently have been these characters that I decided to call seed people. The thought of seeds kept coming into my mind – first from the word ‘Seed’ that I made during my lettering class then through a guided meditationContinue reading “Drawings – Seed People”
Drawings – Eras of Creation
There was scholar by the name of Marcus Borg whose focus for his many books was historical interpretations of sacred texts. An overall theme in a chapter of a recent book I read was how ancient communities explained where the world came from. Many of us are familiar with the Creation story from the firstContinue reading “Drawings – Eras of Creation”
Drawings – Ancient Figurines
I was searching for images in the public domain to show during a talk I was going to give on the element of shape in art. It dawned on me that the ‘go to’ is always paintings and I got to thinking that sculpture would be so much more fun for exploring shape. Many ofContinue reading “Drawings – Ancient Figurines”
