      Working Large on Small Time 11/18/2010

      Greetings and salutations from the far away land that is my mind! I always pondered the silliness of …’if you think time flies now, wait until you get older!’ Now I know it is not silliness at all, it is FACT. I think I have been swooning between the 3rd and 4th dimension and it has distorted all of my free time and sucked it down a big black hole! Ah, but enough of that! Needless to say, time has surely gotten away from me and I am so thankful to the kind souls that take time out to check on me to see if I’m still kickin’…if it weren’t for these e-mails of inquiry and support I would certainly be lost in my own little world! Why the time warp you ask? Well…since you asked…In August I went back to school to brush up on some left brain skills and I have been immersed in class, studies and homework…so much homework! At any rate…all very left brained and the right brain has suffered a bit I’m afraid. But the semester is soon to be over, and I’m anxiously waiting the time when I can get back to my regular studio hours and let my right brain rule again! That is FOR SURE.

      So! Let’s catch-up!

      Although my time has been limited, I am still making a mess in Studio 8. I am working large with small time you might say. I am currently working on two pieces right now. A 6’x6’ canvas that I think I am going to call “Chair Legs” and a smaller work that is 28x48” that I am thinking of calling “Hidden Compassion”. Here is a little sneak peek of Hidden for you…

      I have also been working on some drawings and some studies for future paintings…so on all fronts…stand by!

      Something kind of fun and exciting came my way this month. I am very proud to announce that I was chosen by Dick Blick to be the Artist of the Month for November! Along with this honor I received a nice gift certificate that should arrive in the form of paint, brushes and such at my door any moment now! This was very exciting and definitely a right brain bright spot in my month!

      Looking ahead there is a lot going on…don’t forget to visit
      ARTBOX Downtown to see my work on display there, and also don’t forget to mark your calendars for the 2nd Friday in December. As is the case on EVERY 2nd Friday of the year, the Artists Upstairs will have the welcome mats out and you are invited to tour the studios, chat with the artists, drink and be merry! I’ll try to clean Studio 8 up by then…but, if all goes well, I’ll make it even messier for you! Keep your fingers crossed and your right brain energy flowing!

      Until next time…ROCK ON!

      Greetings art lovers and fans! Time is just flying by and the paint and concrete have been flying as well in King Studios! I have been getting a lot of questions about my new work and I’m pleased to announce that at the November 2nd Friday Open Studio night at the Creative Arts and Event Center –  I will indeed have some new work to share with you in Studio 8! I’m also excited to share with you that my Juarez Painting Series will be on display in the J. Ward Walker room – all hanging together for the first time ever! If you have a chance to come out to the event I would love to see everyone and chat about my new work. Click HERE for directions. As usual you will be able to find me hanging about Studio 8 on the 2nd floor, as all the Artists Upstairs Studio Artists will have the welcome mats out for you. It promises to be a fun night of music, wine and of course ART. For some insight and more discussion about my work, be sure to scroll down and check out the November installment of the WHBU Cagney King Artist in Residence Radio Show.

      I have received several e-mails about the picture featured on the November E-mail flyer. It is a detail from my ‘Fibonacci 42’ mixed media painting. Mixed media including but not limited to concrete, tempera, graphite, acrylic, collage, and oil paint. But of course the only way to really enjoy it is in person, and you guessed it, I will have it hanging in Studio 8 for you to spend some quality time with. You can also read a little more about the background of the painting HERE in my journal. And you can visit the CURRENT page to see it as well.
      Well…back to work! Lots to do before the Friday Night show. And remember, “when asked what to do with the weight of the world on his shoulders; Atlas merely shrugged.” And then I’m pretty sure he went to an art exhibit to help lift his spirits.
      Until next time!
      Rock on!

      Listen to the WHBU Cagney King Artist in Residence Radio Show!

        I am 98% Artist (110% at heart - but bad at math) and 2% human being. I keep working hard in the hopes that one day my art story will be like the great artist fairytale. You know the one - the one about how the poor, struggling artist rocking on the edge of insanity is toiling away in her studio day after day, when one day a handsome person comes to see her work, and decides that she should be rescued. From that day on they pay her to paint, pimp out her work and buy her beer. Everyone lives happily ever after.
        That...would be cool.
        Until then...I'll just keep trying to put square pegs in round holes.
