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!
