Unstressed?

Am I unstressed? I did everything I could today to get unstressed, and it was like there was some impish being following me around saying "oh no you don't, not that easy!" Exhausting. So although it's been a rough day in odd ways, I am happy to post some more paintings, which reminds me, I need to paint today! This is what comes out of me.

A Post About Paint

NESTING

HAMMOCK

Well, it's not always about paint, and today it is. In my years as an artist I have always enjoyed paint and pigment as medium. Included in this I'll say I really enjoy printmaking as well, although it has been decades since I have done any printing. I adore the flexibility (sometimes too flexible!) of paint, I love the sheerness, the layering, the thickness, the permanence, the impermanence, the fluidity - literally, and the ways I have experimented in manipulating it. Most of these works are dyes, watercolors and some crayon and colored pencil. I like how one begins and you can't tell where use of the other ends. I find myself at times using the same brushstroke over and over and over again, sitting and reinforcing the motion. For me it's the motion, not always the colors. I quite often don't use more than 3 colors, at least not for now. But the motion itself - very rigid sometimes, and then at other times super flowing and expressive - and both are expressive... This is what comes out of me.

Process...

So it goes... the process of putting my art up continues, I paint, I post. It's a balancing act. I'm sometimes so intellectualized I get nothing done. I am at a point where this is nearly part of my routine, so far, so good! This is what comes out of me!

 I have two pieces in a show called EQUILIBRIUM at the PFO Gallery in northern NJ. The show will be up from March 26-May 12th, opening is March 31st from 5-7pm. The address is 399 Route 10, Whippany NJ! Woo Hoo! Now for 3 more paintings...This is what comes out of me!

Allergies!

Don't know what it is, I'm allergic to something! Down for the count as it were! At least I get to paint and chill out; not much structure in my life at the moment... Here are three more paintings! This is what comes out of me...

Music Makes It Happen

Waterfall   1/12

I listen to a lot of music. I'm too scattered to work on a music blog, and I fit right in with the freeform element of WFMU. It's rare that I'm not listening to something, regardless of the genre. My art is not necessarily influenced by what I listen to, at least I don't think so. Latest couple of paintings... This is what comes out of me!

Had a chance to live a little bit today and take small bites of fresh air, mmmm! Cracked my back and my neck and have returned to toss a few more paintings on here. With Care, uh huh, oh yes!  This is what comes out of me!

Together

What beautiful weather, motorcycles and kids playing ball; deer out taking a stroll as well. It's hard to take myself away from doing nothing and absorbing the outside - to post these! But I am on a mission to at least have this work out there so I don't feel like I'm a hermit with my artwork. Three more today! This is what comes out of me...
