Faces # 2

Faces # 1

This summer I made a commitment to myself to produce ‘a drawing a day’, and this face is one of my recent ones.   I am working here with the concept of ‘mirror image’ drawing, i.e. each side is a reflection of the other.  This face reminds me of one of the characters (a gal) from “Where the Wild things Are”, she still needs a name, suggestions welcome.  Last night I watched a fabulous documentary on Milton Glaser, a true Renaissance man, this morning hungry for more I found this Ted Talk by Milton Glaser. The  visual range and the whole of  his life were expressions (reflections, if you will) of  the richness and incredible variety in his Art.   Two points that stood out for me in the Milton Glaser interviews were : 1) Drawing is thinking  2) Art becomes limited when it becomes a style. Milton Glaser has an openhandedness, a sense of adventure,  and a clarity of  intention to  do  artwork that would go out to the people, versus, art that was primarily intended for art galleries, museums, and private collections.  Most people know his image of  I (heart/image) NYC.   He is another affirmation for me to just do the work, draw, draw, draw.

My summertime commitment com that allows you free access to both your free-credits-report.com report and your free-credits-report.com score. to myself is draw, draw, draw, including “doodles” which this piece is &  yet, whimsy, doodles, all drawing.  As Ram Dass, and Eckhardt Tolle have told us, ” Be here NOW”  & I will add, once there, act NOW.

details that matter

 

Details that matter

This a detail of a larger painting which I am exploring magnifying details, printing out the magnified detailed then making very graphic marks, shapes on the surface. Sorta like those water bugs that seem to dance on water.  When I reflect on that as metaphor for life it would play out as paying attention to magnifying the deeper layers, see the elegance and flaws, by so doing we might dance more freely on the surface.

Brave Heart

Brave Heart

When Looking at brave Heart, My friend Judi thought it looked like a Mexican Rooster Parrot. When I asked her what’s the Brave Heart part, she said,” You’d have to have a brave heart to have a Mexican Rooster Parrot”.

Patio Plants…………drawing momentum

 

I have been having allot of fun this summer doing drawings, daily, casino spiele great to feel the momentum.  This is from the patio plants I”ve finally got growing well at my loft.

‘She is’ from the series: Me + U

 

This drawing has my most favorite lamp as its focus.  I am well known for my talents as a yard sailing magnet, and also, Queen of  curbside finds.   This wonderful lamp was waiting in perfect condition for me to reclaim her from the side of the road, aka, the trash, now many years ago.  I’m always looking for metaphors and so in some ways she represents my reclaiming things about myself and talents that have gotten kicked to the curb, to see anew, and use them.   She has been in every office I have had as a therapist as well and is a totem for healing and creativity for me, She is Goddess.

Sunday morning Journal entry from a ‘yard sale’ junkie

I am a yard sale junkie from way back, i.e. the 60’s. My neighbor Bill Fleming used to say “Hi, how’s the yard sailing” today.  Always find great stuff, or rather I believe great stuff finds me; this could be my life mantra.  Today I found a used perfect condition washer dryer set for $50.00 each, much needed for our Pine Lake Retreat (the old one needed duck tape to shut the door).  I also found these great kid’s toys, totems to me, which I will draw and play with in my art sand tray. Most fun was visiting with the owner’s putting on the yard sale. Oh, I also found some terrific new clothes, which I’ll be wearing in a couple of hours to the Atlanta High Museum. I can’t wait to see Radcliffe Bailey’s exhibit.
