My godson (right) and his friend completed the sixth grade and put on a good show for us which featured interesting facts about different states on large hand-lettered banners rotated in sync with a fun song. I could hear the audience reading them out loud and exclaiming and gasping so I know I am not [...]
Yesterday a pipe came apart and required some hasty action. This picture shows the trench being dug outside and the demo of the sunroom floor on day one of the sudden onset remodeling. The floor was rotted out at the front from years of leaking and a poorly planned raised flower bed that sloped to [...]
It’s getting better all the time…
That is probably also true of the situation with the house, although on days like today it can be tough to remember. A little digging revealed a leak far more serious than anticipated. A trench is being dug by a friend and I am pulling up the floor of the [...]
The second day of class with the homeschoolers was full of interesting moments like the one above. Turns out the camera makes Rachel want to eat paint as badly as it makes me want to stick out my tongue and make silly faces! I also found out that the boys in the class would prefer [...]
Carol Stevens is the genius behind the camera for all the shots in my last post. You can check out more of her pictures from her Arkansas trip as well as some of her more serious work on her flickr pages. I miss her already and so I am spending way too much time looking [...]
I had the privilege of going over to the Art Colony and helping out with the quick spray down a couple of days before the parade. The car belongs to “Colonist” Antler Dan and is adorned with symbols which are common to his work, eagles and goddesses. Funny, the men were working on the [...]
The show at Abrya Studio was tons of fun! Our paintings clashed, but each found their admirers.
Jerri and I have a playful clash of our own going on. The past week of art talk and playing with artist friends is made that much sweeter by the fact that I spend most of my time [...]
We’re all the same same as clouds and butterflies. We just pretend to be something different.
uttered by the brilliant Amanda in Another Roadside Attraction by Tom Robbins
Here are some of the lovely clouds and butterflies I have been flitting and floating with lately. They came to karaoke last weekend after the White Street Walk [...]
Here’s the photo of the table I promised a couple posts back. I pulled this table out of the neighbor’s trash heap last summer and I use it on the patio. It was white, is plastic, and I stained it when I got it. Now that I have this group of students coming and painting [...]
Fun art show scheduled for this Saturday, which is going to be another perfect day in Eureka Springs- Art shows all over town, the art car parade cruisin’ by, music, bubbles, madness, and mayhem…Here is the press release for my showing of the girls of wonder paintings at Jerri’s studio. I hope you get [...]
Today was the first day of the class I am doing with the homeschool students. It was fantastic to share my space with these students who clearly love learning, life, and art. After I laid out some info about life in the studio (don’t lock yourself in the bathroom because there is no doorknob! and [...]
Wendi La Fey took these shots of me in my corner at Studio 36 White Street before the event began.
I took my two newest paintings and a big assortment of prints and cards. The most popular item this time was prints, framed and unframed, of a painting I did a couple years ago called rat-a-tat-tat, [...]
