Dinner Bell Ranch
Monday, June 8, 2009
My godson loves animals, always has. One of his favorite places to spend time is at the Dinner Bell Ranch. Here is about to ride up the mountain on Speck. When they returned, I was surprised to see he was in the lead. This weekend he went out to give Geralyn a hand on a [...]
art exhibit at the Governor’s Mansion
Friday, June 5, 2009
I had good news yesterday. This painting has been chosen for inclusion in the Arkansas Governor’s Mansion Association Arkansas Artist Exhibit. It will be on display at the mansion July 1 through September 25, 2009. I have been invited to attend a reception in honor of the artists and am hoping to rework my teaching [...]
new around town this spring
Thursday, June 4, 2009
There is a fun new art destination just outside Eureka Springs. Head toward Holiday Island any Thursday-Sunday and right across from Bear Creek Nursery, you will find the Clay House Project. The owner of this 50 acre piece of property has been working with local artists Nancy Paddock, a potter, and Ralph Wilson aka Mr.Shrine, [...]
My art is in the Arkansas Tour Guide, twice!
Tuesday, June 2, 2009
I picked up a copy of the 2009 Arkansas Tour Guide at Petit Jean State Park last week and had a good surprise.
On the page about Eureka Springs, the photo is of the Artery’s original installation and those huge kiwis are my painting. My godson and I were tickled by that and I mentioned it [...]
polymer clay, people!
Monday, June 1, 2009
Here is a silly polymer clay piece that I made from the distorted remnants of a face cane. Polymer clay is so much fun to work with and so forgiving that it is an equally great medium for people who are new to art and artists looking for inspiration to loosen up. I will be [...]
Petit Jean Mountain with Ryan
Sunday, May 31, 2009
The Arts In the Air exhibit at the Rockefeller Institute ended last week and the trip to pick up my paintings was the perfect opportunity for my godson and I to enjoy Petit Jean State Park. First stop was the overlook near the grave of Petit Jean. It provided tremendous views of the Arkansas River [...]
summer is coming
Friday, May 22, 2009
After rain and grey skies 18 out of 21 days, it finally feels like spring. I have done a thorough spring cleaning and if the view through the sparkiling windows doesn’t quite get me into the spirit of the season, my godson does. He has recently taken up running and his joyfulness after a run [...]
student paintings
Wednesday, May 20, 2009
One extra session later, these cheerful and hard-working girls completed their paintings. I am very happy with their ability to develop an idea and see it through to the finished work. Both Sam and Sabrina tried new techniques and found great success in carrying off what they sought to acheive. I like watching them make [...]
new girl heads to White Street Walk
Friday, May 15, 2009
Today is the 19th Annual White Street Walk in Eureka Springs. Lots and lots of artists are setting up their homes and studios to welcome shoppers and party goers. There will be a huge assortment of artwork, including paintings and prints, jewelry, pottery, and assemblage sculpture. I will be bringing some new originals, and framed [...]
Winthrop Rockefeller Institute on Petit Jean Mountain
Thursday, May 7, 2009
There was a brief reprieve from the rain when I arrived Friday for the art show at the Rockefeller Institute. I walked around the beautiful trails and over bridges made of stone and of trees sliced lengthwise. In no time I found myself hopping about like a kid without a care in the world. The [...]
