Interdependence Goes Unkempt

Lorrie Moore has a wonderful short novel entitled, "Who Will Run the Frog Hospital?" based on a drawing/painting done by one of the characters in the book. I think this is my interpretation of that title even though I have lost the visual image of how she described the original artwork in the book. Nonfictional frog deformities and erasure of species adds to the ominousness of the situation. This will be my last painting in awhile as I'm set up to move and have things packed away. August will be here soon enough!

Open House This Weekend!

Looking at that cleanly swept floor you have to know it's open house time again. Due to a running race that I got sucked into training for I will only be there Saturday, not Sunday, from 11-6. School is coming up so this will be my last one for awhile- prices have been knocked down and I'm up for bargaining- woo hoo! It's May already- celebrate with art!

Also- new slideshow to the right with all my unsold paintings there, I don't know why that has taken me so long to figure out. I hope it's helpful!

two more

The top one was done right after my sister's nursery painting- I think the influences are still there. The bottom one is the most recent, done after the "Inside This Soft World." With details and everything. Sorry, I usually don't mix up the order so much!

top: Shifting Ground, 20" x 24" Sold.

bottom: Washed Away, 12" x 18" Sold.

a few new ones

It's been awhile since I've posted! eek. I am starting school in the fall down in Lincoln, Nebraska for an MFA and am scrambling a bit figuring everything out. Still painting, but trying to stick to days where mind is not wandering (difficult). Here are a few that I finished recently, there will be more tomorrow!

top: Inside This Soft World (in reference to Mary Oliver's poem "Mindful") Sold.

bottom: that's just me playing, I don't know if this one will be for sale

They are both 12" x 18".

Discovering the Bug Motel

This was commissioned by my lovely brother-in-law for my sister in honor of their first child, Alex. I did not want it to look especially babyish, but playful and soothing to hang in the nursery. We kept a good surprise- also pictured is Laura unwrapping it just after Christmas. (Yes, it was wrapped in a trash bag.)

More little guys

The top three are on small canvasses and the last two are on paper.
All are now sold.

Election stress, over.

Now onto the holidays... Here are some smaller paintings I'm doing on paper. I'm not going to frame any of them this year like I've done in the past. Just a sampling, more are coming out!

Also- Louisville is having its 7th Anniversary Show next Saturday, the 15th. Come celebrate!
