More found photos

These are a bunch of completed paintings that I have in my house or at my office. Some, I have worked on more. About half I'm calling overpaintings; I decided to paint over the old painting but leave some showing through the top layer.

Soft Spoken

Soft Spoken

Intended as an angry painting,

you grew

calm, springy, beautiful.

Frantic, frenetic energy transformed to

curvaceous, sketchy rhythms.

Modern dance between thick paint and knife.

a knife that doesn’t cut

but molds, spreads, mixes, carves.

Possessed,

revealing me


a woman speaking in tongues.

Missing Paintings

I am missing some of my painting documentation, here. There are many more with no photographs yet. I'll get on top of that soon.

Anyway, here are some of the paintings missing from this blog but made back in 07-09:

Viridian Mood, 40"x28", 2009

Blues Progress, 40"x28", 2009

Chrysanthemums, 28"x40" (Accepted to judged exhibition at Peachtree Presbyterian in March 2008)

Sees Jesus, 24"x36" (Accepted to judged exhibition at Atlanta Artists Center in Summer 2008)

Inspired by a September Dogwood, No. 3, 36"x48", November 2008

Events Upcoming

I've signed up for 2 events, trying to light a fire under myself to get back to creating artwork.

In April, I'm participating in a neighborhood art event, a gallery at our clubhouse on April 14 from 5-8.

In May, May 4th, I've volunteered to be an artist at Barnwell's Artist Day from 8-12. I'm so excited. Sam hasn't seen me be an artist much, but I feel like this will be important as his mom to step up. At the Artist Day, I'll have some of my paintings with me, and I'll just kind of show the kids what I do and talk to them about my process. I'm not sure how I will transport the wet oil paintings from the school to home, but if that's the only detail I'm worried about, I'm good.

Exciting prospects.
