“Magic Schoolbus”

   Finally finished a piece which I have been working on for quite some time. It has a LOT of memories and  thoughts and observations in it….mostly having to do with my son and his youth and growing up….a friend remarked that it reminded him of a line in a poem by Wordsworth…”shades of the prison house begin to close about the growing boy…” which is from Wordsworth’s “Ode: Intimations of Immortality”.

The Yellow Bus

 

….’tis the season….

Art is such a wonderful gift…and crafts as well.
Many small local shops and galleries usually have a some sort of holiday show, sale, bazaar and offer opportunities for buying something made with love and care, usually by a local artisan, to give as a gift to someone special.
This is also a chance to contribute to local communities and especially welcome is the thought that an artist actually sees a small profit for their time and energy as well as an encouragement to create more wonderful things!

What a sense of satisfaction to both the artist and the recipient when such a gift solicits a warm comment about how perfect a painting looks in a setting of your choosing or else how beautiful a scarf looks against your coat….or earrings dangling from your ears are seen with a smile and a small sense of delight.
Buy local, buy art, support artists and have a wonderful holiday!

the part no one ever tells you….

When you make something that’s one thing…what to do with it after that can become a problem.
I am currently running out of wall and storage space for a great many of my “Story Boxes” and other assemblage pieces. At the encouragement of several friends and family members I am exploring the link below and have uploaded 5 collages for sale (one of which is available as a paper print or canvas print).
Please check them out if you have a moment.

Saatchi Online Gallery

My friend, Boris Novak, from the Netherlands has urged me to upload art to the Saatchi Online Gallery….which I finally did this morning. Only one piece, so far, as I am getting ready to head out the door for work….but it seems like an excellent vehicle for getting one’s work seen and possibly sold.
