A Little Old & Something New


A metamorphosis of sorts is taking place in my Studio, today.

Sunbeams play across the Studio floor laying their own forms of architectural

design..

Quiet, with only the soft sounds of the music of an old tape titled

"Sax For Lovers" and the gentle melody of the water running in the

fountain.

I am intoxicated with my world.

It has been a long, long time that I have had the total freedom to go out to

the studio just to let myself be with the flow of creativity.

And, once there - as many of you understand - I stand in the middle of the floor

looking around, walking to the different stations there in . . . .

and wondering where do I start?  What do I pick up first?  I am blind

and blocked.  I feel excited - but, not sure where to place it.

I am blank.  I love the smells, picking and feeling the soft hairs of my brushes,

going to the well organized drawers of every imaginal thing that I have

collected for collage work - and just looking...... . . . . I then say to myself,

"Just begin".

So, here you will see the beginning of the layouts for my 13 collages that

will be sent to New Zealand for the" 18th International Collage

Exhibition And Exchange".

I love taking part in this exhibition; and over the years have met and become

friends with so many, many talented and inspiring artists from

every corner of the world.

Random Acts Of Artists'  Exhibit At Gallery 29


Yesterday, after an appointment and a stop at The Framing Loft, in Hermitage, Pa.,

I made a very enjoyable visit to Gallery 29 Of Sharon; 150 East State Street.

downtown Sharon, Pa.

The current exhibit is title " One Random Expression" and is by local artists


in the Random Acts Of Artists group.  I am very proud and honored


to be a part of a group of such very talented people.


The above slide show is only a partial view of the many fine art pieces


on display - ranging from sculptures, mixed media and photography.


The winter boat photo, "Visions Of Summer" is my first piece of photography


that I have had as a part of an exhibit.


The exhibit ends February 12, 2016.  And, if you have not had the opportunity

to view these marvelous pieces of art - you still have this


coming week.
