WIP – Completion…set adrift again…
It is done! What began as night pacing (see my December 6, 2009 blog post); has culminated into the finale. I am now in that stage where the crescendo has ended. I have the feeling of not being anchored; I am adrift, until I delve into the next project. Of course, I'll sketch and create, but it is a different energy than being possessed by a painting screaming to get out! Sometimes the best way to describe the creative zone, would be mania, crescendo, then an anti-climatic feeling sets in, finally a sadness that it's over; and then peace, but...then it starts all over again. Remember to nurture your body, mind and spirit and being adrift ... Continue Reading »
Work-In-Progress – A Detail
Some of the details of my Work-In-Progress contain various symbols and snakes are one of them. Some cultures hold snakes in high esteem while other cultures despised them.

Professional Fine Artist Network
For you, fine artist bloggers, I've found another great place for professional artists to network and to promote themselves. No, pFAn (their acronym) is not paying me for the advertising plug, I think of it as another way to promote yourself, if you're an artist and it's free until the end of the year! We artists, who are depending on our livelihood, should check it out. I'm an artist that shares and every artist has something to share and the world is big enough for all of us to do so. Professional Artist Network is a networking index for fine artists and consultants working in the hospitality, healthcare, corporate and public art ... Continue Reading »
