Fall Break= Production Time

10/20/2017

0 Comments

 
I love Fall Break! I turn into the nastiest studio rat working all day and night catching up on carving. I live in my PJ’s, drink coffee till I’m jacked up and work like a dog only taking pup-bonding breaks. Below are some new pieces done thus far.

Pause on Art: Midterms & Recruiting

10/14/2017

Stay posted. There is a temporary pause on new art due to midterms & recruiting events. I’ll be in a grading hole with portfolios, exams, rubrics, and kilns to stack and fire. I only get two days off for break but I plan on working my tail off...and there’s tons of that!!!

Drawing is my Calgon...it takes me away!

Tonight was bitter sweet. It was our last scheduled day to draw Etta before my student Allison’s senior show. Above are the 20 minute drawings I completed. I came into the class a bit on the edge with foot pain but quickly got lost in line and form. Drawing has the ability to wash your problems away. I’m hoping to get a group together to continue monthly figure sessions.

Back in the studio after surgery working on southernisms.

I’d love to give a huge thank you to all that sent well wishes including flowers, cards, and presents! I feel very fortunate to have a great support group. After almost a week of sitting in my butt, the foot doc said I can get back in the studio as long as I don’t lift anything. Today I’ve carved two pieces on southernisms. These two are some of my favorites. Above is “I’m as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a rocking chair factory.” Below is “You’re grinnin’ like a fox crappin’ a peach seed.” These two will be going to the Southern Sampler show in NY. Tell me what you think. I have a list of more southernisms but I’m about to go back to southern music influences. I’ve been researching piles of Dolly images.
