i worked on three canvases ... one barely, one a bit ... and one a ton ... here's the one i worked on the most ....
i've cut out bunches of parakeets to put on that branch .... i just ran out of time today .... and actually left it at allison's house ... and am going back NEXT friday .... hopefully i can finish it then ... before the parakeet joy has left my art soul .....but mostly what i did with allison all day was talk ... talk and talk and talk and talk and talk ...
we talked about our plans for studio cleaning ... we talked about our plans for painting ... we talked about what our next big thing is ... and ... eek! we didn't have a next big thing ... so we made one ... i said let's do a show together ... and she said YES ... and then we sorta figured it out .. made a plan ... got a glimmer of an idea ....called our favorite gallery and said, oh no, july is MUCH too soon, oh yes, next year is fine ..... so ... my next big thing? a two man show with my pal, al ... at lola's gallery ... opening night is april 15th, 2010 ... mark your calendar .. well .. .unless you are like me and your calendar doesn't go that far yet ...
so ... i got all artsy energized today ... i've been kind of artsy hum drum ho hum lately ... but by the time i left allison's house i was kinda giddy ... plans plans plans ... i'm making plans ...
i also think i'm going to paint a fork .... if i write it down here, i might remember to do it ....
if i haven't painted a fork by june, will someone please remind me that i wanted to!?
so? you ? any grand plans?

love this painting! can't wait tio see it with parakeets!
eliz- you always inspire me, your enthusiasm is contagious.
i was wondering when you were going to start painting cutlery since making the costumes!
as for big plans? in the near future, finishing this razzafrackin, er, delightful children's novel - i'm so close, but am just not doing it; getting my gardens going, I already planted a couple of trees this week. almost time to start the veggie and flower gardens; then start writing the next big thing: i have some backburner projects i'd like to get to, probably the screenplay first. those characters have been doing their dance in my head.
Paint a fork? That opens up a whole set of interesting mental pictures.....
A show with Allison sounds great!
I like the backgroundon the latest branch painting.
oooh! parakeets - can't wait to see them sitting on that pretty branch!
AND a show with you and Allison - that sounds like one not to miss ... I soooo wish I lived closer.
hmmm ... remember to paint a fork. will try not to let that one slip through the cracks. :)
