Wednesday's Wall Mask


King of Cups or King Neptune measures 10" x 17" acrylic, beads, glitter, cheesecloth, clay, wire and fabric. He hangs with about eight other pieces of art over my bathtub in a salon style. It's quite a mood with candles lit and steamy bath water. The walls are a light tinted rose and they glow in candlelight.
Several years ago three of us picked a tarot card and each made a mask. It was great fun researching the card and the connecting mythology. It's not that I have so many walls (my home is small) but I change the art...always moving things out and around and I have a little shed outside where I keep art and seasonal clothes.
We are leaving next week for a vacation so I've been out of the studio doing ordinary life...stop at the drug store, vitamin store, grocery store and cleaners. Last minute shopping for travel essentials...we are driving so there is no end to the amount of essentials! Pablo says he is a spatial relations expert and I am giving him a challenge. Packing my Styrofoam 4ft noodle for swimming (I can't swim without it)and beach towels for the pool and bags of books should be interesting!

Everything Aqua Blue


Last October, my friend Deena gave me a gift for my birthday and informed me that the gifts would continue throughout the year...about every two months! So yesterday, I received yet another gift: A gold bag with everything Aqua blue...one of my favorite colors. I love it all and can't help but wonder how these stones, beads, buttons and all will find their way into my life and art. The socks I will wear tomorrow!
Studio: I've been framing and will be dropping off two pieces for an upcoming show/event. The local paper's headline: "Wild At Art " More than 400 artists unite in a stunning county-wide exhibit where assemblage meets collage. Galleries, museums are all participating. My work was juried into an Art League Gallery and the opening will be in March. This time I will take my camera!
