What’s new
Circles are fun as there’s no beginning, middle or end. To quote Feist, “the circle married the line” which as a side note is a great song with two different meanings. For me, I use circles as an ontological exploration of life circumstances and being. Here are three paintings – one is included in the online exhibition, Habitual, at Los Angeles Art Association running through December 31, 2022, the other is patiently waiting for a name and the third is Fixated/Freed.
Cookies and holiday reading
Tacos, pizza, guacamole are just a few of my favorite foods. Where does pie fit in? Recently, I was invited to a book signing at my friend’s home and we were greeted with pies…many pies. Beth M. Howard wrote World Piece. This is her memoir of traveling around the world to bring peace with one piece of pie at a time. It’s an inspiring read and she has received extensive media coverage from Forbes, Los Angeles Times, CBS This Morning, CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 and more.
Another book by my friend Robyn Jamison who is an artist in Austin, Texas is on a mission to make modern and contemporary art accessible to everyone in the world. Hip, hip, hooray Robyn. Her book, The Magic of Modern Art, is on my list to complete reading over the holidays.
Lastly, my holiday present to myself is Syllabus by Lynda Barry. All I needed was a little nudge from my dear friend to say “read this” and within minutes, it was purchased. It should be delivered to my doorstep within the next 24 hours.
Wrap up 2022
Sketchbook Freedom workshop is scheduled for December 31, 2022 from 1:30 to 3:30. Cost is $50 and includes sparkling wine and a sketchbook. This is a fun gathering and does not require any art expertise. It’s playful and practical. To reserve your spot in the workshop, please email me.
Happy holidays with much joy and love.
