THESE DAYS
whatever you have to say, leave
the roots on, let them
dangle
And the dirt
Just to make clear
where they came from

macro shots of painting
I need to work on more shots like this because the details are important.
I decided to give one of my recent paintings a makeover today. I had already worked on this one for 2 or 3 days, and thought it was finished. However, when I got the photos ready for an Ebay auction last week, I started to have second thoughts. Suddenly, I didn’t like her as much as I originally thought. I went ahead and posted the auction, but something about the painting haunted me all week. The more I looked at the painting, the more I didn’t like it.
I decided that if it didn’t sell, I was going to take that as a sign that it definitely needed more work. So, when the auction ended Friday night without a bid, I knew what I was going to do this weekend. Re-work the painting. Makeover time!!
These photos don’t show the true colors of the painting, but I had fun making them. The light on my desk isn’t clear white, so there is a yellow hue on the painting. I’ll be re-taking the photos before offering it for sale again. I still think it needs a tad bit more work first, but she is showing an improvement, which I like.
ps: The video I posted of Lola yesterday got some attention on Sick Puppies website. Lola’s a super star!! YAY!!

Guess what?! I’m so excited!!! I got new video editing software!! So, for those of you wanting to see Miz Lola in action..here she is!!! YAY!! I know it’s kinda dark, and grainy. That’s because it was a gloomy, murky day here in Kansas. My camera doesn’t like low light. But, we did the best we could with what mother nature had to offer.
Stay tuned! More videos to come.

while she’s curled up in the lacy tablecloth..
there’s a table in my studio which holds the printer, desk calculator, postage scale, candle, and other odds and ends. i covered it with a lace tablecloth to make it look pretty. directly underneath the table is lola’s bed, so she can be beside me while i’m on the computer. only thing is.. lola uses the tablecloth as a blanket when she’s cold, which is most of the time.
she’s refusing to eat her “dog food”, (which is really cat food cuz she hates to eat dog food) until i hand feed her. she’s not spoiled, tho. oh, no!
i must go and feed her now. she’s whining.

this was taken last week when it was realllly cold. lately, it feels like spring (50s) during the day, and arctic at night (negative numbers).
i had this almost ready to post last night. but something happened. i got distracted. drank a little too much wine and watched Into the Wild, directed by Sean Penn. and well..posting this photograph was not on my mind anymore.

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.
