the swarm

i love flickr. there are so many incredible artists from around the world -- sometimes you have to search a bit -- but well worth the effort.

so now i have a new favorite (sorry randel -- from acollageaday -- you now have competition!

printtroll is a fabulous printmaker and -- never thought this possible -- a bigger packrat and collector of all things paper than i am. his swarm series is fabulous! and i am happy to say that i won a free swarm by posting on his blog http://www.printtroll.com/. my new nickname is miss persistant. i like that. it paid off for me wonderfully:)

so now i am a keeper of a swarm. i plan on being the best keeper there is.

time to regroup

after many months of ill health, family issues, too much work and wintertime dullness, i'm finally back to work. with deadlines looming i've returned to my dining room turned studio with all the fear and apprehension one can feel after a long absence from art making. so here is one of the aceos i made yesterday. i have several large canvases waiting, and a couple of unfinished mixed media pieces to work on before life intrudes again -- my son will be back home at 4:00. the push is on!
