because I can
If I’ve been remiss in blogging, it’s only because I’ve been blogging. I’ve been helping Mark with Irreverent Vegan a lot lately. There’s so much food-related stuff to do this time of year, what with putting the gardens to bed, buying up boatloads of tomatoes at the farmer’s market for canning, making pesto from end-of-season basil, etc. Mark made swoon-worthy pesto and tomato pasta and baked green tomatoes last night. Check out our action on that blog and let us know what you think.
So, some stuff has been happening on the art front as well. Mark and I stretched this monster last week:
Though sadly it was a rainy day when we stretched it and the humidity affected it. It was tight as a drum when I left the studio last Thursday. When I returned to the studio, it was as wrinkly and saggy as all get-out. Great sadness ensued. For me. Then after about ten minutes of moping, (and since I have a painting due for a show in December) I got my stuff together and started painting on a different canvas. I altered my Photoshop mock-up to be suited for a vertical rather than a horizontal format and shazam! I’m back in business. This painting involves big circles, for which I fashioned a very high-tech compass out of a brooch, some string and a sponge brush. Macgyver, eat your heart out.
I also co-curated an exhibition at EMU called Contemporary Painting, which I’m really happy with. More on that later.
And, because our cats have been so dang photogenic lately, a bunch of cat photos. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
