Ahhhhhh- ART!

WOW! I'm living a DREAM!

Taking art classes- living with, looking at, breathing in ART!

Colors have always held me transfixed- the way that they meld into one another and then transform into their pure forms and then transition into yet another color is mesmerizing!

BUT! Black & White always holds me spell-bound!

Now just WHY IS THAT? I don't know! I may never figure it out! For now- I'm just going to accept each view as it is; but, I can't help but "colorize" what is originally b&w and gray-scale whatever is in color! So... today- as I was going over the most recent drawing assignment and preparing it for submission- I got "smart" and thought... hey? Why not scan it in and play with it in photo-shop before I apply any more ink to the original? Hey! THIS IS FUN!

Okay. okay. My favorite "transformation" was when I stained-glass it after having applied a few other coloring filters- but, I can't turn THAT in for this particular assignment! Well... when I've got "free-time" on my hands I'll have to committ it to paper, too! This big exam on identification of prehistoric art pieces is looming and I must concentrate and get my formal analysis (a portion of which will be included in my research paper) completed for next week. THAT- and get some Ferncliff artwork created and loaded at CafePress because Ferncliff is only FIVE weeks away, GASP!

PANIC!

HYPERVENTILATE!

BREATHE!

OH! Just glancing around the studio here and gazing on this piece calms me! You know WHY???? I think it's because applying all these teeny weeny little bitty lines is so PEACEFUL! Who KNEW???

Happy Friday! I'm off to tidy up the house, drive into Arkadilly and cut some matboard and take Mae for a pedicure! Then... maybe, we'll head off over the mountain to Hot Springs to see drawing instructor's debut exhibit at the Blue Moon Gallery. The link above is her mentor's, Audrey Flack, site! I'll post Debi's after I've seen the show!
