Yesterday

  A good day for a jaunt - off to Portsmouth.  Stopped at brie's Boutique.  A great place, collected by a woman with a good eye: Brie.  Out of the way trip until the bridge is opened, but worth the trip. Great deals!

Went downtown - try Fat Belly's, and go upstairs to eat or enjoy a drink, on the iced bar. Interesting! A place with ambience, good food and prices, and some nice folks in the bar area.
Found one of those red buckets and a bell, too.

Ended the day's trek at Popovers. It always looks crowded and not worth the wait. I have one word for that - Wait!  and get the sundae.

Red Ravens ($300, acrylic)

Where Have I Been?

Not much from me in the way of posts this past month - art exhaustion, seasonal exhaustion, etc.

However, there are other things of interest for readers:  for those of you in NH, go over to the Currier Art Museum  Enjoy a show that may not appear anywhere else - Escher.  Yes, a private collection of this amazing work, 180 pieces in all. See a chronological display of work that stretches over three rooms. (Couches, manipulatives, a video, magnifying glasses are all provided on site.) If you are not a member, check Currier's website for hours of free admission - and enjoy Escher for a $5 fee.

Go to Portsmouth - enjoy holiday lights, Popovers' bakery, a stroll.

Contribute to the bellringers with a red kettle.  Share the happy!

I've Been Resting

And waiting for inspiration...

This was inspired by a short newspaper article and photo

This was part of an ad in the NYT

This one is real, taken about half a mile from the studio

Happy Turkey Day!

Some Art Has a New Home

Look up Brie's Boutique on Facebook - She will be featuring some of my pieces.
Stop by her place - most interesting.  It's small, funky, and has great buys. (You'll like her, too.)

Nope, these very real guys are already taken. Love the holiday spirit.

YOU KNOW YOU'LL NEED IT!

The interminable holiday season is approaching - what better way to enjoy Tday's spirit than by wearing a proper tee?

Pick one up at Arts in Action (Londonderry) this weekend (Sat OR Sun) I'll be in the Shady Hill Greenhouse. The tees are with me. They go home with you for $18.

Where Is Shady Hill Greenhouse???

It is at 1 Adams Rd, not far from Mack's Apples (230 Mammoth Rd)  It's set back - but on the corner of Adams and Mammoth.

Deb made a sign - look for a heavily-weighted sandwich-style sign AND a large parking area.

See you.

So, C'mon!

Be Happy!

It's New

As promised, here is a look at the work in progress:

It's called "Buffalo"  acrylic 24" x 36"

Where the ArtGypsies Will Be on Nov 8 & 9

You've already seen the promotion for Art in Action - come and see artists creating art while you're checking  out their offerings.  Deb and Peg will be in Shady Acres Greenhouse.

"Roadside Stand"  acrylic 8" x 14"  $75

"Rectangles"   24" x 36"   $300

Tomorrow, I will post the piece started yesterday - it's different.

Does It Look Like a Postage Stamp?

Maybe a batik hanging?

Check Us Out for Holiday Cards & Decor

Are you kidding? Look at the rain!

Looked out the window this AM....time to get the bootmat by the front door.

Some Experimentation

Yes, in the shabby interest of making some cash, I have just arranged for the following design to be
used in printing gift wrap and summer fabric.

The Pumpkin Festival

In spite of yesterday's gloomy looks and unbreathable air, off we went to Keene yesterday.

Streets were busy, and soon, very crowded. Pumpkins everywhere!

We walked, we looked at costumes, noted the tree-huggers.

We worked our way up to the Grand Pyramid-

Saw some arty cutting during the long walk back--

I hear that things got frenzied later on...

A shame  Let's hope for better next year.

The Latest

Here is the newest SW (dreaming) work - finished last night.

Family Portrait

This is on canvasboard- It's called "Mom & Me"
Will be available on a tee - just order ($18)

You Know It's Coming...

This will be in December - wait for it!

Give Credit to the Author

  This image is available on cards at the Art in Action/Londonderry. The original painting is available - on a tee, or as the canvas (24" x 36") unframed.
The author, by the way, is Shakespeare (Hamlet)

A Close-up, Please

For those who have asked about the tee shirt - yes, they are available.
Right now, I have "White Wine Goes With WHAT?????" ready.

If you would like another of my paintings on a tee, contact me.  All tees are $18

They're Coming!

Get Ready!

Really, We Need You

Yesterday, a lecture. Today, no. Just keep in mind, when you're touring an artist's work - we need you.

Support Your Local Artists!

   Today you are receiving a short lecture:

     Support the people who are brave enough to pay for a chance to exhibit their best work!  We are working for free, until one of you makes a purchase.
   Musicians work for free at open mics for years, I know that.  Are they asked to pay for that chance? NO. Are musicians and performers constantly  asked to give away the songs, stories, plays that they have written?  It may sound like sour grapes, but artists are.
    Do people think that singers and performers and writers should be grateful that  their work is publicly shown without any recompense?  Artists are expected to do so.
   Being an artist is my choice, but I don't expect the plumber (a talent in his/her own right) to work without reward. My paper carrier gets a holiday tip. The lawn crew gets paid.  Consider artists another hard-working professional group - PLEASE!

I'm just saying.   

Art is Still in Action

  Am still working toward that Nov goal.  I do hope that some of you readers will show up and see what a group of us can do...Here is one of my favorite collages (12" x 36"

Here is a painting which will be finished by show time:

(also 12" x 36")

And for Sunday

Two Cats

My Starry Night

    This is "Fiesta", a painting.

 Prices??
   Small collages are $20.  Prices will rise to $150, depending on size.
Paintings start at $20, and go to $250, depending on size.
