Ok…I am experimenting here…added gold leaf to these…I plan on adding more color to bring out the gold and the lovers. I devised a petition similar to Brattleboro’s petition to arrest Bush and Cheney if come to Vermont. Brattleboro residents will vote at town meeting on whether President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney should be indicted and arrested for war crimes, perjury or obstruction of justice if they ever step foot in Vermont. The Brattleboro Select Board voted 3-2 Friday to put the controversial item on the Town Meeting Day warning. In similar suit…it is my goal to get this on the Montgomery ballot for town meeting…I plan on documenting the process via video…so will have many updates to report on.

Lovers Dance
29Jan08
This is one of three…possibly one of several…experimenting with lines and color…will most likely add to the background of this…think I am in a manic stage…after the kids went to bed…oil primed three large canvases…will convert the lovers dance ink sketches to oil…atleast I am painting during manic bouts…and not having sex with strangers…kidding…please…if thinking about sex all the time makes me a sex maniac…well so be it…a 30 something single girl with a vivid imagination…my imagination goes through periods of fullness and emptiness…riding this immense wave of fullness…and well how else to explain painting erotica…think i will go back and retouch some of my latest oils…they seem too subtle…having dinner with friends tonight…so need to clean my house… (18×24 watercolor and ink)
Mistake This For Love
28Jan08
I am a sap of a romantic…teary eyed watching Caroline and Ted Kennedy endorse Obama…comparing him to the way JFK inspired the people of America…what a beautiful and powerful endorsement…comforting to know there are politicians who are repeatedly in touch with their moral compass…there is hope for change. I am laughing at myself…stuck in a moment…wide awake…in the wee morning hours believing I am the pulse of the prophets…can’t figure out why everyone is not aware of that…jealousy…possibly…
Did three large watercolor and ink sketches of couples…pretty psyched about…I will work on tomorrow… (5×5 oil on linen Artboard) Artwork For Sale

What To Do With You
24Jan08
Why some woman get so caught up in new love…seems silly…delusional…crazy talk…married to the guy even before the first kiss…what is up with that. Not sure how I feel about this painting…I had to stop…seemed like the more paint I added…just could not get it the way I wanted it. C’est la vie. I am off to arrange my bedroom…have a new bedroom set…my grandparents sleigh bed…a gift from their wedding many moons ago…and still married…how did people do it back then…stay married for so long. I am changing my bedroom around…it is more welcoming…read somewhere to create a more inviting atmosphere…should place the bed facing the doorway…hocus pocus or feng shui…my room can use a harmonious facelift… (8×10 oil on canvas) Artwork for Sale
Gallery Vision
23Jan08
This is a photo of an artist gallery located in Florida. I have had this image on my mac desktop…a constant reminder of the vision for my home gallery…minus the palm trees and beach paintings. I promise I will find the artist website and link to her from this post…as her work is fabulous. For now…I am just borrowing her image to share with you my direction. You see…this is really where I want to be…follow a passion…risk taker…confident…I can make this work. I get sucked into recruiters luring me with high salaried positions…with lots of responsibility…frankly lots of headache…it stresses me out thinking how much I will be away from my kids…not to mention my own insanity…I am freaking out right now…so I need to make this work. And that is all I can do…is make it work. Thus today I am taking a personal day to move furniture…paint the studio apt…finish my downstairs bathroom…the things it would be nice to have a man around for…or a robot…regardless…I have to do it myself…and have the anxiety attack some other time. I have it rented to skiers next week…and am feeling overwhelmed with the time constraints of all the projects. Been dealing with frozen pipes all night…have not slept…not sure even if I can sleep at this time…need to put things in perspective…take a deep breath…I can do this…and all I want to do is curl up on the couch with my sketchbook. Maybe later in the day after I get some things accomplished…I will sit down and create some art…take another deep breath…just all part of the process…no approval needed…no security needed…no control needed…just be
