Note to Me

I have been wanting to incorporate words into my artwork for some time, and today I did it with a "Note to Myself". There was something I really didn't want to forget, and I had been working on figuring out how to remind myself of this. I watched a u-tube video by James Kalm that said that words are becomming a big part of the art scene, and I figured there was no time like the present to try this. Paintings as journals can be a fulfilling experience. I will try more.

A Writer's Life

I have just finished reading Pat Conroy's new book, My Reading Life; and I am thrilled to be able to see some of his creative mothods and inspirations. As I have said before, I am interested in the creative spirit and the connections among the different creative areas in art. Hearing how the artist goes about his/her creation is so amazing, and I have learned that there are common threads among the arts.
