resin-covered and framed
ready for a day in the park
la dama y/et la dame
die dame
the humidifier helped the resin in the heat
i was concerned
i must also report the use of my protective mask
safety first
dinning room table took the brunt of it this time
poor table

a third sister
my ode to Matisse
la dame d’henri – collage and oil 3′ x 2′
she is of course without her resin
i am hesitant to work with the stuff in any humidity

how deeply the urban landscape inspires me
i dream most nights of rambling through enormous, yet near empty, metropolises
heARTbeatgal will soon pay hommage to her urban experience
spending the day with her art in the park (#24) at the Urban Art Show
amongst a community of other great local urban artists
fiddling with finishing touches is stirring the energy in me
j’adore the poster design
at least one person I know had better come
otherwise, how will I sneak away to the bathroom?
please
tell your friends (all of whom will likely be at cottages)
fingers crossed for a pleasant day
my best wishes to the organizers

turbulent dreams about the women of my life
awoken, then, at the witching hour
up since
les demoiselles took shape around five thirty
les demoiselles – collage 14″ x 11″
three dark ladies rising with the sun
in the rain
tired and it is nine thirty a.m.

i don’t like how quickly cut flowers wither
so i paint them first
i don’t do flowers justice
better than just dead

creativity begets creativity
this will never cease to delight me

…waiting on the postman.
heARTbeatgal

i cannot afford another brain cell lost

a year ago hBg escaped to paris
her wings now clipped, she paints another night
in her sunny centretown bedroom
un autre paris

i have been working on this piece
pieces of me
for many months it has taken over my dining room
it is a beast
much work to be done yet, there is -Yoda
pieces are about to be rounded up on an adventure out west with the kids
some fraction of me is a Calgary mountain girl
and I am taking my children to share in these pieces of “western” me
got on my Montana cowgirl boots
Stampede here we come!
Yee haw!
