OT: Painting updates

and quite a success! We had a great time and my stuff looks great but now
the house looks kinda empty. Good incentive to get back in the studio.
Here's the url's for the new pieces
http://www.plazaearth.com/philo/meyeweb.jpg
and

Have to head back down to the gallery around lunch time and then my things
will be in there for the next three months. Hopefully I'll sell a piece or
two.

Colleen,
You are INCREDIBLE!!!!!! I especially loved the "A Calla for Ya" and
"Psychoderis". "M Eye Blue" is also striking to me. I am so in awe :)

Thanks. "A Calla for Ya" is liked by a lot of people. I gave my mom a print
of it for Christmas.

start the ball rolling. Art sales in Milwuakee aren't the greatest. I
found out the area where my paintings are being shown is being populated by
a lot of Chicago professionals. Chicago is next year's goal. Who knows
maybe it'll be New York and Paris someday...probably after I'm longgggg
gone.

That's where they title of Psychediris came from. I thought the colors were
rather trippy looking...not that I've ever, ever had previous, in another
lifetime years ago, experience with illicit substances. ;>)

particular painting is the favorite one. I think we with mental health
problems can identify with it. Yes, it did come from a bad time that I was
having last winter. It's a self-portrait from a photo taken of me when
manic a few years ago. My mother hates the piece but then she can't accept
the fact that I have a mental illness either. It needed expressing and if
it touches the mind of others it's well served it's purpose. Art reflects
both the beauty and the pain within the artist.
Thanks for the compliment. I'll come visit you out east when I'm famous.
Of course I'll probably be buried. That seems to be the prerequisite for
fame within the art world. (satirical comment.)

I kinda knew the piece was a self portrait, but I didn't want to say
so, unless you volunteered the info. And you didn't go over that
hypothetical line called "the edge". I believe as you do that we who
are certifiable have a special version of nutzo vision. It can be a
good/bad thing, but it is intense.
And you have an open invitation to come east at you leisure.

fully, I could feel the anquish and dispare in the paintings of blue.
I have clinical depression and under control with meds. The blue face
hit home to hard for me.
Truely you have a gift to be able to show your emotons through art and
people can feel those emotions. Great job. If only I could draw a
straight line.
I love art. My neighbor when I grew up used water color and she has
many showings. I guess I am a geek at heart because I could go to an
art museum and spend hours and days.

Veiwing art can be as therapeutic as creating it. I don't interpret my
pieces for people. I let them draw their own conclusions. It is the
emotion that it evokes in you that is important.
I used to do an art activity program for a group of mentally ill people.
One of my edicts was that drawing straight lines was not required. I tried
to develop the sense of play and curiosity that we have as children but is
so often squelched by a system that requires us to form, draw, and think in
straight lines.
I have never and never will be able to think in straight lines. ;>)

motorcycle market. I have friends who had booths at various places and they
did diddly. I have found that galleries and person to person is the best
way to get my art out in the public. There's a place for everyone in the
art world it just takes a while to find it. Hopefully, I've begun to find
mine.

A lot of my pieces are really large and don't lend themselves well to booth
selling. Sweetheart has a cousin who is a well known photographer. He does
black and whites and then hand colors them with oil. They are really
wonerful. He does really well at art fairs and such.
The who seem to buy the most art are fellow artists. I know Sweetheart has
invested in a few pieces even though house is filled with mine.

I sold a painting already!!!! It was M EYE BLUE.
Funny story. The guy came to the coffee shop a little tipsy and fell in
love with the piece. He decided to go home and come back sober to see if he
still felt the same about it. He liked it even more and bought it on the
spot. I had to dig around today to find a replacement piece that would fit
the empty space and fit it with the others.
Now I can afford some sticks.
