Geraniums Painting 'Subtle Riot'

This silvered beauty glows with a riot of subtle color, so I named it 'Subtle Riot!' The rainbow of colors play games with each other and peek through the sometimes opaque silver layer floating on top, creating an endlessly fascinating tension.

It will be for sale Saturday at the Market Street Art show http://www.marketstreet-thewoodlands.com/event/spring-art-show/2145467912/ come on out and visit my booth!

Bernstein Quote on My Art

Here we have a Leonard Bernstein quote on my art. So true about all the arts!

Turkish tour

Another look at those natural color-sources. I asked about cochineal, because you couldn't just have that on a shelf, and yes, their deep reds are cochineal. It's a South American insect that is a parasite to the prickly pear. Owners deposit them into their fields, and blow them off and collect them once they're big. Then they crush their fat, bloody bodies for a nice, natural, red dye. I'm so happy to report that the rug we purchased has cochineal in it. I'm also happy to report that it's likely in your lipstick and blush, ladies, and if you drink cherry coke - it's in there, too! :)

'My' Chair

At our theatre the other night we had an orchestra meeting after I taught my sets class. After about a half hour, someone pulled me out of the meeting for a few minutes. When I came back, everyone in the room was laughing and pointing to the nice, uh, black leather chair. I had paint on the back of my shirt, and it permanently smeared all over the leather! The last time I went in the office, I noticed that someone had taped up the sign you see here. One way to lay claim to something! Well, it's not the first time, let's see, there's my driveway with many colors of paint, our carpet with Peter Pan green footprints, my car with yellow paint on the seat, my gloves, half of my clothes. It seems like everyone likes my painted clothes, kind of like already-broken-in-jeans. Maybe I should start a clothing line!
