Dance Production/Art Show/Concert at Frenetic Theater

Reconstructing Alice has three more shows - next weekend. It has really turned out to be an 'event.' First an incredible and very edgy dance production. After that I am having a solo art show with 38 pieces on exhibit and for sale. I've posted here a few from my animal series. The band, Carthy is playing on a covered outdoor stage after the show, and there are drinks and snacks. People have been hanging around and it's been really fun. Come and join us! We have three more shows, November 13, 14 and 15. See my previous post for ticket ordering information and details.

My first painting, Green Cat, is 18 x 24 on a nice cradled birch panel. My gorgeous animals giving you a wild front-on look are 24 x 30s, and my giant horse at the bottom is 30" square. Pretty sure you need paintings!

Reconstructing Alice - Three Down, Three to Go

Wow! We have been so busy that I haven't had a chance to even THINK about my blog, much less find time to do somewhat basic things like eating and sleeping.

We just finished tech week for Melody's show, Reconstructing Alice, and had our first three shows this weekend. Here's information she put on her posters. And LOOK! Eureka! There are still three shows, next weekend, November 13, 14 and 15. Cool! Come on out and join us!

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!
