Snippets of an unfinished painting found hidden in a corner of my studio during the great purge of 2021. Just might be time to give it a second attempt at completion.

Introducing the kids to Alexander Calder's work was a true win. They went into the art museum dragging their feet, came out hyped and inspired.

Check out the temporary Picasso/Calder Exhibition at Atlanta's High Museum. If kids aren't disappointed, neither will you be.

This painting isn't too precious yet for experimenting on.

Our family enjoyed supporting a long time artist friend, @jeffreywilcoxpaclipan and his current collaboration exhibit of The Secret Garden with LYNX. Beauty is certainly in the details. Our daughter was even trying to capture pictures with her communication device!
.
Show is up @gallery1740 in downtown Atlanta for just a few more weeks so check it out.

If a "finished" painting stays in my studio long enough, it gets painted on again.

My daughter is nonverbal but she makes it very clear that her favorite subject matter in art is horses.

This may go beyond just a simple love for their aesthetic form, to the way they make her feel when she rides high on their back in therapy.

A reminder to notice the things the people around you love and find joy in.

Researching and learning new things inspires me cr

Researching and learning new things inspires me creatively. Here is a really interesting article on the found differences between the male and female brain by neurorelay.com.
.
"The minds of men and women are 99% the same, but that 1% may make all the difference... Scientists point out that men and women use very different pathways and parts of the brain."
.
"Brizendine says recognizing differences doesn’t mean that one gender is “better” than the other...Men have 9% bigger brains... But men and women share the same amount of neurons, they’re just more densely packed in a woman’s brain."

My exhibit at the Augusta Regional Airport just got extended another 3 months. So if you are passing through that corner of Georgia before October, please give the showcase glass a gentle love tap. I will immediately feel your gesture of support miles away.

Discovered another save from the studio purge and rather timely.

A unique issue of Art On Paper from 2005 sharing an array of letters from a dozen artists addressing questions from a young artist just starting out.

If you are feeling a little uninspired these days, I recommend a little art and nature. If you find both at the same time, what a bonus!

Another studio find... "Neurology Now" from 2011..

Another studio find... "Neurology Now" from 2011... long before I was painting the neuron series but the same year our daughter was born.
.
I came home from one of her many Neurologist appointments having found this magazine in the waiting room. If you don't know this face on the cover, I recommend you read up on Chuck Close, his art and life story.
.
I had the privilege of seeing his work and hearing him speak a few years after reading this. Now, 10 years later, it is amazing to look back and follow the thread of interest, influence and inspiration leading to my art making now.

Why should I be the only one to get a studio upgrade? I decided to spread the love and my daughter seems to be enjoying her new real easel and organized art cart.
.
And for a moment it seemed like all was right in the studio...

My studio today ... no joke. From stripped down and bare with a freshly painted floor yesterday to this. It is all a part of the process and I am determined to see through. Time to move back in and organize.
