My first! Being Co Chair :)
So besides the Open Studio at Hardy & Nance St, Artists Alive and Well gave me my first show in the City of Houston. I have been a part of them since Jan this year and you know what..no regrets. I think it is important as beginners to have a little faith. I chose to participate in most of AAW's shows and attend their meetings every month. And now I was asked to co chair a show for them! And what a beautiful place the venue is...Texas Tuscan Furniture on W Gray has some of the more intense pieces I have ever seen. Furniture made from reclaimed wood from all over the world, this place is a perfect match for art!
So I am busy attending to all matters that Co Chairs attend to and invite you to come join us for an evening of temptation:) (shopaholics know what I mean)

Fascination
So I have been on a journey to read up more about artists that I like and that influence creators on a daily basis. This week's fascination is Paul Klee. It is amazing to see how much difference Klee has made to the entire constitution of modern art. It seems like the more I read about him, the more there is to him.
He had a problem with color in the initial years of his career. Born to musicians, he was also a musician at heart. But like most artists, he was good at more than one channel of creation. He never gave up on finding color.
He kept in-depth journals of his works and ideas. I struggle with this part of my work. I carry all my ideas in my head and at the end of a series, I risk losing my idea at the start of the series. Even at school that is the one thing that my instructor-with-a-cool-french-name keeps insisting I should do. Make short notes, make small drawings, keep an account of your works.
So my lesson for the day, START A WORK JOURNAL.
So much to learn from the masters....
