Clay update...
This is going to be a container. I will cut the ball footed piece in half and attach the piece on the right to the lid and then do more carving and embellishing to the bottom. Kind of a freaky clown guy. 
This is my class mate Haleh making a very ambitious clay column/stool for her garden. I would never have the patience or skill to pull this kind of thing off! It's fun to watch come together, she will carve on the surface and add glazes. I'll try to post some updated photos as it becomes embellished.
And lastly...this crazy scary lady emerged a few weeks ago. I was in a lousy mood that day (which does not happen to me all that often) and I couldn't quite pin point the reason. I walked into class and jokingly asked if there were horns coming out of my head...and then I made this. And I felt better. Clay is very therapeutic!
Last week...
The daily painting is starting to work for me...I have lots of new nearly completed paintings to share with you very soon. The sketch above was an after thought right before I turned out the lights...based on this painting that I did at the Fields Project last June. I like the verticality of it...will also tweak the color on this one. Here's a peek at some other new pieces:
x's...o's...hearts.
Yesterday's sketchbook page...you'll notice I missed Tuesday. Images for some sweet valentine-y paintings I might make. Created in my Cachet Classic Graph Sketch Book with a black Uni-ball Vision Pen.

Strange things done in the midnight sun...
I recently found this great newspaper clipping of my dad performing "The Cremation of Sam McGee" on stage. Growing up I heard him recite this poem around numerous campfires on dark starry nights on the sand bars of the Mississippi River. Every time it was like the first time...He had us all mesmerized and hanging on his every word. He also led the sing alongs playing his guitar with wonderful hits by Johnny Cash, The Kingston Trio and so many more. It was a magical time in my childhood - I treasure those memories and my Dad who turned 66 today...Happy Birthday Dad!
If you are not familiar with Robert Service's poem "The Cremation of Sam McGee" follow the link, you must read it! (Imagine a sinister sounding narrator, who at lighter moments broke into very jovial tone..and the back...read it to the end!)
