Tweet Bloody Tweet

I haven't quite finished this reverse painting, just need to add colour behind the squiggly lines around the edge and then that's it. I will leave the interpretation up to others :)

Meanwhile my head is spinning with all the projects to be planned out and worked on. Nancy and I are gearing up for the new exhibit and opening reception in June for the ChamberPot Gallery, several of us at YS Arts Council are planning the october art stroll happening (street art is the theme, lining up live music, a location, etc). I tipped off the owner of the movie art house in town about a documentary called BOMB IT with the hopes she could run it the same week of art stroll (it's a long shot though). That is besides getting work ready for the miniature show IN A FRAME in June, and working on my own stuff for my October exhibit.

I LOVE ART

Saying of the Day:
How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?

I am honored that Angela chose me as one of her recipients of the thinking blog award, thankyou :) Frankly I don't know how I can narrow a list down to 5 to pass on this award as there are so many really wonderful blogs I like to visit on a regular basis.

This is amazing. The layers, the juxtaposition of images, the bold colors...it makes you want to dig in deeper.

Very, very nice.

Oh Jafabrit!
How I wish I had this in my hanging in my home. I have quite the collection now and I could not walk past this work, not when it is screaming at me to take it and then squawking at me, "Tweet Bloody Tweet", when I have to leave it here on your blog.
Grrrr...

A tremendous work that really holds the attention. Good luck with the show, I wish I could be there! Perhaps you could post a short video!

thanks everyone, it's good to get some feedback on it and your support is tremendous. I may try with another one starting the same way by taking an image out of my sketchbook and building around it.

ohh I just found your blog and have backread the whole entire thing! You have a new fan, great painting! (I especially love the framed rock faces)

Are you putting a backing on it at all? Mirror perhaps? I know it would weigh a ton -- tho silver mylar or a metallic mat board would be lighter.

I take it this is for you upcoming one woman show. Remember back when when you found out about it and fretted about having a "body of work". :-)

HI Lauren, thanks for dropping in and commenting :) nice to see you here. I had a peek at your work and look forward to seeing what you put together for your show.

I think I will build a box frame for it Jan, and paint the frame black. Yes I think it will work for the show. At this point the underlying theme seems to be directed towards fragments (of ideas, objects, quilts, images etc).

wow! the organisation to think in reverse and end up with a cohesive image amazes me!

Good luck with the show :)

I can't tell you how much I love the title "Tweet Bloody Tweet"! I just makes me smile in a knowing way for some reason. I guess I identify with the phrase.

Invisible ink. Brings me back to lemon juice and black light experiments.

The picture says what the phrase under it say7s. You love art.

An amazing piece...so thought provoking with all it's layers and
oh my the energy it has.

I am excited about your show in October...I hope to get to YS LONG before then but would love to attend that show.

Love your daily sayings! A hoot...

Hugs,
Sue

I think that painting is a war painting isn't it? Poppies, gravestones and a starling? Very good and very sad. Your portraits on wood are fantastic! Happy painting,
Betty

Hi Betty,
well it wasn't meant to be a war painting, but it sure ended up that way. It was the hat on the screaming face I guess that did it. After reading several world war history books this last couple of years the words, "the folly of war" came to mind, oil, flowers, remembrance, and the glittering propaganda that always comes with war (no matter which one we are talking about).
