I am continuing to push forward on the abstract works. This is the largest one so far. Lots of texture and color, I wish I had gotten a better picture of it. These colors are a little bit difficult to show online, with perfection. These were the best pictures in the 2 dozen or so that I took. My neighbors probably think I am crazy, because I was hauling this painting all over the front and back yards trying to get the best light. Sheesh! LOL They are used to my crazy artist antics by now, I’m sure…but I was wearing my PJ’s, paint covered smock and fuzzy slippers while doing this, so now they know for sure that I am nuts and have no shame at all. Oh well, it works for me.

'Unification'

16" x 20"

Will need framing or stretching to hang

I’ve been busy pushing myself in the studio. These are two of the three that I stared this weekend, the third is still on the easel, I’ll share it soon. I’m switching to Un-stretched canvas for the time being, just for storage concerns. With the slow down in sales and shows over the last two years, I’ve got a storage problem in the studio. For the time being, I can paint all I want and store them easier in flat files. I can stretch them or frame them at a later date if I need/want to. The bonus to my patrons is that I can sell for less, and the shipping will be super cheap to any where! Woot! FYI: BAD! Kitty Studio always offers free shipping on every work to any where in the world. Who loves ya? ;)
Anyway…I’ve just been playing around, letting go, having fun. It’s been liberating and fun I hope that shows in the works.
Let me know what you think about the new works,

I just love hearing from you all.
Love to all,
Heather

New Art- Summer Slice

Gallery Wrapped canvas, finished sides, ready to hang

Here is the quote that helped inspire the work:
When I was four years old they tried to test my IQ, they showed me this picture of three oranges and a pear. They asked me which one is different and does not belong, they taught me different was wrong.

~Ani Difranco

This obsession I’ve had with hats made of fruit has sprouted another lovely. I have already started a lemon sister as well, so I think that these are going to end up as a series. This would be sister #2, and I think they are the three daughters of Hesperus.
So, she is bright and richly sweet. Her orange hat is brimming with golden sun warmed juice. It sparkles in the sun and smells wonderfully in the salted breeze. She looks wonderful on the drying wall with her big sister ‘Fop in Lime’. The Lemon nymph that I am working on now is just as pretty as these two. They are not Vogue cover girls these three, no. They are wild seed. They are themselves, brave and unapologetic for who they are. They are the real deal, with edible fashion statements.
Yeah baby, that’s what I’m talking about. Stay tuned for the final sister and I’ll take a picture of them all together too, so I may formally introduce the Hesperides in the proper fashion.
Have a great day, and I thank you for being here today.

Here are the two quotes for this work.

(it’s a big work, it needed more words before

it would shape up and fly right):
***
Self-interest is but the survival of the animal in us.
Humanity only begins for man with self-surrender.Henri Frederic Amiel (1821 - 1881)
***
Everything is on its way to becoming something else, and therefore, nothing can be held onto. If you see this clearly, if you consider and examine this deeply and fully, then letting go is the only thing left to do. How can you hold on? What is there to hold onto? So the art of spiritual surrender is really the art of not knowing. Then it doesn’t make any difference at all whether you are walking down the street or eating lunch or responding to your email or making love or sitting alone on your couch. This is the first and last time you will ever be doing this. If you truly understand that, it changes everything.

Scott Morrison

Good Friday all!

I have been so crazy busy this last week. I do have a new work that is coming along. I hope to finish it this loooong weekend, so maybe I can show it to you all by early next week. It’s supposed to be nice weather here in the Bluegrass, so we will be gardening, playing with the kids, and taking siestas on the back porch.

I hope everyone has a great Holiday weekend, be safe!
