siva bunk linger

Samuel Rowlett on drawing:  The truth of the matter is that art is not so much the way things look, but a way of looking at things. It is a way of looking at the world, of interacting with the world, in the same way your education is a way to interact with the world around you and perhaps, at its very best, it helps you to understand how you fit into that world and to deepen your relationship to it.

100 Artists you SHOULD know.  See how many you do!

Ohhh, I had the whole afternoon free yesterday to work on the book and was ripping strips off the damn watercolor paper much easier and getting Things Done!  Until the phone rang and I was 'requested' to rescue TY.  His car died on a busy road but he was able to coast into a school parking lot where he sat stranded.  So, I put on my Wonder Woman cape and off I went and arrived just in time to see the tow truck telling him that he didn't think he could get it on his flatbed without ripping off the front bumper and grill (which you might remember we had picked up from the shop two weeks ago after he paid $700 to have it repaired...)

Off it goes.

On our way home he was mumbling something about this being god's way o telling him to get rid of it. I held my tongue admirably and DIDN'T say that it wasn't god he was hearing it was my brain screaming at him.  By the time we got home it was 5 PM and too late to go back to the favored industrial park.  Another day shot.  Today of course I am now car-less so I will have him drop me over at the studio early and turn my phone off (!) while I pick up and make it presentable for my Special Guest coming tomorrow, TBA when I see the whites of her eyes.

oh hell, don't ask me why...

Note, yesterday I posted a huge tapestry without mentioning anything about it.  Here is the info:  CANADA’S ‘Artist in Wool’Miss Elizabeth LeFort’s supreme artistry with a hook and yarn was discovered in 1954. Today her fine tapestry pictures and portraits are known around the world.
