Katherine Jeanne Wood - greg's picture of our house

Greg, my husband, took this photo of the side of our house using his homemade cameras. He shot it with a digital camera, through the dirty lens of an antique camera. I think it’s pretty cool. 🙂

Indeed! 🙂 Out with the old, and all that’s broken.
In with the NEW!!
I am making lots of positive changes.
So far, 2014 has been a very good year.
 
 
work table

 
This is the time of day when the winter sun splashes onto my work area. You can see it there on the table, and up on the wall. If I turn toward the window, the light hits me in the face, and blinds me. My studio is starting to show the wear and tear of painting every day without cleaning up in between. I actually work best this way. I know where everything is, such as the orange creamy pastel is where I left it, under that piece of paper toward the right. My brain maps out, and memorizes.
 
The sign on the wall says IN YOUR FACE. The journal I’m working in is being crowded off the table. Any minute now it’s going to fall on the floor, which is okay. I like my journals best after I’ve bruised them.

Listening to Bon Iver For Emma, Forever Ago 

Flume

I am my mother’s only one
It’s enough
I wear my garment so it shows
Now you know

Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she’s the moon

I am my mother on the wall
With us all I move in water,
shore to shore
Nothing’s more

Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leery loons
Leaving rope burns, reddish ruse

Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she’s the moon

Armani's sweet book
Rereading Armani’s sweet book, Whispers from an Invisible Life

 
“Staying quiet is not only safer, it’s more magical than trying to fit in, than trying to understand people. I have to be mute, I have to be no more than a whisper. Anything louder might echo and bring this world crashing down on my head.”
 
Despite having no voice, this girl still has magic, and her invisible life is far from forsaken…

If you’re coming from Leslie’s blog, hello and welcome. Please leave a comment, so I can visit you, also.
If you’re visiting from PPF, things are going to be a little different on my blog for the next few weeks. I’m doing 30 paintings in 30 days challenge. You may remember that back in September, I did this challenge, and my theme was photo booth paintings This time around, I don’t have a theme. I want to be free to choose what I want to do in the moment. I’m going to be spontaneous! It might be an art journal page, a large painting, a collage painting, an abstract painting or a small 4×4 inch painting. It might be a serious portrait or a raw, primitive one. I may decide to paint like a child, which is harder than it sounds. Who knows what I’ll be posting? Check back each day to see. 🙂 If you click on my banner, ^ up there, you can scroll down and see posts from the entire week.
