Eiffel Tower Study in red - one of fourIIt's true... a real french restaurant is coming to Wilkes-Barre! It's going in a reconverted bank building on Ross and South Main. I've been commissioned to supply the art work and am doing the Eiffel Tower in midnight blue, orange blue and green. The panels are being made - tall verticals - my favorite! I'm so excited.....!!
I recently collaborated with my sister who just launched her website gROwWithRobin.com - we co-created with her logo and home page. Pretty neat to do projects with my sisters - actually, it's pretty neat to do anything with my sisters......
Here is juxtaposition - my most favorite four legged friend getting snowed upon outside my studio while I paint fish and turtles of Grand Cayman for one very lucky person to hand deliver to Kennedy Gallery......
It's a new year - I'm in a new studio... and I have lots and lots of empty canvases and surfaces waiting ..... this is the hardest part of the process - there is a whole ritual of ridiculous behavior which goes on before settling down and looking at that blank surface square in the face and ... beginning. My Molskine journals pave the way... always.
He said " I want to give her something beyond the ordinary for Christmas this year..." - The solution? - A portrait of their son done in pencil. Did it work? Yep......
When I was asked to do this commission years ago, I didn't grasp the concept of working as a team to get to a higher ground. In a peloton, one leads for awhile and then when tired another biker rides up to take the on wind for the good of the group. I understand more and more the idea of sharing life with others, of asking for help when needed as opposed to doing it all alone. So many people help me on a daily basis and I am so grateful. This season when it's dark and cold the light we share with one another is, to me, what the season is all about.
