Yesterday Bob of Benco Dental did a terrific job figuring out the math to center the two pieces he hung in Benco Dental's lobby. The new site of Benco is on CenterPoint Boulevard in Pittston, Pa. It's an amazing experience to see the breath of this company - I'm thrilled to have my work part of this classy organization.
Piper had an lovely room transformed into a magical arena for her imagination to soar with flying fairies and dragonflies painted all around her room in soothing light pink and green yesterday. Her big brothers Tristan and Nicholas are now thinking they need some equal attention in their rooms with perhaps images of the Beatles and/or their guitars.
It's always neat to see one of your pieces in a new home being enjoyed and 'communicating' to the owners other art works and sense of space.
This black and white poppy painting looks much different than it did in the studio..... I think it's found a pretty nice home to rest in......
I've had a request for another firefly silk - here it is - with the ubiquitous verticals in primary colors and also two birch trees grounded away form the pack.
Shown above is a detailed portion of "Know" by Leigh Pawling and Richard AstonOctober First Friday will be a celebration of the collaboration Artist for Art and The Mulberry Poet, Writers Association. Twelve Artists an twelve writers were paired at random and asked to be completely open to the imaginative process that arises during collaboration. I was paired with Richard Aston - an accomplished poet who works with words and letters in a visual manner. We met several times and settled on working together on a 'visual poem' called KNOW. The collaboration resulted in a colorful, dimensional, frenetic, transition from his original version.
