Field Notes on the Adventure of Being Myself. Saturday, February 18, 2012. Big, Bold, Colorful Paint: what happens when the weather is gray. Praise to the Morning. Work in progress), oil on canvas, 30" x 30". When the weather is gray, the primary colors come out. At least that's what happened this week. That, plus I finally decided to put color to the large (30" x 30") canvas that's been standing around, waiting, for months. Well, then you paint over it, silly.). And the orange blob. I don't usually leav...

Freedom Diaries: How Drawing Saved Me
http://freedomdiaries.blogspot.com/2009/12/1.html
The ongoing adventure of being human. Friday, December 18, 2009. How Drawing Saved Me. C Sukie Curtis, "Insomnia I" 12/14/08. Last year on the second Sunday morning in December, I was not a happy camper. You know how it is sometimes, when it's cold outside of you and inside of you at the same time? And you're pretty sure that the internal coldness is not just about ambient temperature? And what a waste when its power gets employed so destructively! And tried to pick up and piece back together the shreds ...

Freedom Diaries: New Turn in the Blogging Road
http://freedomdiaries.blogspot.com/2010/02/new-turn-in-blogging-road.html
The ongoing adventure of being human. Monday, February 15, 2010. New Turn in the Blogging Road. OK, this has really been happening for a while, and I've been meaning to make it more explicit. After sustaining two blogs, " Trusting Deligh. And " Freedom Diaries. For several months, I've decided to make life simpler and put the two into one. And since " Trusting Delight. Has been the longer-running of the two, it is the one that will continue, until some good reason arises for a change. This larger story i...

Freedom Diaries: October 2009

The ongoing adventure of being human. Monday, October 26, 2009. C 2008, Sukie Curtis, Backyard in Summer,. Oil on gessoed paper, 6.5"x6.5". I never did get around to explaining how I came by the title of my other, longer-running blog, Trusting. And I think it's time to do so. Which of course causes me to wonder if they are, or should be, one and the same blog. But when I recently read that it's a great idea for artists to blog about their work, and I thought: "Aha! Anyway, back to trusting delight. It wa...

Freedom Diaries: A Tale of Two Vision Boards
http://freedomdiaries.blogspot.com/2010/01/tale-of-two-vision-boards.html
The ongoing adventure of being human. Friday, January 15, 2010. A Tale of Two Vision Boards. Yesterday I moved back toward painting for the first time in quite a while, since well before Christmas. I'm not sure of all the factors involved in my choosing not to paint for so long, but I know some of them. Here's an intriguing thing (to me, anyway, maybe not to you! In the past year and a half, I have made two vision boards, using images and words pulled from magazines and catalogs. I honestly wasn't su...

Freedom Diaries: Are You Laodicean?
http://freedomdiaries.blogspot.com/2009/11/are-you-laodicean.html
The ongoing adventure of being human. Monday, November 23, 2009. I learned a new word this morning listening to Garrison Keillor's "Writer's Almanac" on NPR. It was the final word in the most recent national spelling bee, if I am remembering correctly. And while I actually am familiar with the source of this word, I never knew it was a word in its own right. The spewing out of the mouth bit was kind of catchy, too. November 23, 2009 at 12:36 PM. What the heck does that passage from Revelation mean? Irela...

Freedom Diaries: Sometimes It's Like This
http://freedomdiaries.blogspot.com/2009/11/sometimes-its-like-this.html
The ongoing adventure of being human. Sunday, November 1, 2009. Sometimes It's Like This. Well, I flunked out of church today. Maybe that's the best way to say it. Don't worry- breaking something appealed to me a whole lot more that the head against a wall thing! But it seems in order for going to church to be simpler, I have to REALLY WANT it to be so, and then to follow up that wanting with showing up with a bit more frequency than once every- hmmm, how long since I last went to church? And then there ...
