BushStrokes: October 2009
http://bushstrokes.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
From an artist's studio - images, words, ideas about the influences on creating. Monday, October 05, 2009. Good Things in Nines. Last week was filled with nines. In the studio: prepped and ready for paint - NINE little canvases. I had great fun ordering all sizes in sets of nine - on sale! In the workroom: a long term project needing NINE old mailboxes. Funny how we never throw away the old one. Mike and Dennis have promised theirs! Surely, there will be updates on these good things in nines.

BushStrokes: Poppies on a Bowl
http://bushstrokes.blogspot.com/2010/02/poppies-on-bowl.html
From an artist's studio - images, words, ideas about the influences on creating. Saturday, February 27, 2010. Poppies on a Bowl. My mother recently gave me a bowl which was hand-painted with poppies floating down the sides and dripping over the edges. I have always loved poppies, but I'm not sure she knew that. Perhaps it is that magic. Which seems to separate the blooms from the foliage and makes them seem in competition whenever I paint stems and leaves under those resplendent shapes. Anemos - 48 x 60 ...

BushStrokes: August 2009

From an artist's studio - images, words, ideas about the influences on creating. Friday, August 28, 2009. Dark Clouds with Silver Linings. The second conversation was in a phone call from an old friend which was full of questions about planning a gallery in today's economy. Words about finding quality work from loyal artists, unique promotion and ethics filled the minutes. As I made the suggestion to find Alyson's Blog as a starting point, her keyboard clicked and she suddenly said, "It's every t...A der...

From an artist's studio - images, words, ideas about the influences on creating. Tuesday, September 15, 2009. Keep an Eye on the Ground. Now, after all the Hours for Watching. Sunsets and cloud pictures, my attention has been riveted to ground level. I've searched for information and I think they are "Earth Stars" (Astraeus hygrometricus.). Shades of Audrey II! It seems that I can't get away from celestial observations! Posted by Annette Bush. Friday, September 11, 2009. The Red Spiders Dance. Http:/ bus...

From an artist's studio - images, words, ideas about the influences on creating. Sunday, April 30, 2006. Two Days of Rest. Early Saturday morning, we gathered the usual stuff for two days at our country house. Suddenly, we remembered that when we closed up for the winter, we brought all the linens home. This brought discussions of "Where did we put them? Posted by Annette Bush. Friday, April 28, 2006. Weeds, Glorious Weeds. We marveled at the 'weeds' in France - every blade of grass was a picture to us&#...

Yesterday, my copy of "Bush Strokes" arrived in the mail . . . from Australia! It is not the little print newsletter called BushStrokes which I mailed before beginning to write on-line in my BushStrokes Blog. Bush. Strokes. A play on my name and the brushstrokes of a painter to define the words and images coming from my studio. I had to have a copy! Tomorrow when I can ...

From an artist's studio - images, words, ideas about the influences on creating. Monday, February 08, 2010. Quote of the Day: Ask Lucy. This is definitely art galleriable. 4 year old Lucy. After Christmas, my daughters and I were visiting among the boxes of ornaments and decorations when Lucy called us to attention. "Now be quiet, everyone, and put on your Museum manners.". I think I might have to Ask Lucy. Photos of Lucy at her white board. Photos and text of BushStrokes (c) AAB. Posted by Annette Bush.

BushStrokes: Color of the Week: SNOW
http://bushstrokes.blogspot.com/2010/02/color-of-week-snow.html
From an artist's studio - images, words, ideas about the influences on creating. Sunday, February 14, 2010. Color of the Week: SNOW. Over the weekend, our largest snowfall since 1973. It came quickly; it left quickly. A few angels, hearts and happy snowpeople were around for Valentine's Day. Berries for the birds. View from the kitchen window. Across the back fence. Lovin' the white stuff. Staying warm after a run in the snow. Joy Peace. Exuberance. Quiet. Warmth. That is the color of a little SNOW.
