View from the Attic: starving artists?

http://viewfromtheattic.blogspot.com/2015/02/starving-artists.html

View from the Attic. Under the eaves with paper, glue and paint. Visit the web site. Sunday, February 8. I just watched a wonderful documentary about poverty in America called "American Winter" It made me think about people's perception of the struggling class and brought me to tears a couple of times. And it made me think of artists. So, don't ever say to someone (as the man said to his son, inspiring the creation this very blog) "look at these lucky people, they don't have to work for a living". We...

View from the Attic: remembering zero

http://viewfromtheattic.blogspot.com/2015/02/remembering-zero.html

View from the Attic. Under the eaves with paper, glue and paint. Visit the web site. Monday, February 16. I wonder about the people who lived here in 1887. How did they heat the place? Where did they cook and how. I think the bathroom attached to our bedroom was a bedroom once because it looks like the hall closet used to be a hallway leading to it. And I doubt old houses had en suite bathrooms. I want to remember zero. Enjoy our TV show and stay hunkered down until the cold passes. Ive been enjoying...

View from the Attic: braving the iceberg

http://viewfromtheattic.blogspot.com/2015/02/braving-iceberg.html

View from the Attic. Under the eaves with paper, glue and paint. Visit the web site. Friday, February 20. OK, maybe not an iceberg, but I really have to organize my studio so I can actually, you know, make stuff! As crazy as it may feel today, the season starts in about 8 weeks. I have ideas for new work, but I need to get going on it before the muse gives up on me and moves on. I have spent as much money on boxes and bins and jars and accordion files as on art supplies. Or so it seems. And yet, ...On th...

View from the Attic: I hate this but I am going to do it anyway

http://viewfromtheattic.blogspot.com/2014/01/i-hate-this-but-i-am-going-to-do-it.html

View from the Attic. Under the eaves with paper, glue and paint. Visit the web site. Wednesday, January 1. I hate this but I am going to do it anyway. Assessing the year about to pass. I hate it. I think I hate it mostly because of the endless parade, on TV and in print, of people who died this year. And the resolutions. Ack! The endless resolutions to be thinner, richer, kinder, smarter come the new year. All of this makes me a bit uneasy. Which is good, I think. Better to live on the edge than ...The d...

View from the Attic: stealing inspiration

http://viewfromtheattic.blogspot.com/2015/01/stealing-inspiration.html

View from the Attic. Under the eaves with paper, glue and paint. Visit the web site. Sunday, January 18. There is a lot of chatter on show artist boards and list serves about allowing people to photograph your work. Some folks get all knotted up about it. Post pictures of cameras with lines through them or just signs that say "no photos". This strikes me a a tad pompous, actually. As if our talent is so Louvre-able that hordes are itching to steal our work. What do you think? Sweet, isn't it? 160;I &#160...

View from the Attic: moments

http://viewfromtheattic.blogspot.com/2013/11/moments.html

View from the Attic. Under the eaves with paper, glue and paint. Visit the web site. Thursday, November 14. I'm not sure where the time goes. There was a time when I felt compelled to blog almost every day and if I didn't it nagged at me. I do blog in my head a lot! I had a sweet moment with some art show friends at my last show and I blogged in my head about it which made me think I needed to get back to this. Because it helps me remember, even if nobody is reading me anymore. Well, OK then. She asked m...

View from the Attic: catching up

http://viewfromtheattic.blogspot.com/2013/08/catching-up.html

View from the Attic. Under the eaves with paper, glue and paint. Visit the web site. Wednesday, August 28. I wanted to blog, I did. But I needed a new password and every protocol the system put me through just looped me back to the beginning so I decided to choose sanity. Today it worked. On the personal side, I saw many friends. Some I see all the time, some I haven't seen in years, some I see once a year at this show. It is the sweet part of doing a neighborhood festival. So, this is my little window i...

View from the Attic: gray skies

http://viewfromtheattic.blogspot.com/2014/05/gray-skies.html

View from the Attic. Under the eaves with paper, glue and paint. Visit the web site. Wednesday, May 21. My uncle taught me about the beauty of gray days. But it wasn't long before he got sick, his 4 pack a day habit turning his move home to a farewell instead of a long 3rd act. It was devastating. I hope everyone has a most beloved relative to think back on. May 21, 2014 at 3:51 PM.

View from the Attic: so far, so meh

http://viewfromtheattic.blogspot.com/2013/07/so-far-so-meh.html

View from the Attic. Under the eaves with paper, glue and paint. Visit the web site. Thursday, July 4. So far, so meh. OK 3 down. I hate to keep whining here. But June is the month that puts me in the black and starts to actually put income in the bank. I am still sweating fees. Not a good sign. Makes no sense to me. But, no time to ponder. My beautiful Emma is visiting. We are picking up our new little trailer today. There is a big show next weekend and I need to get ready yet again....Thanks for the up...
