karine's blog: October 2014

Wednesday, October 8, 2014. Oh Goody." Encaustic, thread and ink transfer, 9 x 12 inches. There is a lot of advice flying around these days. Especially if you are an artist, it seems. I know everyone is genuinely trying to help. Believe me, I can use a lot of help! Because once I am in the studio, nothing else gets done. It took me a few years to accept that my way of working wasn't wrong. My way of working is my way of working. So what if the early bird gets the worm? Who wants a worm anyway? The openin...

Monday, November 24, 2014. Backlit Jack." Oil on Canvas, 20 x 20 inches. I have written at least four blog posts since my last one - unfortunately, they were all written in my head, not on my key board. I guess it's hard for you to read my thoughts, huh? Yeah So here's one you can actually read. (hopefully). Lots of upcoming shows! The holidays can be a hectic time of year. I hope you will take a moment to list some things you are thankful for. Here is my list, in no particular order:. 10 A warm house.

karine's blog: Desert wonders

http://ponosmom.blogspot.com/2014/09/desert-wonders.html

Tuesday, September 9, 2014. I have been working hard in the studio - so hard, in fact, that I haven't been sweeping the floor, dusting, cooking, or much of anything else. (this is unusual for me.) I haven't been very good at photographing everything I'm working on, either. But there will be an onslaught of photos soon, I hope. Tomorrow is another day. I did want to share with you the wildlife moment Pono and I had on our Sunday hike:. Here is a photo of a recent encaustic:. I'm not trying to be a tease.

karine's blog: When it rains, it POURS

http://ponosmom.blogspot.com/2014/09/when-it-rains-it-pours.html

Friday, September 19, 2014. When it rains, it POURS. I am a little tired of shoveling dirt and mud. We had to repair part of our driveway and remove mud from the sidewalk around our house. I am also trying to locate a sprinkler head that was beneath one of our trees. I still haven't found it. Trails that were once familiar paths where we walk Pono are now remodeled by the water and nearly unrecognizable. A reminder of the power of water. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! Hwy 62 art tours. Pono must fin...

Tuesday, March 25, 2014. Morning walks in the desert have become dream - like visits in spring time wonderland. There is actually less walking than stopping, looking, loving and photographing. Thank goodness for patient walking companions. I have been busy teaching the online painting class. And inspired by them too.) I think I got lucky with a great group of people taking my class. I feel quite certain that I will offer the class again, at some point. I love everybody." Oil on canvas, 40 x 40 inches.

Tuesday, November 4, 2014. Hwy 62 Art Tours and other fall things. Strict Carnivore." Oil on Canvas, 35 x 40 inches. The Hwy 62 Art Tours are over! I am so grateful to everyone who took the time to bump down our dusty dirt road and visit my studio! It was a busy two weekends, with visitors from all over California, Nevada, Oregon, Canada, Arizona, and even a few folks from overseas. Incredible! My next group show is at the Town Burr Gallery. Pretty stuff, but I'm allergic to most of it. Oh well. If you w...

Tuesday, January 14, 2014. M gave me this fantastic book for Christmas:. Wayne Thiebaud - A Paintings Retrospective. Thiebaud has been one of my painting heroes for quite some time now, but as I drool over this book, I admire him more and more. I have been taking time to see art in person. I recently have gotten the chance to see Diebenkorn's Berkley Years at the Palm Springs Art Museum as well as a very exciting trip to Los Angeles to see MOCA. Oh, an Agnes Martin right next to Cy Twombly! It is importa...

Wednesday, June 25, 2014. Moo" Oil on canvas, 30 x 30 inches. I have to say something. I have been holding it in for too long, and if I don't get it out, I might pop. Why do we think things that are cute or fun are only for children? Why is it that only children get to have fun? People see my paintings and drawings of animals and they say, "Oh! That would be so perfect for a child's room! Or "You should illustrate a children's book! I painted them for YOU! And you know what? Links to this post. In other ...

Tuesday, February 25, 2014. More about teaching art online. Carla and Steve Sonheim, creative gurus. It was a fun weekend here in Joshua Tree. My friends from Seattle, Carla and Steve Sonheim. My studio was turned into a film set for a few days, and I discovered how strange it feels to draw and paint surrounded by cameras. Privacy." Oil on canvas, 24 x 30 inches. Links to this post. Wednesday, February 19, 2014. I don't like photos of myself, but Pono is so photogenic! I am excited because tomorrow I hav...
