Journaling With Paint: Primavera... The Awakening
http://awbrucesherman.blogspot.com/2015/05/primavera-awakening.html
Wednesday, May 6, 2015. Primavera. The Awakening. This rich moment in the year has always triggered a sense of Hope and Purpose for me. It marks renewal and the much anticipated release from the icy grasp of winter. The woods are filled with magical sounds. sights and smells. All the world is alive. How can one not celebrate the marvel of this season! Scarcely is the the sugar rush emptied from the bush. When new life emerges everywhere. Gone is the the drab tawniness the lingering leafy remnants of fall,.

Journaling With Paint: November 2014
http://awbrucesherman.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 27, 2014. Profiling My Latest Commission Work. November brings river traffic abruptly to a halt. Its viciousness is but a forerunner to the angrier and more dangerous winter days of thick ice. driving snow and sleet that will make seeing. or navigating impossible. Even the veteran "river rats" shy away from river travel. except in noisy. but safer ice boats during these long, harsh months. Back to the commission. I digress. (as usual) The man's wonderful "green thumb". his ...To compen...

Journaling With Paint: "The Smallest Things... Have the Greatest Potential"
http://awbrucesherman.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-smallest-things-have-greatest.html
Thursday, April 23, 2015. The Smallest Things. Have the Greatest Potential". From Mark Twain's letter to Helen Keller reflecting upon an incident years earlier when she had been charged - and - acquitted - of plagiarism. In our personal and creative lives. Hardly. It is a cycle. part of a plan we look to repeat. Is it the same transformation repeated? Crocus. first . as expected. in full bloom! I mentioned in the concluding moments and lines of that post that I could clearly discern parallel thoughts and...

A new way: I see the color
http://gerriblogs.blogspot.com/2012/02/i-see-color.html
Monday, February 20, 2012. I see the color. Again, inspired by that same artist friend, I recall a piece I wrote in 2010 at the end of the FloCoIMo art project. I created a small piece of art a day for 30 days and created a book of them all. This narrative ended the book and described my transition from burnout condition to creative again at last. Only a handful of people have ever heard or read this piece. Twice the dripping became a roaring down the canyon of my fragile self, breaking bones, pounding m...

A new way: March 2012
http://gerriblogs.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 12, 2012. New Works at Jacksonville Center for the Arts. Morning in the woods. On this first day of the Daylight Savings Time, I was confused by how dark it still was at 7 am I looked out the kitchen window for my morning bird feeder check and, in the morning light saw what I thought was something white all ripped up around the feeders. It soon dawned on me it was the clumps of newly opened daffodils popping with happiness over the spring weather! Friday, March 9, 2012. Morning in the woods.

A new way: October 2011
http://gerriblogs.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 9, 2011. My first juried acceptance brings honorable mention. The Model - watercolor and pencil. Last year I entered a piece for consideration in a juried show and it wasn't selected. No problem. I basically did it for the experience, having never gone through the process before. I didn't expect to get selected. Entries totalled 150 pieces by 53 artists. The juror selected 39 pieces for exhibit and presented 11 awards. I feel truly honored to be among those 11. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
