RED!!
and yet more at etsy

i’ve put some of the small red pieces on etsy, and am happily working on the bigger ones. the borders are more elaborate on the big ones, but i am still baffled by what will occur in the centers. something that must explode out perhaps? the smaller ones are more decorative, but i am allowing myself to be more conceptual, maybe even wicked, with the larger ones, despite the surrounding gaiety of the cheerful color. hmmmmm… well, maybe i will actually finish them! so many pieces in the past year have just become substrate for another attempt. at least i am not wasting precious canvases…

i wish i knew a way to make my small pieces more visible - online, i guess, since that is my only source for showing now - etsy is not enough, especially as it is so big and i am just a little fish. i only “advertise” on my journal and a little on facebook and i’m not that popular, so not many people actually go see. it is a little sad. i could be deflated and give up, but i guess i won’t yet. i would really rather have a public place. a live one. where all the bits could hang on rusty nails on shabby walls. and people could come in the door. maybe someday…

otherwise, here i am. same as it ever was. so ready for some change. i’ve become a recluse, me and my computer in my garret. occasional forays out to the poet’s world. not so good. i am actually thinking of canceling my internet service again. i waste so much time stuffing my head with useless information. i think i really *am* an addict. just like popcorn. i just can’t have it in the house… also thinking of canceling netflix. maybe even my website hosting. part of this is an attempt to increase frugality. i’m starting to be nervous about next year. really nervous. i try to be enthusiastic and excited, like i used to be about ending and moving on, but i was so much younger then…

well, another rainy day. fine for staying in at the artTable (will i ever go wander with my camera again?). i can stay in and reclusive all day until this evening when i have to comb my hair, dress right and go to our students’ hooding ceremony. there will be cookies and bagpipers. so … onward. as always.
